There's ALWAYS a technical difficulty! For some unknown reason, the #8 comes out as this emoji 😎??
I keep trying to modify but can't make it change. Sorry Black, you should simply be #8.
Hopefully we all get the IDEA!

Any ideas AJ?

Thanks Mick!
Unfortunately I can’t modify the post anymore, but thanks for the suggestion!
Hey BTW, the wife and I are heading down to Tampa this visit my kids at the end of January!
We’re actually going to do the ol’ west coast tour, as well, hitting Sarasota, Venice, Fort Meyers, and even some golf with friends in Naples!
I don’t know if you’re familiar with that area of Fla. or not, but if so, I could use a few restaurant recommendations and such!

breakfast on the beach at Anna Maria is worth the trip, and if you eat late, bout 11 or 12 the bar will be open for the requisite Jack and OJ

Wishing everyone a joyous Christmas and holiday season.  Hope Santa was good to everyone.  I asked Santa for another Stanley Cup in 2019 and he said he would try his best.

First thanks for the cool post.

Merry Christmas to all my Caps family!!

Regarding the emoji. Every emoji on this site has a related text code that represents that graphic. When you type an "8" followed by a ")" you get the Sunglasses face.  For instance I created and introduced all of you during the last game to the graphic of "Stopley'd !!!!", which you can add to your posts by typing "1stop" with a colon on either side of it. The sunglasses emoji is very commonly represented as an 8 and a smile ).

I could change this code, but that would impact all previous uses of the sunglasses face in the past. Like I said, for most of the common emojis I used the global standards. For the others I typically use a word or series of characters between a pair of colons.

What you can do to avoid it is change it up by adding a space between them, as in  8 ) and it will not trigger the replacement with a graphic.

To see what code an emoji uses you can use the emoji in a post and then go to modify your post and toggle the view mode.  You will see the underlying code(s) that represent the graphics.

Another tip. If you quote someone else's post and you toggle the view mode you can see the underlying codes for the  graphics in their posts.  I have a large number of hidden graphics, such as the ones that say "Ovie Score!", etc. If you take a peek at my posts this way you can reveal the hidden codes I use to quickly call up those graphics and begin to use them yourselves.

Merry Christmas!

Thanks AJ for the explanation!
I actually understood what was said.  AMAZING!


I would like to change it, but I can’t modify the post anymore.
Canit still be modified?


And of course I wouldn’t ask you to change any of the “emoji codes”. Not only do I not use them, but it would be selfish!
 Let me know, and Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas to Rush and the gang.  So when I was 10, I felt like I had gotten the greatest presents in the world when I got a hockey net for street hockey and a St. Louis Blues jersey (Egers #15).  Then last year, when I was an older boy, I got a better one - the Stanley Cup.  Let's get another!!!.
