    ...and a few minutes ago they've fixed the bug. It's nice to use software with such an active community. We'll still have to wait for the next release, though.

      @klaus though different from what we've been used to, it's become head and shoulders better than Tapatalk and even Zetaboards.

      Again, thanks for all your hard work, even if you seem to be enjoying yourself.

        I've gotten the naked 'error' message too since the upgrade.

        I don't remember what sequence led to it. In each case (maybe there were two) I refreshed the page and tried again and it worked.

        @Larry for the time being - until the bug is fixed - refreshing the page (via the browser's "reload" button) might be a quicker way to work around the issue than rebooting your tablet.

            I've deactivated the extended markdown plugin. The reason I installed it originally was to enable spoilers; the rest of the features was, as far as I can see, never used by anyone. We now have a better spoiler plugin and the editor for posts now looks less cluttered. Let me know if you miss that plugin.

              @klaus I just got it on my desktop.

              Nothing but "error".

              I tried to post in the "I love my daughter" thread and that's what I got.

              Nothing but "error".

              @george-k and everyone else who has this error occasionally:

              I reported this behavior to the NodeBB developers and got this reply.

              it is exceeding difficult to debug because it just doesn't reproduce for the majority of users.

              You're the first I've heard reporting this issue, so I'd need to know what's special about your users, how many are affected, etc.

              Perhaps it is related to long-lived browser windows... if in a different tab they've logged out and back in, then the CSRF token is indeed expired. That would cause the error you see.

              If this "Error" stuff shows up again, you could help by trying to identify the exact circumstances under which it happens. That would be an important step towards making the problem reproducible, which means that it becomes fixeable.

                  Darkly mode (any dark background theme actually) has a fucked up search result font color. Can't even see it.

                        Maybe an issue with the particular browser you are using?

                          @klaus Nothing to do with the browser. Happens with any browser on Mac or PC.

                          Your screenshot is not what i'm talking about. That's why I included a screen shot.

                          Click the magnifying glass icon in the upper right section of the page.

                          As you type, the "look ahead search" produces a list of results. The look ahead search result list font color is what i'm talking about.

                            Luckily, you are an administrator of this forum, and you have IT skills, hence I hereby happily shift the burden of investigating the issue to you 🙂

                              Bad UX form to use ultra thin fonts in header material.

                              Just sayin', because I'm a dick and Klaus knows this. But he could use Comic Sans and it'd be okay. Thanks for all you're doing, it's crazy how many features you were able to add while keeping it bot-free.

                              Please love yourself.

                                I’m having a hard time reading everything here compared to yesterday, has something changed? Everything seems smaller. (On my iPad - maybe it’s just me, and I need to put on my other glasses. But it looks different. )

                                  Post a screen shot. That might be my fault. I inadvertently clicked on the darkly skin in admin control and forgot to look at what it was set at before I did that. So I just picked the first one on the admin screen.

                                  Klaus, does selecting a skin on the admin panel set the default skin? I was not aware of that. I thought I could inspect and or modify the attributes of the skin. My bad.

                                    Yes, a new font is used on the General Discussion
                                    directory page, it is less bold (skinnier lines) and darker color that blends with the background - needs more contrast between letters and the background and bolder font

                                    It is hard too tell the difference between read and unread threads because the colors are similar and dark

                                        I changed the default skin to "Paper".

                                        It looks similar to what we had before but I'm not 100% sure it's exactly like what we had before Mark screwed things up.

                                        Thoughts?
