Waaaaacky. Well, thanks for the further clarifications, even if the upshot is there's nothing to be done unless YouTube and (presumably) the underlying Mozilla/Chromium engines work their shit out.

Is there a way to add in a feature on the top bar on mobile to bring you to the bottom of the page? Era has options for both the top and bottom of the page on the bar and it’s also Xenforo.

You're not the first one to request this. I'll give it a try soon (remind me in a couple days if I've forgotten) -- it's not a hard fix, but there may be adverse side effects.

OK, I've updated the template, and the page nav is on top as well now. Please let me know if you see anything funky up there on mobile!

Ah, you see, that's because I completely misread the request as asking for page nav.

I'd like to say thanks, this wasn't what I was exactly asking for but it's still a welcome addition!

Request: Let me turn off the randomized banner. I'd like to just have the option to either select one that always gets used or just default to a generic one as I find the constant changing distracting. I checked the settings to be sure and couldn't find an option for this so thought I'd ask if it's possible.

In relation to the above I think the max banner height is 200 pixels? Can we just make all the smaller ones still have 200 pixels of vertical space allocated so the rest of the page won't move around?

This is the sort of thing I use uBlock Origin's "cosmetic filters" for. Might work for you if it doesn't become a forum option.

How possible is it to bring back a separate "jump to first unread post"?

I browse on both pc and phone, so the function tied to clicking the highlighted thread title to do so often times simply takes me to the first post, but I have been unable to identify a consistent pattern for when it will or won't.

Actually that button does exist, it’s just inside the thread itself.

Seems to happen when it’s a thread you haven’t checked in a while

It goes to the first post when you haven't opened that thread in about a month, I think. Annoying, but the Jump to New button fixes it quickly.

Is there any way to make an @ that targets all of the mods / staff? And is that something that people would find useful?

Would it be possible to move one or the other of the spoiler and ispoiler buttons so that they're adjacent on the posting interface? I've had at least 3 people tell me that they didn't know one or the other existed, since they're in different submenus, and had been manually writing their BBCode tags because of it, and who knows how many others may be having similar issues.

Whaaaaaaaat I had no idea inline spoiler was there, I've been doing the manual editing of the spoiler one! Thank you even if this doesn't get combined!

Yeah, I think some Xenforo update started grouping the editor icons into charachter styles / paragraph styles / inserts, with overflow for each group, and our TT custom tags got kind of arbitrarily sorted and hidden in the overflow menus unfortunately. Not sure how customizable the new layout is but I'd certainly take a visible spoiler icon over, say, Insert Table, if it's possible for us to change the order.

Is there a way to get the text editor buttons to stay active when not in rich text mode? I much prefer being able to highlight regions of text to apply a tag to rather than type them out manually most of the time. Not being in rich text mode is very important when some of the more elaborate tags (i.e., quote) screw up somehow.

Is it possible to put strikethrough text in a thread title? This isn't a feature request, more of a "is this feature already here" inquiry - there's no way to preview a thread title as far as I can see, and I have a thread title idea that only works with strikethrough text.

I don't think any kind of rich text is supported in thread titles, so no italics, no bold, no underline, no color, no strikethrough, etc.

Thinking about this with LP threads, is there a way to set up the jump to new post functionality (whether through the actual button or just clicking into an already viewed thread) to wait until all the images on the page have loaded? I've noticed that the forums jump to where the new post would be visually if no images were loaded as soon as the forum page loads, which is not always the same as the image loads.
