You read my mind. Now we have a chance to do some cleaning up
When you delete something, press then x. otherwise it d. work.
The favicon for the discussion page is not showing, but it works fine in an individual discussion page. I've tested in multiple browsers.
Tiny detail, but since I noticed it is all I see :)
I think it's related to vanilla's pocket functionality--which allows you to inject snippets of html into the forum.
I added this pocket awhile ago.
<div style="background-image: url("https://osarch.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/cropped-banner.png");background-color: rgb(0, 0, 0);height: 183px;background-position: 0px -174px;background-repeat: no-repeat;filter: brightness(0.7);">
</div>
It adds that header image to the top of the https://community.osarch.org/discussions page.
When i turn this pocket off, that's when the favicon comes back.
Not sure why it's doing this.
Fixed it! https://open.vanillaforums.com/discussion/comment/221788/#Comment_221788
some obscure solution from 2014. ha.
It might be just me, but I've noticed the forum doesn't push email notifications anymore.
@theoryshaw I got one this morning
Would be cool to install a plugin like the following to our Vanilla Forum.
https://open.vanillaforums.com/addon/feeddiscussions-plugin
Would allow pushing RSS feeds from our Wiki, into a discussion thread.
Would create awareness of the wiki, and the changes being made there.
It looks like vanilla forums supports MP4's.
https://success.vanillaforums.com/kb/articles/57-upload-files#supported-file-types
Would be nice to enable this on our forum.
Would allow the videos to have a little more longevity, as opposed to relying on outside, 3rd party, links like dropbox, or the like, to link to video tutorials.
You can embed it now :)

This is awesome, of course!
Is there any quick way to embed? or do you have to copy and paste the following blurb, and then replace the video's url?

For now, yes, manual editing :(
just an FYI, there's been some odd behavior recently with the forum.
@Owura_qu @duarteframos and myself have experienced forum posts being deleted after post-editing them.
...and they have, at times, re-appeared after a few days.

Thanks for reporting to the relevant place @theoryshaw . If it helps I'll try to describe my findings as best I can.
It seems that if someone post a new comment while you are editing a post of your own on that same thread, the forum seems to lose track about what is being edited and breaks the reference to the ID of the post being edited, causing it to be deleted instead of saved. There is a brief popup message at the bottom of the page stating something like "error post mismatch" (I only got a glimpse of it the second time) and this apparently removes both the original post and the edited message from the thread, only to be restored again several hours later.
Theoryshaw (I think) was kind enough to remove the quadruplicates from the mentioned thread.
I got the impression this is caused by someone posting while someone else is editing because both times it happened I noticed later there was a new post after I refreshed the page.
@Moult would it be possible to put a 'Donate' link on our forum?
If you're too busy, i could probably do it. Just need permissions.
