    How long has that worked?

    4 years

    It's never been very discoverable. I think I noticed it after two years..


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

    The cropped ones are just facebook portrait mode videos? I think full screen works on that?

    It's just the youtube fullscreen button won't enable (no matter what option I try). It used to work, it broke in January

    Don't think that it has worked on any that I have tried from memory, but I wouldn't have paid much attention to where they were from.

    (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).

    What was he referring to? My memories not that good either but I didn't bother.

    The Strolling Bones and Charlie Watts

    Click the name in the top row of the post

    Just tried it, excellent function and I now know what @dogmeat was on about (this could be a whole new thing for me). How long has that worked? Expecting answer - 20 years - and making me look like an idiot - again.

    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

    link.png

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


    @booboo said in UI Changes - 14/08/2020:

    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.

    Did that fix it itself?

    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

    @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
    text box 2.png

    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:

    long quote.png

    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?

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