@klaus the wonderful emojis are back!
(I said that to piss off @Mik )
Do we have a ‘bastard’ emoji?

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.

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.

Not for me, Copper.
Maybe it's one of those size vs. percentage things.I do need to decrease the size of the browser window in order to post, as for me it's chopped off at the bottom. If I don't shrink the size, I end up typing where I can't see what I type. It's no big deal, I figured out how to get around the problem (by decreasing the size of the browser window).

I need to shut down and restart the whole server for an update to a core component. This may take a while and I estimate the risk that this will completely ruin the forum to be around 0.272819%.

This thread is topic #191 and today is 20201218.
288.548486 * 191 / 20201218 = 0.272819%.

I found the problem
If you Ctrl+mouse wheel
you can change the heading configuration and the whole page configurationIt's kind of a zoom function I think.

I use a tablet to get here. For the last several days I can open the forum like always, but if I try to post something it says "error" and won't post. I have to reboot the tablet first. Then when I come back and go to the thread I was trying to post in, click "reply", it pulls up what I wrote and I just simply hit the send icon and it records my post.
Why?

Perhaps it's just me, but if I try to post something - a new topic, and then decide not to, by clicking the "X" in the upper left hand corner, nothing happens, and the only way to not post something is to delete the topic.

George - it seems odd but try this.
AFTER you hit the X and nothing happens, hit the little minus sign next to it. You’ll then get the dialog box to close.
It’s weird but I noticed the difference when Klaus
fucked everything updid the last upgrade. -

Thanks. I'll try the next time I change my mind.

Hmm. I’ll look into it. It’s possible, though, that all I can do is wait for the devs to fix the bug or maybe downgrade to an old version.

You mean the "Discard" button on the upper right corner?
I tried to reproduce the error. I pressed on "New Topic", entered some text, then pressed "Discard" and then confirmed the "Are you sure?" dialog. It worked fine. I tried this with three different browsers (Edge, Chrome, Safari), each time with the same result.
I also don't understand the "delete the topic" part. You cannot delete a topic that wasn't posted first (?).
Could you tell me exactly how you get to the problem? Maybe a screenshot would help, too.

Minus sign next to?
Now I'm really confused.
Could you post a screenshot?
The only buttons I have are these:
