Editor v2 takes a big step forward in providing community users with a modern message editing experience. Read on to learn about all the message editor improvements.
Drag and drop images, videos, and attachments
With Editor v2, you can drag and drop images, videos, and file attachments directly to the message editing pane or as attachments to the post.
In-line image editing
To reposition, re-size (small, medium, large) and insert a hyperlink for an image, you need only click on the image and choose the appropriate option inline.
Improved emoji support
Emojis are a powerful medium for expressing one’s thoughts and emotions. An emoji such as “👍” can be used to replace the text - “All the Best!” or “Best of Luck!” or “Well Done!”.
Editor v2 brings you the Unicode standard set of 2500+ emojis divided across 8 categories. Emojis are supported across both Apple and Windows devices.
Inline link editing
When you click on a link or use the arrow keys to move the cursor over a link in your post, the inline link pop-up menu displays:
From the inline link pop-up menu, you can click:
- Edit Link: Opens the link editing window where you can change the existing link.
- Unlink: Removes the link associated with this text.
- Bare URL: Displays the actual URL of the link instead of the website title. (If the Bare URL is active, this button is disabled and greyed out.)
- Auto Title: Displays the title of the linked webpage for the link text. (If the Auto Title is active, this button is disabled and greyed out.)
- Open Link: Opens the linked URL in a new browser tab.
Toolbar button optimization and consistency
We made several improvements to the message editing toolbar to optimize it and make it more consistent:
Toolbars across all discussion styles are now consistent and have the same controls. Moreover, the toolbars include many more options that cater to all messaging scenarios.
We hope you enjoy using these new features!

If it appears, this one should be the eye heart face 😍
Hi @mam98031,
What browser and device are you using? Are you seeing error messages or do the emojis just not appear when the post goes live?
Thanks!

No error code, they just don't show up on my post.

I found with the red bar, when it comes up, Ctrl-C your text and then hit reload. When if/when you get the login screen, just click sign-in to go back (logged in) to your previous point in your reply. Then you get the 'reload or discard' or you can Ctrl-V and just keep going. At least, that works for me.
Thank you. Copy and Paste is the best bet for me. I have found that "reload" option isn't always correct either, it is often incomplete. But the trick is to remember to do it.
I forgot to mention I have had several times, when posted to a threads, no red error message showed up, yet when I hit post and then the red message shows up and my post went poof.
