@George-K and @Axtremus

Both work! How did you do that?

Axtremus fixed the spoiler plugin! (which caused the forum to crash today)

[Klaus]

But on the other hand this seems to have killed the Twitter embedding! I'll investigate...

I was just going to comment.

Thanks, Klaus.

As a temporary workaround, I've disabled Twitter embedding such that tweets result in links that can be clicked on.

[taiwan_girl]

Just for my opinion, If it was a choice between one and the other, I would rather be able to see the Twitter than to have the spoiler alert.

[Klaus]

Yes, but it's not so easy. I've already tried to temporarily disable the spoiler support, but the tweets still didn't work. Presumably there is some version conflict caused by recent updates. I'm confident we'll manage to fix this.

[Axtremus]

Folks, I believe the Twitter embedding issue is fixed.

Please "refresh" or "reload" the TNCR page in your browser so it loads all the new code that renders TNCR in your browser, then you should see all the embedded tweets showing up as they used to.

[Klaus]

The only small downside is that we lost the "Link to tweet" stuff below the tweet. The plugin we use now for tweets cannot be customized.

[George K]

I don't recall if there's a solution to this...if there is, I missed it.

Is there a way to upload a batch of pictures (or link them)?

I've never tried. What happens if you drag&drop a selection of pictures?

I had no idea you could do that! It works, as long as they're not too big.

Thank you!

How does one use the plugin? What’s the method of copying and pasting a tweet?

Klaus, you have probably begun your next list of Things To Fix. Please will you add on the glitch -- that you've probably discovered your ownself by now -- that causes the Reply box that you type your responses in to drool off the end of the page instead of staying put so you can see what you're typing. Aggravating as hell.

Thanks!

[Axtremus]

@Catseye3 I am not seeing the issue you’re seeing with regards to the reply box dropping off the page. One suggestion and a question:

1. Close all TNCR windows, clear browser cache, and reopen/refresh/reload TNCR window — hopefully this will clear out any script inconsistency due to your browser possibly caching some older scripts.
2. If that does not work, please tell us which browser you use on what operating system so we can attempt to reproduce the issue you see to understand what’s going on.

[Klaus]

@Catseye3 in addition to what Ax wrote, could you also post a screenshot of the situation?

[Klaus]

FYI, with the new version of the forum software I now managed to configure the tweet embedding such that a "Link to Tweet" link shows up below any embedded tweet.

[Catseye3]

To Ax and Klaus: Thanks for your help, but I get in trouble with advice like this. Even the little bit of change I made in my system had horrific effects. (I'm still shut out of my bank; hopefully will fix that today.) I can't be trusted with any kind of autonomous behavior when it comes to computers. Am compelled to blindly and dumbly obey. The computer gods get wrathful any time I get uppity.

IOW, I computer like Rainman cooks.

The reply box dropping off the edge is fine, just fine. I can live with it! No problem! Really!
