Thanks for your help RachelG and Jen and araigoshi!

@RachelG

We know you did the following, but for the sake of relaying the info, here’s a suggestion they offered:

If your user is still having trouble editing posts containing polls, they will need to ensure that the edits they are making to the post do not impact the poll.

I can confirm I’m making edits that don’t affect the polls. I was previously (before the Discourse emoji update) able to modify this post.

@RachelG

Just to double check, is this the only post you’re experiencing this issue on or does it happen to every post with a poll?

This is the only post I’m having trouble with. For example, I can modify this one and it has polls (no emoji in polls)

@JenK

But after 5 mins, you’re able to edit it right? We’ll leave the setting as is unless this becomes a bigger issue for more users.

That setting can remain and wasn’t generally causing me an issue, the problem seems to be the emoji updated and the post is registering that as a change.

Is there a way to temporarily (on your end) allow me to make changes to the poll and delete the emojis? Or if that’s not possible, does Discourse have any other solutions for me to regain editing abilities of this post?

@araigoshi

I took a look at mitrac’s post and one thing I noticed is that the emoji are typed in as actual emoji

Oh thank you for looking at that! Yes you’re right, when I open the post for editing I see the emoji not the :microphone: etc, oh dear, I guess my ignorance on that caused this

I tried swapping out the loudspeaker (nice idea) as you suggested, but unfortunately that doesn’t work. I also tried both the loudspeaker and microphone just in case but that gave the same error.
