Monster.

I'm installing updates.

Expect a few brief outages.

Let me know if something doesn't work anymore.

[George K]

What's new? Or is is just general maintenance?

[Klaus]

New versions of everything. I don't know how much is visible at the front end.

Well, I use a dark theme (don't remember exact name) and I notice that the text for thread titles with new/unread posts has turned a deeper shade of blue.

No complaint, just an observation.

Seeing HTML tags

Which just went away. Klaus magic.

I used to see unread threads in RED, and now they are BLUE. No big deal for me either.

Question: Why do the embedded pictures look so small. This seems to be a recent (last couple of months?) development.

Can you show me an example?

It's weird. I don't understand how NodeBB resizes pictures.

For example:

I'm screen-shotting (is that a word) of how it looks on my screen at a set width of the browser window.

But in the same thread, same browser width...

Hm, the HTML code for all embedded images is the same. Maybe there's something in the CSS style or the like that controls the size.

In the forum setting, I found the following parameters. I played a little with the 760px limit and changed it to 0, but it doesn't seem to have an effect.

Here's a better example:

I'm sorry, guys.

I wanted to fix the problem some people have with the Tweet embedding, but my attempt of solving it fucked up the forum so badly that I could not even undo my change! That's not what I expected.

I have now "solved" the problem by restoring to a backup from around 20 hours ago, which means that everything you posted in the last 20 hours is gone. Sorry about that!

I'll be more cautious next time I try something out

[Mik]

No worries, Klaus. Our musings are hardly sacred texts.

Jesus, I solved everything, EVERYTHING, and now it’s gone

[Copper]

That's better, thanks

You sure as hell didn't solve racism. The racism in America saddens my very soul, and it has NOT let up over the past 20 hours. My very soul WOULD have known.

[Copper]

The indigenous people started racism by killing Mr. Columbus's men who arrived here looking for work.

Reparations paid by the indigenous racists wouldn't hurt, even now.

I wouldn’t ruminate over it too much.

It’s what it is.
