    I also logged in as a sock and have the same problem. It would appear to be browser related. But what?

      I tried it with Edge on my computer and the tweet embedding works fine.

      Maybe you have particularly restrictive JavaScript-related settings?

        No, but I had tracking prevention set to strict. I had tried changing to basic and/or balanced, but I did not close the browser then log in again. Set to balanced now it seems to be working.

        I'd much prefer strict, myself, but this works. I tried adding Twitter as an exception in strict but it still did not work.

        It's funny, because I've always been on strict. Might be something in the new release.

          Just as a postscript, I changed it back to strict. With the workaround I found on Twitter links, the ads I had to put up with on the relaxed privacy setting are far worse.

            Is the Twitter plug-in broken?

            Twitter posts don't show up using two three four different browsers.

                Embedding aquas sister is still easy though.

                    Hay @Axtremus or @Klaus did you reboot the system?

                    Seems to be working now.

                      Yes. I'm going through a series of updates. Expect more brief outages.

                            Does the error still persist? It seems to work fine here.

                              (That said, there are still a couple of updates pending - let's wait until all updates are finished before checking whether everything works).

                                    There's a new major version of NodeBB, which includes a couple of changes to the surface that will be visible.

                                    I'm not quite sure how well that new version fits to our requirements and whether the plugins we use are compatible with it.

                                    I'll give it a try. Thanks to backups, I can revert to the old version. But we can't stay on the old version indefinitely because there will be no security updates.

                                    If you have any comments or stumble upon any issues please let me know.

                                      An obvious change is the optical look. The NodeBB developers encourage usage of their new "Harmony" theme. From what I understand, it's supposed to be the new default for NodeBB forums, and also the one with the best support, the most robust one, likely to work equally well on mobile devices etc.

                                      I suggest we should give it a try before concluding that it sucks and we want back to what we had before 😀

                                        A few things I noted:

                                        You can now edit chat messages.
                                        You can now browse the edit history of a post.
                                        You can now get a list of draft posts that you are currently working on with the button on the right.

                                          I’ve noticed that all my posts now appear to be complete bollocks. Is there a plug-in to fix that?
