Dear members,

In November, the SON Community will undergo a design revamp with the release of Invision Community 5, marking the first significant update to the forum software since the release of Invision Community 4, which was installed over a decade ago.

As a result, particular features/services, including SendGrid, our automatic email service provider, will be permanently removed. 

New Experiences:

• Modern interface
• Built-in dark mode
• New layout modes
• New post editor
• Topic summaries
• Community experts
• Tags & content discovery

To accomplish this, there will be an expected short period of downtime for the SON Community. This will enable us to make the necessary updates and changes, allowing the community to continue thriving after more than 24 years since its original launch as an ezBoard on October 8, 2001.

So far haven't had issue with anything. When trying out (before posting) with different links.... everything embeds automatically when you post it. It even gives you the option to keep it as a link or proceed with the embed.

Not embedding automatically for me for some reason, let me try again
This is what it does with tweets

Here... an example. It embeds at the instant with me. Using on Chrome.

I'm on my Chromebook

I just copied Maxim's tweet URL and this is what I see before submitting this response:

This is what it looks like after just pasting the URL:

I don't see any issues with the member group settings, which are the same for all registered users.

Not sure if this is a browser issue on your end or what it is precisely, but X posts should automatically embed on the new version of the software.

As for Instagram, the next update should solve the embed issue after the software provider dropped auto embeds due to Meta's (Facebook/Instagram) API some time ago:

the "url embedded content" thing I do NOT get when I post a tweet at all

Embedding is working for me!

Embeds fine: https://x.com/SoapOperaNetwrk/status/1392194454971457545

X urls that include "photo" do not embed:

It worked! What did you do differently, if anything?

Just did the one with the link you posted, it was the ones with pics that weren't embedding

Ok, I found one tiny little thing to complain about 😛 and maybe it's my older eyes these days, but the little circle/star next to each topic in a forum is so tiny now. It reminds me of clicking on those tiny little X's on your iPad to get out of ads on your games (haha). I can totally live with it because everything else is so amazing, but curious if there is a personal setting I can change to increase the size of those buttons/text generally?

I agree, that is small and hard to see for me at least

Done.

Okay. Happy it's working now.

Love dark mode!

I feel like the site is different every time I check here today, hah.

Is there a way to get rid of the sidebar?

Yeah not a fan of the side bar either
