You can ignore that. We had switched them to orange, but then back to blue, upon feedback.

See this thread (post number 857). Posts 841 - 855 are just gone. But I posted one of those and if I go to my user dashboard and click on "My Posts" and navigate to it, it loads a version of the thread that has those posts again (here's a direct link to one missing post). But every time I load it directly from subscribed threads they don't appear.

Cache consistency problem?
Those posts are showing up for me when I use the former link. Ctrl+F5? It does indeed seem like a caching issue.

Did you not experience that before? I never use the IMG tags (just the file uploader), but that's how I've seen that work on forums since 10 or 20 years ago.

Weird... it happens on multiple devices for me. All Chrome, but different versions, etc.

SIgned in / signed out. Incognito / not. Mobile / not. I just tried it on a brand new device and same thing!

Maybe... some sort of CDN at play here?

Sorry, content delivery network... i.e. edge caches that cache content near users (though dynamic content is less common). Just a wild theory that would explain a correlation between multiple devices / etc. on one ISPs or in a specific geographic region.

Or maybe there's something strange about all of my devices. *shrug*

Did you clear your cache?

“This has become a massive mess in an awfully short time, clearly something that was not planned and executed as well as it needed to be.” Oops, that was the SFO runway haha. Seriously though, Monday morning downtime likely wasn’t ideal.

Well, the image uploader disappeared for me with this update and I was forced to use IMG tag for the first time in ages!

Not sure if my image uploader disappearance was caused by the update, but at least that is why I've never seen the outline before.

Do you have the ability to upload now? If not, could you please email me a screenshot? [email protected]

Firefox 69.0 on the Mac.

I was unable to respond to any posts or send any private messages -- the reply boxes were always greyed out. If I tried to quote, the text would briefly display before the box greying out. I went into my settings and changed from WYSIWYG display to simple text, and it seems to be working for now.

OK, so support for the WYSIWYG editor was dropped with the update. If you switch to Full CKEditor in your options, you will have all the functions of the old WYSIWIG and more

When I select "New Mentions" ,"New Post Quotes" ,.... I first see the top of the relevant report page and in a few seconds it bounces down to the bottom and I need to scroll back
(Might be related to the added display of the info on the far right side (friends, recent visitors, ...)

FF 69.0, W10, laptop, no helper apps

Does not happen in other browsers
