Is the "spoiler" thingie broken?

Because I can't seem to get it to hide something.

Indeed, looks like it is. Opening the spoiler seems to even crash the forum script in the browser.

Must have been one of the recent forum updates. Sigh.

[Klaus]

I've manually updated the spoiler plugin.

That seems to have fixed the error of crashing the website script. But spoilers still won't open.

Will investigate further.

We are just spoiled with all the hard work you do on this forum board.

Thanks @Klaus

NodeBB update upcoming. Maybe it'll fix the spoiler issue...

Search is down…

[Klaus]

Search works well here. Can anyone else confirm that search is not working?

[mark]

Search works fine for me.

Every time I go in on my phone, this is what I get:

I get the same error on my phone.

Not sure if it's related (or just a local issue on my end) but lately when I open any page, I have to refresh it in order for it to "jump to the latest viewed post". It's like it doesn't remember my cache/settings on first load.

Still getting it on the phone

[Klaus]

I'm getting it, too. It looks to me like a regression that was introduced by a recent version of NodeBB. I'm hoping that it will be fixed in the next one.

[Klaus]

Coincidentally, the new NodeBB version was released today, and I upgraded straight away.

On my phone, search is working again. On yours, too?

Fixed! Could it have been the new iOS? My phone just updated last night.

[Klaus]

No, it's the new forum version.

@klaus seach is also working on Android.

[Klaus]

That leaves only the spoilers as the main thing that is currently not working.

I believe there's another spoiler plugin, which is less sophisticated in that the text will still be visible in post previews etc. The nice thing about the current plugin is that - when it works - it loads the hidden text dynamically when the button is clicked.

So we could either switch back to the stupid spoiler plugin, or we could wait and hope that the nice plugin will be fixed soon.

Looks like the "shoutbox" killed the twitter embed.

Here's a random tweet.

Here's a random video.
