Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

My recent communications with Vanilla

They're saying they can speed up the site by making a specific change. But the change would involve tweets not being embedded and instead showing as links. I told them that if our tweets were suddenly showing as links there would be an uproar.

If anyone disagrees with what I'm saying here please respond to this post or PM me.

I said to them that I would love nothing more than to revert our site back to the way it ran in January. But it doesn't look like that's possible unless we're willing to have tweets showing as links.

    Speed up the site? I don't have the fastest internet, but everything loads really quickly, even with 4G on my phone.

    It's probably that other sites/api's they're embedding have quota limits and they are right to admit that there's nothing they can do about it.

    Not many things just let everyone shit hammer them anymore.

    Use AI and just create your own server set up. Example here is a start (it works) Like so:

    <!DOCTYPE html><html lang="en">
    <head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">

    Can we just get the quote function and basic typing to work?

    I’m fine with faxing my tweets

    Are you returning cans to pay for this service? You're being lied to. Also, performance isn't an issue here at all, it's going backwards in time 20 years with features on the site.

    I'm told the only way to do that is to go back to the "text" format but then we would not be able to embed tweets. That is the only thing that has me keeping us in the "Rich2" format.
