Looks like embedding YouTube doesn't work either.
Does the error still persist? It seems to work fine here.
Good here too. Thanks.

There's a new major version of NodeBB, which includes a couple of changes to the surface that will be visible.
I'm not quite sure how well that new version fits to our requirements and whether the plugins we use are compatible with it.
I'll give it a try. Thanks to backups, I can revert to the old version. But we can't stay on the old version indefinitely because there will be no security updates.
If you have any comments or stumble upon any issues please let me know.

An obvious change is the optical look. The NodeBB developers encourage usage of their new "Harmony" theme. From what I understand, it's supposed to be the new default for NodeBB forums, and also the one with the best support, the most robust one, likely to work equally well on mobile devices etc.
I suggest we should give it a try before concluding that it sucks and we want back to what we had before

I’ve noticed that all my posts now appear to be complete bollocks. Is there a plug-in to fix that?

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

It's almost like you have experience with users and change management. Admittedly when I'm on the user end, I often say "this sucks, give me back what we had" but I also know any UI change becomes quite normal a few uses of it.
Thanks for the updates, Klaus!

I use the dark "Cyborg" color scheme.
Comparing the "old" and "new" user interface on an iPhone 13 Pro:
The new interface shows less information (e.g., fewer topics per screen, no view count or reply count information). But probably not a bad thing for aging eyes (and we are all aging).
Also, the "quick reply" box at the bottom is unusable because the page control blocks the "Quick Reply" button -- you cannot tap that button.
Not saying we need to revert to the old version, not leaving a historical record of how things used to be.
Carry on!

It all seems fine to me. I have to remember to use the icons at the side of the screen, but I'll get the hang of that eventually. I think the overall look is an improvement, kind of in line with what I'm seeing at work with Outlook and what-have-you.

And you have to refresh/reload your browser window/tab to get the new interface ...
I have two Safari window/tabs opened to TNCR, one showing the old interface (and as far as I can tell, the controls still work and I can navigate with them just fine), one showing the new interface. You get the new interface after you refresh or reload your browser.
I will try to not reload/refresh my old TNCR window just to see how long I can keep using that old interface.

Works for me. Changes are minor.
And it works better than it did at 0130 this morning.

The mobile version’s search function is MUCH improved.
