Emoji's no longer animated (serious business impact)

[Eric Adler]

Ok, not really serious business impact, but we are getting a lot of tickets as to why users can no longer see the emoji animations like (bandit) or (emo) in their desktop client.

Could it be that animations is turned off in Windows?

I have not noticed that in our S4B client. What version are you running? I am at home this week as we are closed until January 2, but I believe even in the version I am running at home they are animated. I am running 16.0.8730.2046.

Where would I find that setting. I know I haven't changed it purposefully, but you never know. They used to work great.

That is the version I am. It is, however, 64 bit.

I am using 32 bit at home and at work.
