Nice site "update"

The update retroactively broke thousands of posts that fall under that criteria. Including my sig. I don't even get why it was changed unless this was just an oversight.

Edit: In fact, before this update all spoilers had to have =Words to work, now they can't have that and require not to have it. Switching to a new tag system hundreds of thousands of posts after a site's creation is stupid. You just retroactively break everything ever posted.

But hey, it's SF. Nothing ever makes sense here. This is the same site that released an "improved" main site by making it exactly the same as the old with very slight tweaks.

? No they didn't.

perfectly worked.

I mean I have posts with ones that are labelled that are all broken now but the ones without labels are fine.

There were a ton of old posts where the spoiler tags kept their titles, I point at the Most Forgettable Pokémon thread, where old spoilers are untouched.

Even though we can't post new ones.

That said, this only affects posts. sigs/profiles with titled spoilers are broken. In addition, the sig image issue (where the site's overzealous firewall blocked most image servers from being used for sigs, I'm uncertain if that is once again the issue) is back, meaning that most average citizens of the forest will have to remove the images from their sig to correct it themselves.

So yeah, it's annoying, but somewhat manageable?

The reason spoiler=text doesn't work anymore is because it was a custom code. This happened last update too and it was fixed. It just needs to be fixed again.

Also.... isn't this forum section for the main site? Or does it cover both?

spoiler=words was a custom addition SF made for functionality (I think it was Tino who added it first?). It breaks every update until we get the chance to go in and re-add that functionality. Give it some time, I fully expect it will be back before you know it.

It appears to be fixed for some posts but not others which is confusing me. All my playlogs are fucked but stuff like the FE12 tierlist spoiler even with a title for the spoiler appear to be fine.

Well, I guess it says something for the work you guys did if I took for granted it was standard. Thanks for that.

I'm also getting "some broken, some not" in my D3 LP. Was hoping to copy and paste the BBCode from the posts where it wasn't broken for new posts, but no such luck. Yet.

Oh man is this the "bitch about the update" thread?

You know what is in an even worse state of disrepair? Quote tags. Oh boy are they bad now. (http://serenesforest.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=50610&p=3446389 I still don't know how putting in the same input created different output) mods pls what else is there to do but deal with my problems? :Kappa:

(Seriously though they are bad).

You are correct on all accounts, forum section included.

Man, look how easy that quote was.
