What’s the technical name for the feature by which we attach image files to posts?
No idea, but it's not implemented in:

src/XF/BbCode/Renderer/ApiHtml.php
public function renderTagAttach(array $children, $option, array $tag, array $options)

modifying xenforo would be a lot easier if it consisted of patching the source rather than making addons through their shitty extension points.

Are you sure what I’m suggesting would make such a drastic difference? Image and media embeds all display in quotes already, whether mobile or not. It’s just this one class of images, those uploaded directly to the forum, that behave like my image above. I have trouble understanding how switching them from “view attachment” to inline render would require the undoing of a host of foundational performance optimizations resulting in 75% worse performance of the forum as a whole.

It sounds a bit like saying changing the oil in my car caused the US to invade Iraq.
I wasn't talking about performance, but laying out the background behind the code's present state. The takeaway is that the code path where attachments are from outside the current post and have to be fetched is left unimplemented.

I'll install an addon if you have one.

$35 for a few lines of code? That sucks.
buy it, read the code, then return. it's the Walmart way.

I'm merging xenforo templates after an upgrade. Ping me or quote this post if there's anything wrong with the userbox now.

- Tagged users now show as bold in the preview window (it's still mostly styled in its own way, however).
- When in the editor, the bottom margin after a quoted block is larger so that people don't accidentally create a new paragraph after a quote (which is TRIGGERING when reading their posts).
- Fix accidental non-styling of the 'Account details' preferences page on the fluid layout. This wasn't fully tested. Report bugs!
- Smaller WISYWIG editor toolbars (such as on mobile) have more buttons now. Report issues with small toolbars being too long. It works fine on my desktop PC when resizing it but you never know how mobile browsers render it.
- WISYWIG editor buttons now have a consistent order between page widths (mobile vs PC, small mobile display vs large mobile display etc).
- Renamed Fluid -> Full Width in style names.

TL;DR report issues with the editor's toolbar buttons on PC and mobile, etc.

Rate this post YES if you use horizontal lines in the WYSIWYG editor (such as within PMs) and don't like their margin/padding between paragraphs.

Is performance hit or miss or is it just my internet? Seems like I get random slowdowns.

(One just before this post.)

edit: no, I think it's my internet. nvm :(

I don't like the permanent line at the top. It just reduces the screen size.
Is there any way to disable this?

This is basically the future of forums now. Just have to learn to adjust. I hated it at first too. It is nice always having the notification icon where you can see it at least.

If it was only the notification bell, why not.

This being the world wide web made up of hypertext documents styled with cascading stylesheets and rendered by a user agent under your control you can make it look however you want if you care enough. In this case it takes only a simple rule to escape the clutches of the sticky nav bar:
Code:
.p-navSticky { position: relative !important }

(note: I don't use this override, my screen is big enough that I don't care)

I just realized that you can embed github gists.



Except I can't get it to format LaTeX math while embedding. It works fine when clicking on the link though.

But this works:

https://mathembed.online



It's going to be useful for the Codex Workshop.

If you know how to style iframes, show me some HTML code. I was trying to style using onload adding a DOM style element or editing body.style directly and it didn't work.

I guess the forum could host its own modified KaTeX script but I'd like to avoid this if possible. Embedding without an iframe is unacceptable as well.

Before the website change, when you clicked on somebody’s picture and it showed how many brofist they received and what their recent wall quote was. Twiglard pls, having it show “reactions” looks terrible
