Looks like this coughs update put the "reply" button at the top of the thread, unless you're replying to a specific person.

Twitter embed gone, again.

YouTube seems to be OK.

And yeah, what Jolly said.

I see a Reply link at the bottom, but the button text is now

Blue on White rather than White on Blue

Edit: Actually the Blue on White is on every post. Has it always been like that?

Embedding pics doesn't work, though drag 'n' drop does.

Copper · 13 Dec 2020, 15:06

this?

Weird. Now it's working.

Looks like it was just a hotlink from one website that didn't work. Others seem to be okay.

I need to go through a couple of updates. May take a while, with outages and times where plugins won't work.

Klaus · 13 Dec 2020, 21:09

OK, updates are finished.

We are now on NodeBB version 15.5, the latest version.

I see the design has changed a little.

Please let me know if anything doesn't work or has become worse.

Thanks, Klaus.

Twitter embeds.

And, of course, thanks for all your hard work. The check is in the mail.

Klaus · 13 Dec 2020, 21:56

Thanks, guys.

One new feature seems to be that posts can be "bookmarked". One can check the bookmarks of any user by going on his or her "profile" page (or can only I do that?).

Any other noticeable changes anyone notices?

George K · 13 Dec 2020, 23:22

@klaus the wonderful emojis are back!

(I said that to piss off @Mik )

I just clicked the 3 dots on the right
And selected Bookmark

Then I went to my profile and clicked the 3 dots
And selected Bookmarks(1) to see your post

We do have a choice between different emoji sets.

Would these emojis be better?

@klaus I rarely use emojis, but on a cursory look, they look better.

I'll leave it to the emoji users to opine.

Catseye3 · K Klaus 13 Dec 2020, 23:22

@klaus I like these, but I'll leave it to the others.

Do we have a ‘bastard’ emoji?

Mik · wrote on 14 Dec 2020, 00:09

Hey, they are back!

Another new thing in NodeBB seems to be the support for RSS. Notice these buttons?

I have no experience with RSS feeds, but they may provide a useful novel interface to the forum, e.g. on mobile devices.

But from what I can see, the feature can also be disabled. I'll leave it on for a while; if nobody is using it, I'll probably disable it to declutter the interface.

Turns out we also have a new and improved spoiler tag.

It doesn't show the content anymore in the topic preview (which @jon-nyc and others hated).

In fact, I just experimented with it a little and it turns out that the spoiler content is not even loaded from the server unless the button to un-hide it is pressed.

I'll probably try to disable the "old" spoiler function, then.
