    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.

      The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

          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.

              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, 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?

                          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.

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

                                      de845a00-af4c-44fd-af4c-31aa5161fbd8-image.png

                                      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.

                                        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.

                                        :::

                                        123456
                                        :::

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