@taniwharugby

But it was working yesterday? There haven’t been any changes in the last few days

[taniwharugby]

@Duluth I think so...the days have all melted into one lately...

actually yes, they were working yesterday as I had to jump onto laptop to re-post a FB link that didnt work from my phone...

@taniwharugby hah that's exactly what I do.

When someone replies but doesn't quote is it possible to click a link back to the referenced post? (Just had to scroll back three pages to find what @dogmeat was referring to in @canefan 's post about Charlie ... my memory is not that good). Or am I missing some functionality? When I click on the @ username it takes me to that user's profile.

That hasn't changed. Click the name in the top row of the post

eg just the name part of this text

(edit - I think it's always been hidden at phone size, it should be visible in landscape mode on the phone)

I think I've mentioned before the latest upgrade that the maximise/full screen mode for videos isn't available. Is that something that can be fixed?

nodebb made some security changes that impacted a few embeds. Last time I looked I wasn't able to fix

Must be a phone thing. Not working for me. Will see if laptop works over the weekend.

none of the embedded posts are working for me on Chrome...works on my android phone though.

Did that fix it itself?

Bummer about the full screen as sometimes the vids seem to be cropped and that used to fix it.

I've partially fixed the facebook ones

Unfortunately I had to use embedly (which slows things down and adds their logo etc). However the aspect ratio is correct even for videos taken by retards in portrait mode. The full screen button works too

[taniwharugby]

@Duluth not sure, haven't been back on that laptop...Will check and let you know.

[taniwharugby]

@Duluth all good now, although quoted embedded Youtube looks different to what it used to

[Bovidae]

@Duluth I'm also curious what code/formatting is required to display text in the grey text box. So different to the quoted light blue text boxes using >.

Three of these ` before and after the text

eg

There was a button for it. It's gone missing... I'll add it back tomorrow

Ok, I've updated that button. See the highlighted button here:

There's two ways of using it:

1. Push the button and replace the text

2. Or paste the text, highlight it and then press the button.

I seem to have gone into the dark theme and don't know how to change it back, or is this the standard color now?

[Toddy]

@Frank should be a small light bulb near the top right of your screen. This toggles dark/light theme.

once you go black...

Or on the phone it's at the top of the slideout menu
