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.

progress!
Hardcore Huskie poasters are not technologically prowess
Thanks Taft!
Nope
Mobile works better
There's no "You Sound Poor" format?
Change is hard for many.
Mobile works better
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.
Did you try Rich3?
I mostly just hate that quoting Twitter embeds only shows a link and not the content being quoted.
Insert media?
Yes this bothers me as well
I do no understand why they changed things
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.
Seems more optimized for mobile now, which I am sure they have stats on. The center-justified and the tweet quoting are the most annoying things, but speaking for myself it's not so bad to try to find another provider.
I hear Geocities is an inexpensive option
