Bug ID: 57736 Summary: WineHQ Forum fails to load resources from twemoji.maxcdn.com Product: WineHQ.org Version: unspecified Hardware: x86-64 URL: https://forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?p=146295#p14629 5 OS: Linux Status: NEW Keywords: download, localization, source Severity: minor Priority: P2 Component: www-unknown Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: imwellcushtymelike@gmail.com Distribution: ---

At https://forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?p=146295#p146295 I used a UTF-8 emoji "????". Emoji are part of the Unicode standard but for some reason phpBB tries to replace it with an SVG.

<div class="content">If there was a like button I would like your reply! <img alt="????" class="emoji smilies" draggable="false" src="//twemoji.maxcdn.com/2/svg/1f60a.svg"></div>

..ironically the alt renders correctly (for me anyway).

twemoji.maxcdn.com is a dead host so we get the lovely "failed image" icon.

Apparently it's a phpBB bug that isn't yet fixed, but can we work around it? https://tracker.phpbb.com/browse/PHPBB-17059

I don't think the reliance on third-party SVGs is necessary, especially these days.
