Inappropriate 'smileys'

[ColdTeaAgain]

Sorry if this has already been queried but I have been noticing that people are putting a smiley when I'm sure they don't mean to use that one, it is usually following a comment about something really sad and it just looks so out of place! Is it something to do with the app?

I think it is an ipad/iphone swipe easily-done thing (sorry for clunky description)

Ok, am on the app...

Back on website...

Ok I see what it happening here, on the app both those smileys look 'sad' but viewing them on website they look completely different. So people are putting a when they mean to use .

The smileys are quite far apart on the app so I think it's because they look too similar not because they are pressing wrong one by accident.

I think this needs fixing as people will be unaware if they only use the app and I've often seen people putting a raised eyebrow smiley when commenting on something really sensitive, it's not ideal!

Thanks for raising this ColdTeaAgain - we're currently in the process of re-doing the app, so a new shiny version without inappropriate emoticons should be on it's way soon.

We know this is less than ideal, but the new app should sort this issue out!

Thanks KateS, looking forward to shiny new app
