Okay, I just assumed this was a mobile device issue or a OSX quirk, but it appears to be definitely Chrome. I can confirm I have the same problem on Windows 10 Chrome whereas in Firefox it displays correctly. And it's only with some emojis. It's worth Chief talking to our vendor to see if they can do anything.

Did a little playing.

The one that doesn't work is coming from http://images.bigfootymedia.com.s3.amazonaws.com/smilies/embarrassed.gif
The thinking one works and comes from https://images.bigfootymedia.com/smilies/thinking.png

If I change the embrassed one to come from https://images.bigfootymedia.com/smilies/embarrassed.gif it seems to load properly

A lot of the other ones are all fancy and have the source like 'data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7' which all work as well.

Thanks that's a hangover from a past iteration of our image hosting. It was always going to be a little land mine waiting to pop.

I have fixed the URL.

Aaargh, I missed this post. Yes, that was the issue the whole time. Well done.
