TOPIC | Emoji Hyperlinks No Longer Work
Before the anniversary update, I often used emoji hyperlinks in my dragon bios, whether it was to link to dragons connected to them in some way, or to link back to my hatchery in the case of dragons I was selling. I've now noticed that this no longer works, and while the link is still present in the BBcode, it doesn't do anything. Now, I had initially written all my hatchery base codes before the switch to HTTPS protocol, and the links in my code reflected this. Unfortunately, updating the links does not fix the issue.

I've checked images and text with hyperlinks attached to them, and both still seem to be working properly. It's only emojis that, for whatever reason, ended up broken in the update.

[center]That's a very strange thing. I tried it as well, just to be sure, and yea, it doesn't even work if you add in some text. A workaround if they don't get to this soon is to copy the image location of the emojis and use those instead. :S[/center] [center][url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/baz/2590902][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/static/cms/icons/11.png[/img][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/static/cms/icons/117.png[/img][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/static/cms/icons/11.png[/img][/url][/center]

@Mutron I used your test as well as my old hyperlinks to see if they’d need to be updated, and it looks like everything is working properly again. Thank you! @Kitanya Thank you as well for your workaround! I appreciate it [emoji=familiar heart size=1]
