Problem with emojis and custom emojis

[Merlinz 0]

I am running 

Invision Community v4.4.10 NULLED

I need help with emojis, custom emojis and Shoutbox emojis. None of them work.

The problem started when I the custom emojis I uploaded would show the code but not the emoji in the shoutbox. I tried and tried different sizes and extensions. I couldn't get it to work and the emojis in the text editor were like outdated.

I'm not a coder or even experienced with cPanel so I asked a friend who knows a little more than I do said he could delete the emojis from the folder in cPanel and then I could add new ones. I told him to do it. That didn't work. Now I have no emojis of any kind and I still get custom emojis to work.

I need help.

I wondered if there is a way to install the IPS v4.4.10 again on top of the version already loaded like an upgrade or something and if I did that would it restore the emojis?

Another question is why won't custom emojis work?

I will greatly appreciate your help with this. It has been torturing my mind for several months now and I'm tired of the problem I can't resolve.

Thank you

I found a way to solve the Shoutbox 4.1.4.1 emoji problem and I will try to explain it here.

Go to ACP,->CUSTOMIZATION->Emoji->Custom Emoji->Add Custome Emoji then upload desired emoji files to an exiting or new set->Save->Save again on Emoji overview page->ACP System->SITE FEATURES->Applications->Shoutbox->open drop down menu at far right of page->Upload a new version->then reinstall the same Shoutbox 4.1.4.1 application from your drive->Your Site->refresh the page and voila! The emojis are ready to use!

I don't know why I decided to try this and I don't know why this works but it does work for me. Each time I add a new emoji or set of emojis I reinstall the app afterwards and it works. Go figure.

Don't go crazy and add too many emojis/animated emojis like I did. My server and Cloudflare couldn't handle the load and I got 522 and 508 errors and the site went off line. Don't know why that happened either so just add them in moderation.
