Where's the option to write a post in plain text with codes? This is both in profile and forum posts. With JavaScript on, all I can see is the "rich text" editor. Also "edit" is harder to get to.

It's the button on the right side of the toolbar with two square brackets like [ ].

Oddly, when I try to use this mode, the cursor can't keep up with my typing if I type too fast. It's as if the browser has to do a bunch of processing every time I type a character, when actually it should be doing much less than in the WYSIWYG mode. Using the code mode is the only way to paste in copied chunks of text without the goddamn editor trying to match its formatting, though.

I usually paste it into a plain-text editor and cut it when I want to remove the rich stuff from the clipboard. Notepad works, but I usually just use the Devtools window's script console since it's a keystroke away at all times.

Ctrl+Shift+V pastes without formatting in the WYSIWYG editor.

Time to sperg about the highlight function again.

Does anyone know how it works? I'm behind 20+ pages on the TDS and it shows no highlights for me. Reading through there is quite a few posts with 15+ reactions. Same goes for the riots thread. But when I check a thread I've never read before I'll get some highlights with 6 reactions to it.

Maybe it's a little too tightly restricted on the big threads?

Low priority but maybe an easy fix: The custom forum icons have been missing since the big update.

Emojis in names turn themselves into a naked code mess every time they're quoted. It didn't do this before the update.

Every time I try rating something in the Randy Stair thread, it throws a server error, but I can rate posts in other threads.

Maybe it's an issue with the attachment itself but I'm getting this error and the attachment is not showing up in a particular post. Not sure if this is just a fluke or a symptom of a bigger issue. This happens on both .is and .net.

Source post is here. FF 81.0.1

For me I can rate everywhere else except conversations. That's the only place I'm getting that "server error" message

Apparently there was also a DDoS that coincided with the update.

I still seem to get erratic delays. I assume if there's some fucky stuff going on that there will be a fix from XenForo but otherwise it's just Samuel Collingwood Smith's welfare checks at work.

I thought it was my VPN at first until I tested loading Youtube pages. The servers really have been working hard lately considering all the hundred or thousand page threads we got going on around here that are active as all hell. As the election draws closer, it's probably going to get worse before it gets better. The DDoS' certainly haven't been helping the situation.
I foresee the night of the election to be nothing but a picture of Null tossing buckets of water on the server.

That really shouldn't happen it's a brand new server that was very expensive lol.
