Discobot’s welcome message has a few emojis/images missing (I’m attaching a screenshot to show what I mean). I’m not sure what went wrong. Could someone shed some light into how I can fix it?

Thanks in advance!

What’s the URL path to the emoji images if you right click them? This implies your Discourse isn’t quite set up right.

Thanks for replying @codinghorror!

It goes to:

1. `https://db8720.[Communiteq](https://www.communiteq.com) (formerly DiscourseHosting)/plugins/discourse-narrative-bot/images/font-awesome-ellipsis.png`
2. `https://db8720.[Communiteq](https://www.communiteq.com) (formerly DiscourseHosting)/plugins/discourse-narrative-bot/images/font-awesome-bookmark.png`
3. `https://db8720.[Communiteq](https://www.communiteq.com) (formerly DiscourseHosting)/images/emoji/twitter/gift.png?v=6`

Hmmm.

Are you hosted with `[Communiteq](https://www.communiteq.com) (formerly DiscourseHosting)`? If you are, you should contact them about this I think?

Will do, thanks so much @codinghorror!

I’ll report back and let you know what’s the outcome. 🙂

So I asked [Communiteq](https://www.communiteq.com) (formerly DiscourseHosting).net, and this was their reply:

> This is a quirk in our deployment. It only happens with the very first message sent by Discobot. Subsequent messages will be ok.
> 
> Our apologies for any inconvenience

So I suppose that’s that! Thanks @codinghorror!
