Forum slow - resolved (hopefully)

I made a breakthrough with jon. He expressed his remorse for being so judgmental and uncharitable towards Trump supporters. He vowed to be better, going forward. I fear those posts, and indeed that breakthrough and its long term effects on the trajectory of his psyche, are lost.

Interesting development of the CPU load over the last 24 hours.

What was it doing?

You're kidding, right?

This gives a chance to rethink what happened 75 years ago yesterday.

Dealing with epiphanies posted in the Lost 14 hours of TNCR.

Do we need to upgrade something? If so, what's the expense, and I'm MORE than willing to cover it!

I knew I shouldn’t have only posted my breakthrough COVID vaccine here! It was perfect. It involved two key ingredients, one of which was (cheap) scotch, and the other was....oh I forget. Oh well.

Embedded tweets not working....

Klaus needs to come be a professor in the U.S., so he can learn to handle these types of things better.

Hey Klaus, as a professor or professional of any sort in the U.S., you NEVER admit you don't know something. You always divert, obfuscate, or flat-ass make up something so that it is never your fault, and is never something you don't understand. At the very least you should state, "I'd explain it to you all, but it would be way over your head." Or, you could state how you are working with administration to overcome these obstacles for the benefit of everyone, and working as hard as possible, and even on a Sunday!

Verstehen sie das? Wunderbar. Fabelhaft. Ausgetzeichnet!

From me? Thanks for fixing it. I noticed the site was very slow, but thought it was my computer/browser, or just time to reboot.

Testing tweet embedding ...

EDIT: attempts to fix failed; tried loading old Twitter plugin - didn't work; deactivated the old plugin,p and put the old Embed twitter config back but changed the "replace" code to one line - didn't work; now reverted to the old Embed twitter config as Klaus had them (still not working).

[Klaus]

Sorry about the frigging Tweet support. Looks like a never-ending story. Tried a few things but also didn't succeed. I'm traveling right now; I'll look into this again when I'm back (in two days).

[Jolly]

Thank y'all. I think we can live without Twitter embed a few days.

[Rainman]

Could we get the banner put back at the top of the page?
Maybe it's called a ribbon.
I find it was more efficient in navigating than the big banner/ribbon on the bottom of the page.
Not a huge deal, I just liked it.

[Klaus]

You may experience brief service interruptions in the next hours.

[Klaus]

OK, Tweet support is working again.

I modified an existing Twitter plugin to make it work well for our purposes. Hopefully this will work for a while. (@Axtremus the name of the plugin is nodebb-plugin-twitter-klaus).

[Klaus]

@Rainman I don't see a difference. You mean the "The New Coffee Room" banner at the top? It's still there.

[George K]

Looks like the "&gif" function is broken as well...

...as if you had nothing else to do.

No, I deactivated it on purpose. I have the impression that nobody has been using it, and it’s a potential source of confusion and buggy interactions with other plugins.

Ah, OK. I'd rather keep it stable than worry about the minor hassle of finding a gif and pasting the URL into the "picture" field.

Expect a few more periods of downtime (usually at most a few minutes). Need to shuffle a few things on the harddrive.
