It appears to be a problem on your end, which I'm not equipped to diagnose.

Well I certainly don't know what to do about it. I can view the images if I open them in new tabs, so clearly I can still hit whatever server Discord keeps the images on. I'm on the latest version of Chrome. Everything else on the forum works. I don't know what else I can do.

Thanks for looking into it!

Some browsers' tracker blockers will put stricter limits on embedded content from other domains. You might find a clue in the browser console. Good luck.

Looks like it was my Privacy Badger extension blocking Discord. I disabled it for TT and everything's working now. Good call!

Twitch embeds failing is a known issue in XenForo slated to be fixed in version 2.2.0.

The forums have been updated to version 2.2.1. Some previously identified problems may be fixed, including maybe Twitch embeds. Additionally, some previous tweaks may now not be working right. Please continue to tell us if you see anything that doesn't appear to be working right.

I'm seeing that I'll have to touch up the night theme, as the wysiwyg icons are nearly invisible now.

Suddenly getting a lot of "5253An unexpected error occurred. Please try again later." on various forum pages.

I think we have the information we need to diagnose the problem. I won't be free to look into it further until later today.

The new, "compact" formatting ribbon has spread out similar-functionality buttons across the ellipses menus. For example, "Inline Spoiler" is grouped with font family, strike, and underline, but Spoiler and White Text are grouped in with Media, Code, and HR. If we can't go back to the old ribbon, where things were grouped together nicely, can individual users configure the ribbon to show the whole set of icons instead of collapsing them?

The upgrade reverted a few of our customizations. I'll see what I can do.

I can't stand the nested menus, both on mobile and on PC. I hope the old bar (or something similar) can be reinstated, or customized by the user or something.

Great news: I can hit return on mobile without losing focus! Even in rich text mode!

Next time it happens, please include the details that it refers to in the browser console.

I can't log into my forum account on my PC. I would include a screenshot except I'm posting from my phone right now, and I'm afraid to log out on this thing lest I completely lose access to my login (also the error message shows my password in plaintext). I've also tried clearing the browser cache but no dice.

Without the text of the error message I don't think there's anything I can do.

Okay, all of the errors that are being reported recently - as well as some others that I'm encountering in the admin panel - appear to have the same root cause. They appear to have been occurring intermittently. I've tried something, but I'm not sure if it's what's needed. I can see log events in the admin panel corresponding to each of these errors (@Mr. Sensible don't worry, it doesn't reveal your password to me - that's a secondary error occurring when your browser tried to interpret the first error), so I guess if they stop that means it's fixed.

I can’t quote or reply in iPhone safari, which doesn’t seem to have an accessible browser console to give any more details of what’s happening, and none of the buttons in the post editor do anything aside from the three vertical dots, which open the extra row of buttons, which also don’t work. The square brackets button is the only one highlighted, and pressing it gets me the same error Ludendorkk reported above (I’d quote it, but I can’t).

Maybe this is because I had the editor set to manual entry of bbcodes rather than wysiwyg? The cog button is missing now, is the square brackets the equivalent in the new version? In which case the buttons aren’t working because they’re set not to, aside from the square brackets button which isn’t working because of whatever is also breaking quotes.

Also there doesn’t seem to be a preview button anymore, so I can’t check whether manually putting this text in italics will work until I post it.

Sorry if this is the same problem you’re already onto, Bongo.

If you can't use any of the buttons, it's because you have bbcode turned off. You should be able to use the button that turns it back on, which looks like a pair of square brackets [ ].

I've found a bunch of little unstable things personally, and I wouldn't be surprised to see a new update in the near future to address them.
