Hello, I am having no history with the exact page - but can add from the IT perspective: It may just be fraud by a third party - somebody in the markets of bricks did understand "this domain is going out of business" and registered it for himself as a new owner. A scam shop may be set up which is surfing on former owners' business trust from the users. Money may just be taken to an account from where it gets money- cryptocurrency-washed. I am just speaking about well known schemas, not that it may be the case here. But users may be advised by such conditions of an shop-owner officially closing his shop, others possibly trying to take advantage of this.

Unread content? Bugged? Or how to use it?

I have completely disabled one option for using a third party software for caching. As always: If the Streams are working out suddenly after the time of this post, we may have found the source. -

Inline HTML makes it a horror story for any theming and dark mode. Also allowing HTML to be inserted is considered a security risk. I personally would as well love it, when the editor would read Markdown annotations directly... but the editor is kind of hardcoded in the product. Formatting is working via WYSIWYG buttons above the textarea for replying. I hope it can be understood we intentionally choose for the highest security for our users. -
The sad thing may be, nobody is willing to learn a thing as lawyers take it as their daily job to fight for even stupid things, if only enough money falls out for them.

Thanks for the feedback. Then I need to dig deeper on my own. ๐ฉ -

As I was doing some maintenane I did a downgrade to another PHP version which may be better supported. Not sure if this may have any effects, but as @Jack Sassy pointed me for this topic still being ongoing, I thought "give it a try". If things may work out by tomorrow for people having issues before, that could be the source of error. If this may not help I may finally need to convince myself to dig through the codebase to understand what components are used & how things are working to get any clue about what may not be working out.. -

From my point of view forums proved over the last 25+ years to be the somehow best way for sharing information for dedicated hobby communities. Facebook and other platforms tried to pull them all into their sphere - has been nice as it has been a new global thing to humanity, but I think we are also somehow smarter nowadays in regards of data-ownership and such topics. Additionally any self-hosted platform creates stronger needs for self-organisation, which global platforms are easily removing with their (good) functionality - I have the strong feeling any "social costs" of such changes are easily overseen and in consequence their effect may not even be recognized by most. With self-hosted environments, any community needs to achieve to create a shared accepted ruleset as a basis for any group cohesion starting to do its job in the minds of the people - Moderation and other administrative roles are working as stabilizers of the decicded for culture.. As more meta discussions about such topics need to take place, I have the strong believe this is paying heavily into the later observed outcome. I can also only add my gratefulness for Eurobricks still being the best place I know to discuss LEGO (and other related side-)topics. Kudos to all Mods of the Subforums - their ongoing daily work is considered the mandatory housekeeping for our community to thrive to me - you all have my greatest respect! ๐ช๐ซกโค๏ธ edit: Link to Group Cohesiveness - super interesting (to me at least!) :D -
Same here - found it a good rule of thumb to have a singular box where things to be decomposed are wandering in - if that has filled or I know some parts are in I have not in any drawers, then it may be a meditating break to do a sorting session to fill up the drawers again :D I am happy I am having mostly technic parts, not much of the tiny regular system bricks for the stuff I am interested in, otherwise I would tend to get insane more easily by the amount of different parts and colors there..

My bad, had some struggles in private life and could not check for another answer from them since then, as I did not find them helpful at all to that point. So we should still have the bug - but no more testing needed right now. Luckily I am starting my garden leave from this week for the next four months.. So I may pick up the topic soon again. -

you just need to post the real URL as is ("https://i.ibb.co/XkdMYmhP/IMG-0553.jpg"), then it should directly render like this: -

Wishing all the best for the move and whatever we may expect evolving out of your move. -
The url example was just an obfuscated, considered not working example. (I have to admit I was also lazy and let ChatGPT write it up...)
