The site was moved the other day from the "Text" format to the "Rich2" format. None of us like the change.
I had/have the option of moving us back to the text format but it no longer supports tweet embeds, which is important to the site.
A few minutes ago, I switched us from "Rich2" to "Rich" format. I'm experimenting with it now. The key to embedding tweets is to click "Insert Media" and then paste the full link into it.

The only real feedback I will give is that on a laptop or big monitor the media (tweets) are center-justified while the text is left justified.

I think pictures are still left-justified? Sigs seem to be.
 
The product manager/owner wasn't considering the use case of a 50+ quote chain of shitpoasts/shit tweets/shit images.
 
On desktop, clicking the "Insert" button when inserting media is next to impossible now. The fucking horizontal scrollbar is in the way. Gotta tab to it and hit enter. What would you say ya do here, Vanilla employees?
 
id be chinterested to see other vanilla sites and go shitpost over there.

did that on those shit yuku boards back in the day with the pit.
 
Insert media?

From what I've seen, my options are to leave it as it is because it seems it's the best we can do with Vanilla.
Or, I can look for a new home. But Vanilla requires that you pay for the whole year on January 1st, so it might become a battle for me to get a refund. Vanilla got bought out by another company and for the most part I'm now dealing with new people that I don't know.
I did have a Plan B set up in the event that we ever lost our forum so then I could transfer our data to the new place. But I have found that they are no longer in business. So I'm rebuilding our Plan B.
