Another Board "Upgrade"

[Craig H 14,936]

I always live the default life. I'm tempted to try one of the other skins, but also afraid to do so.

[username 449]

Is anyone else finding the site to be a bit slower since the upgrade? It's not like awful but it feels like it takes an extra second or so for every page to load.

It just worked fine for me and I tired as both myself and as a guest

Now I have an iPhone X so my Safari will be more up to date than say an 8

Yeah I have an 8. Its weird because everything about the site looks super clean, and I can see your pinned post in this thread, but no other posts in any threads. I've tried googling and I'm not coming up with anything. Hopefully an update will just take care of this.

This isn't happening to anyone else?

C'mon take five seconds and just change your theme to one that's not written in all caps. Save those for last.

I tried on my Son's 8 and it worked fine so my suggestions would be

A) try on another browser (ie: chrome) on your phone

or

B) log off, clear your history, etc on your Safari app, try logging in again

Or switch to a Blackberry! Somehow you found one and got it to work.

How does inserting images work now? I've tried [img] tags and directly posting the link and neither work.

I just right clicked on the image I wanted, selected copy image, and then pasted it in this box and the image showed up. Is it a specific image you're having trouble with or all images?

[RIPPA 34,717]

Yeah - tags where removed with this update so things like [img][/img] will no longer work

Pretty much everything auto-embeds now

Most important thing is 9 times out of 10 - PASTE AS PLAIN TEXT

Also, make sure that the link ends in a .jpg, .png, .gif, or other applicable extension, or else it doesn't work.

And who the fuck knows how to get Tenor's to actually work.

[The Green Meanie 2,117]

Okay, lemme try using those methods

Edit: When inserting the image link I get this error message: "The link could not be embedded because of an unexpected error: error: undefined."

I used the insert picture button today and it worked fine.

I tried that just now too, and it just has the loading wheel, never changes.

Post the image link - even if it doesn't work.

That will at least allow me to see what you are trying to post

Okay, here's the test one I was trying:

So, the site listed has a http start, not a https. which means the board won't let you link to something that doesn't have a vaild SSL certificate (which is a good thing).

 

[The Green Meanie 2,117]

Okay, let me try using an https one:

[The Green Meanie 2,117]

Ah ha, that worked. How about gifs?

[The Green Meanie 2,117]

 

Think I've got it now!

So Invision released a patch that was broken and because I tried to run it - it broke the board.

In theory - everything is fixed now

The weird telephone game Dean and I had to do with support was fun

Sorry if this is asked and answered, but clicking on a thread no longer takes me to the newest posts, just the last page. Any way to change that on my end?
