We have smilies but no emoji’s

Have you tried "New Attachment" at the foot of the New Reply message box?
The "attachment" symbol on the tool bar is for urls (I think) - and there's a size limit to those 1024 somethings.

Someone who knows what they're talking about may be along soon.............

I can do that one, there a picture insert in the box above text but it asks for a URL which I don’t have if I’m taking a pic off the pooter . Sometimes you want to add a gif into the text box for example so being able to cut and paste or simple add a pic which isn’t an attachment works better.
