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.

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.

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.

[Klaus]

Here's a random tweet.

Here's a random video.

[Klaus]

OK, goodbye "Shoutout" plugin.

[George K]

@klaus I really didn't see the advantage to it.

[Klaus]

Well, I thought every once in a while it may be fun to play around with some new forum feature - there's a quite active community - and see whether we like it.

But if they break other stuff, then it isn't fun.

I support experimentations, they help us keep up with the time and they keep things interesting. Nothing we discuss here is mission critical, so no big deal with this site “breaks” once in a while. The underlying architecture of this system allows for fairly easy backup/restore, so we can recover from a system issue fairly easily when our experiments occasionally go sideways.
