Upgrade 2.1.2 Complaint Thread

the ability to rapidly reach the first post in threads is broken in multiple parts of the forums and that discourage me to go into threads I looked in the past because I don't remember what page I was on and since those are all very active threads...
 
@Null
Is there any thread where it shows how the messages-dates work?
As in the exact time it takes for these transformations to happen, (e.g.): [Posted X minutes ago], to [Today/Yesterday at XX:XX PM], to [Friday at XX:XX PM], to [May YY, 2019].
And if it is any different in PMs and the old forum.

Also, if you want designs or images to be submitted for the icons, there are websites with vectorial images that you can use for free & even for commercial purposes without need for attribution. I'm sure you know, and don't care enough, as you said, but I might as well remind you.

People keep complaining about this but /unread works fine and has always worked fine and I have no fucking clue what you're doing to break it.

We're users Null. If you invent an idiot proof system we'll just invent a new idiot.

Well if you want something fixed you have to do a better job of explaining what you're doing. I have never once had a single issue with the unread system.

Do you mean that if you click "first unread" it doesn't take you to where you left off? Are you always logged in when you read the forums?

Some of my watched threads have kind of 'reset' so it takes me to the first post rather than the first unread. But clicking on first unread works fine, so if that's what that guy means by 'rapidly' then that's just fucking lazy, dude.

edit: 'unread' not 'undead' ffs

There are multiple links that go to /unread. I have no idea what you people are doing.

Well that's just weird because the first unread function had disappeared on all devices I have (pc, tablets and consoles) until today despite me doing absolutely nothing to cause that (it disappeared on it's own) and the only way it worked for me on parts of the site was to press the thread title.

Well it is fixed on my end

The forum software only tracks a thread’s last read post for the last month or so. In my experience opening a thread I haven’t visited in a month will take me to the first post. Much like if I had never opened the thread before.

It does that for me, too, but it will still take me to the right place if I click "first unread". It just doesn't do it from the thread title.

I think the reason people don't mention it is because it's no big deal - one click fixes it. It's not a new issue, either. It used to happen with Xenforo 1.

This implies that there's a way to limit image sizes when I upload which I don't know about. Is there a way to do that? Because a couple of times I've realized an image I was trying to post was absurdly large and I resorted to scaling it down in GIMP
 
Pushing updates to prod without testing?

You, sir, are the bane of sysadmins everywhere.

Let's just say this hits too close to home.
 
Before the Xenforo upgrade, posts automatically formatted themselves to add a space below posted images (so, if you were to put text immediately after an image in the reply box, when you actually posted it there would be a gap between the picture and the text).

I was wondering whether this feature will be returning? It's fine if it isn't, I can just manually add a gap.

This happens in all browsers.
 
This error relates to the post preview system.

If I've got a YouTube video in a preview and I play that video for whatever reason, the audio will continue to play uninterrupted even after I've posted the message.
