Ruh-roh. You tried the emotes sturf. xD That can be very quirky, but it's an easy fix.
I don't think there's any need to uninstall/reinstall just yet; Do you remember the emotes.cfg file that you pasted into your FH folder when you downloaded?
Go into that file, open it with Notepad, and scroll down to the very bottom. If there are any spaces left at the bottom, delete them. This should resolve the issue.
