this is totally non saber related and I'm sorry for that but why does every emoticon render as a full forum width image with a related aspect ratio height? It's driving me crazy...

I have seen the same results with fully updated chrome on iOS, and windows 10.

I've only noticed this on mobile, doesn't happen at all when I'm on the computer.

Long story short, I have no idea.

I get the big emoticons on safari mobile as well.

I have it 100% of the time on iOS. I've seen it once or twice on PC but it's been rare.

Knytiri. Wanted to give you an emoticon for the boat humor but they have disappeared. You're delirious from the raffle win. Big congrats. Have a like instead.

Wow they suddenly are back so ... :woohoo: and a like.

Sorry for the necro, but this has been happening every time I log onto the forums from my PC lately and it's really been bothering me.

Looking at the forums from Chrome I picked a giant emoticon and picked inspect element:
:woohoo:

So it looks like it's style is set to max-width of 20 pixels, but then it also has width = 100%. So my guess is it's a matter of weather the browser follows the 'max-width' setting or not. I suspect if the 100% were changed to 20px it would resolve the issue for everyone.

I think it has to do with the width of the browser window. If I shrink my browser to the point where the Member Login/Latest Posts/Forum Statistics bits drop to below the actual posts the smileys explode, but if it's wide enough to allow those to sit to the right of the posts the smileys are fine.

TL;DR: you'll see it if you're using half of your monitor or a smaller screen to browse the forums.

Edit: It's about the point where the window goes from being a "portrait" oriented rectangle to a "landscape" oriented rectangle.

It's a bug with some themes on Kunena forums. Whoever put the Saber Forge theme together didn't bug check it at mobile resolutions. There's also an odd quirk with multiple Saber Forge logos stacked on top of each other up top, - it becomes apparently when a mobile page is loading and the auto-resize hasn't kicked in yet.

The style="width: 100%" part is definitely the culprit. When the browser reads that section, it ignores the next "max-width: 20px" part that would normally limit emote size. It's only included in the mobile theme, so my guess is the theme developer didn't bug-check the mobile part of the theme. Removing the "width: 100%" section would fix the emote bug (I've confirmed this with browser debug tools).

Considering it's applied on every emote as a style tag, it's probably in the theme's php code on the server. Preliminary research tells me it might be in what Kunena themes call a "bootstrap". If any of the forum admins have any coding experience, it should be an hour-or-two fix to locate and edit the file.

I know better than to ask for write access to the server, but if one of the admins would like to email me an offline copy of the forum theme, I'd be happy to advise on what edit needs to be made to the theme code to correct the issue.

Thanks for this. I confirmed that if I hit maximize on my browser window they shrink down and sure enough if I drag it just wide enough for the logon info to jump from the bottom to the right they shrink down. This alleviates the immediate pain for me, hopefully someone can look at the code and fix it for mobile though.
