We've recently become aware of a bug affecting the message system that only manifests itself when certain emojis are used. At this time, it is recommended to avoid the use of emoji characters in personal messages. When some emojis are used, the system will present a white screen after clicking to send the message and the message will not be sent.

As of now, I have not taken measures to prevent emoji use as I intend to fix the database issue that is causing the problem - however, please respect that this notice is a polite request to avoid emoji use. If this notice is used to abuse the bug, the use of emojis will be disabled!

As there is not yet a comprehensive list of emojis that still work, please avoid all emoji use at this time.

Thank you,
