As you can see in this image:

the `:frowning:` emoji has been replaced by the HTML `<img>` tag in its raw form. Interestingly, when viewing the results, all appears as it should.

Is the new poll UI maybe constructing its elements using `innerText`?

Looks like I’m already on latest..? How often will my Discourse instance poll (ha!) for a new release?

From the code it looks like it checks everytime you load the page.

Let me know if the polls image is still an issue for you? 🙂

I think I must be missing something – my `/admin` page says that I have `v1.6.0.beta12 +55` installed and that it’s the latest. 🙂

That is indeed the latest beta, but there are commits that you can still pick up by manually going to /admin/upgrade and having it upgrade (hence the +55 – you have 55 commits in additional to beta12)

Thanks @cpradio. Got those commits from `/admin/upgrade` and it looks like @tgxworld’s fix has come through! 😃
