Proper emoji support
Jump to: Newest in thread
Dear lord wouldn't it be nice to have proper emoji and gif support on Fab 
And while we're at it, threaded comments, realtime loading, and post reactions.. ya know.. like any modern app 
I know this has been mentioned before in that site feedback forum but worth a rant every once in awhile 
Keep classy y'all  |

"It's a website not an app.
It's used by a small percentage of the site - 80/20 rule says they should do bugger all as it won't achieve much "
Semantics.. a website is a web application. A mobile app is a native application. There's no real difference - they use the same code standards and often the same, if not very similar languages.
I don't expect fab to change anything but I can still have a gripe about it from time to time  |

There is a certain joy to finding a new emoji though that we wouldnt get if they were all there at our fingertips. Where's the hunt, the thrill. 
A beaver would be nice though.

"Modern is overrated.
Oh for sure in some instances..
Don't get me wrong.. I have plenty of nostalgia for the pre and early internet days but some features are just quality of life improvements. "
Emojis and Gifs really are quality of life improvements.
I can't go a day without a Gif or a smiley face.

Just out of curiosity, what are, threaded comments, realtime loading and post reactions? |

Threaded comments = replying to a specific comment gets nested in its own sub-conversation (thread). Still visible from the main thread but keeps things a bit tidier than the reply+quote method
Realtime loading = being able to load new thread comments without having to refresh the entire page
Post reactions = applying an emoji reaction to a specific comment without needing to reply+quote the entire comment |

The first thing sounds like it will just make things harder to follow, having conversations within conversations.
The second thing I don’t really get, I don’t refresh the page in order to post a new comment.
The last thing I can and often do anyway. If a post is long and I want to respond to a specific bit of it then I discard the rest.
FAB is the only social media I am on so I am unfamiliar with how other sites work.
This seems to work fine.  |

Fair enough and to each their own-
The current system doesn't play well with my ADHD but I agree it technically works- I just crave more organization. Fab's UI is legitimately more disorganized than the features I've mentioned.
Probably a bit of a generational/experience difference here - I have a tech background and have been working with computers for 25 years so some of the improvements I've mentioned actually help me - not just a moan for the sake of "progress" rant |

I couldn't agree more. It would degrade the quality of the discussions and ruin the spirit of the forum.  † |

Fair assumption - In my experience, this issue often doesn't happen elsewhere where gifs are supported. People over the age of 20 generally don't gifbomb a thread |

You've clearly not seen the average mental age of those on Fab |

Exactly this. ^^^^^

Other than being wrong, yes you can have a gripe but given how it won't change anything, the question is, should you? |

"Why? The very early 2000’s feel is obviously very dear to the owners heart  "
Love this. Using Fab I am often reminded of my FaceParty days. Good times (on both counts) |

I think the Fab servers are actually two tea trays, like the sort Mrs Overall used to carry |
