Mentions are working now! (I had to reinstall the plugin).

Anything else?

Next. I'm diving into the new image format support. Looks like the installed ImageMagic supports WEBM, HEIC, HEIF, AVIF, and DNG. Let's see if I can hack them in...

WEBM is supported by PHP 7.4 (currently installed)
AVIF is supported by PHP 8.x (next step)
HEIF/HEIC will be supported by PHP 8.5 (to be released in November)

So .... step by step ....

The forum upgrade solved a very long outstanding issue with small images - if they are smaller than the default thumbnail size, they are not shown. Finally, all images are shown!

This time it was a global Cloudflare outage:

Nope. Still broken 😕

And there is another annoying issue with the remaining post content, not refreshed page (as a result not working "Edit" button). So far, I have no idea what might cause it.

And it's not the Cloudflare RocketLoader. I disabled it, but the errors are still there:

   

Checking the templates..

Tweaked the showthread template. The diff report does not correspond to the real one, and the real one does not correspond to the oage source. Nice ...

Fixed! Try again, guys!

The "showthread" template was stuck in one of the multiple caches. I updated it, removed duplicate stuff, and now it look fine. And works faster.

Also:
New kernel, new PHP modules, new MySQL, reboot.

... I wonder how many more templates need proper updating and tweaking ... And considering all the caches, how do I know what I'm actually changing?

... now I can go back to my PAID job ... 😆

... DB backup first 😉 ...

Got this from Ali:

Site information violation
Risk level: -
There are issues with the site information. You can no longer generate new promotion links or earn commissions from any existing promotion links.
Compliance risk

Appellation failed. Sent them a bunch of mails - no response yet... 😪 That's a bummer ...

Going to appeal again. But they never say what's wrong. I'm getting penalties every month for "Antispam Minor Violation"/"Reason for violation:Traffic" and also with no explanation.
