Hi there, admins!

I've just a dumb (maybe) question: why can I see now, in the emoticons gallery, an icon of Hitler??

I was wondering how is it possible?

cheers

It's not a case of whether we can fix it or not - it's more a case of how fixed would you like it?

Re: weird??

People just assume it's Hitler. It is in fact Charlie Chaplin on a bad hair day.

Re: weird??

I think the icon appeared roughly at the same time as this video was posted on the forum
