YNM Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 (edited) I think I have a problem with the twitter embed function. Weirdly this only happens on Mozilla Firefox (I have 89.0.2) . I have HTTPS Everywhere, NoScript, Privacy Badger and uBlockOrigin extensions installed. The twitter embed works on Chromium (ungoogled-chromium) with 'the same' (same names, different implementation perhaps) extension. Wondering if anyone else have had similar issues, or if someone have discovered how to fix it. Very likely not related to the forum software itself since it works on other browsers. EDIT : I also have DarkReader installed. Edited June 30, 2021 by YNM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the forum software has issues with links being pasted normally, because it assumes if you paste with formatting (which is the default) then it means you don't want the forum to expand it to a proper embedding. Same goes for pasting image links. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it's not that the embeddable content doesn't get embedded - they get embedded fine (and yeah I'm well aware of the rich text 'issue' and I know how to get around it), but it looks all like it's just in plaintext from my browser. Example : Spoiler From my post here : On Mozilla Firefox : Spoiler On Chromium (ungoogled-chromium) : Spoiler Absence of likes/reactions is not an issue, this is only since I'm not logged in. NOTE EDIT : I use DarkReader extension, sorry about that. I'm sure this problem is local - the same plaintext form appears shortly before the proper embedded form where it works - but something seems to be failing to load / failing to happen. I'll probably try to clean the cache... see if something got stuck there. EDIT : Tried that, didn't work in the Firefox on my Windows 10 (only cleared the cache, all date ranges). Will try on Kubuntu. EDIT 2 : Works in Firefox on my Kubuntu w/o doing anything, so yeah this is only on that one specific installation.

Oh... well I'm kinda stumped since it seems like the intermediate phase itself only appears in Windows 10 version. Maybe something to do with different implementation of the browser ? So officially off being a forum problem ? Edited June 30, 2021 by YNM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dientus Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 Are there any plans to make a more "mobile friendly" version of the forums? i.e. one issue is anytime an emoji or @ user is used (BBCode/CSS related?) The cursor disappears and often jumps to earlier parts of texts. When this happens, no attempts to move the point of next typed letters work, regardless of cursor location on the screen.

Using the forum on a mobile is... a mess, and it has been for quite some time. Our dear IT department does a great job keeping the forum software up to date, but they have no control over development apart from reporting bugs (which they do regularly).

Spaceman.Spiff Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 When I logged on just now, I got a popup related to updated rules. It required an agreement before continuing on the forums. I read through and I couldn't tell what changed. Can you enlighten me?

It is simply the forum recording your response to reading the rules so that if the need ever should arise where you, in the generic and collective sense, ever need to be moderated, it cannot be claimed "I didn't know that was in the rules?!"

4x4cheesecake Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 Another thing about the prompt to read and agree to the community guidelines and terms: rule 2.2l and 5.1 contain a forum link which cannot be opened unless you agree to the rules so you basically agreeing to something you couldn't read before (as soon as you click the link you'll be just redirected to the community guidelines). You may want to consider to rework the guidelines there PS: yes, I know most people wont read them anyway but if this is the reason for the prompt in the first place: 18 hours ago, adsii1970 said: Not much.

I think that there are enough detail-oriented people here that making the full rules visible in the 'Read Before Proceeding' page is worth consideration. Additionally, I'm not certain about how much flexibility the forum offers to put such things outside the wall and make them visible, but I think that there's merit in including some specific threads and posts out there, as well, such as the Good Conduct Guide and others. That said, I get the distinct impression that this was more of an administrator decision rather than a moderator one, so you have my apologies if I am directing this to the wrong people.
