Question about question marks

Newly I get sometimes red question marks when I try to move a piece in the tactics section. Don´t know why or what it means. It is then impossible to move the piece.Does anybody face the same strange thing?

Not sure. There is a new animated emoji feature.

Is it possible someone is watching you solve puzzles and posted the question marks??

What browser is that? That is a Board Emoji and you should only see it if you are holding down certain keys on your keyboard, while left-clicking

I know early on there was a bug with one specific browser on Macs, I believe, but as far I'm aware, that particular bug was fixed.

@justbefair, board emojis only show if the player pots them on the board, and there isn't a way to watch someone doing tactics or place emojis on someone else's board

Aha.

So @Archaja did it himself by holding down the "e" key and left clicking the square.

Not necessarily. But each emoji has its own key shortcut, so it's possible the ?? key shortcut was held, but it's also possible, there's a bug

Thanks for the quick replies! I don´t press any keys on my keyboard normally when I do tactics. Can someone tell me how to disable these "absolute awsame (mean ugly) feature"? (or ??). I don´t need it, don´t want it, don´t like it. Would just be happy to go back (to the good old days or so) without this popping up things!
