Emoticons, BBCode buttons, and Add Poll are all working again. There was an issue during the update which Brandon has just patched to resolve the issue. It may have also resolved some other problems, but these were the ones I reported to him that resulted in the fix that was just applied.
The "<br/>" problem is gone for me! And chatbox appears to be working again, too!

On trying to delete the topic afterwards, I just end up on a blank screen, URL of .../mod/?c=29&f=4005120. This also happens if I try to trash it. I was able to hide it, but was still unable to delete it from there.
That should be fixed.

Okay, everything seems to be working great now except the Like/Dislike feature. I understand it is not really in your control as the code was developed by a third party, but I am hoping it will be available one way or another as it is a feature that is constantly used on my forum.

Whilst I'm really happy we're getting updates, Brandon, could we please get some notice of modifications you make to the DOM (maybe in the RDB forums). The multi login link broke a modification which is in use by quite a few forums (luckily I can change the code for everyone without getting them to update it) but this won't be the case for many other modifications. People running IE on a forum with a buggy code could result in them not even being able to view the forum at all (old versions) and many admins won't even notice this as the forum works fine for them (as the browser will just ignore the error).

If we could get some sort of warning beforehand then we can adjust our modifications appropriately and also find old modifications which may break and alert admins to remove them until they can be fixed. But that's if the DOM really does need to change.

On that note, the new multi login feature is great, but it just doesn't seem natural that clicking my username asks me to login to another profile. It used to link to my profile which is what makes sense. Just my opinion.

I completely agree. It'd be nice if there was a bit more talk about the update beforehand about what it contains, how it might affect third-party codes as large as Dynamo and is there a possible way to fix it. I understand that you aren't the solution for the result of a third-party code no longer functioning but due to this update the like/dislike code no longer functions which many (like The Coffee House forum) relied on

The multi-login link was not even a change to the DOM though?

The profile link changed. It used to be `main_url + "profile/" + $.zb.stat.mid + "/"`, and is now `main_url + "login/multi_login"`. Some codes relied on this link to get the user's username and mid (`$.zb.stat` is a fairly recent addition, and doesn't provide the username).

EDIT: Technically, the structure of the DOM didn't change, but the href property of the anchor element did. Most codes which require the user's username and mid used this link (generally using `$("'#top_info a[href*=profile/]")`...

and I guess this table layout is broken? Couldn't see anything obvious which might be breaking it like HTML in my forum descriptions etc.

Is there a way for Staff to know which accounts use the multi-login? Some Staff would like to know which accounts given people are using, for example to know if given single user isn't supporting himself in a discussion.

===

I still would like to know where to find this:

- Show which topics are being viewed on forum page.
- Custom topic fields. Much like a custom profile field, except for topics.

Sankyu :)

I can see how it may affect some codes, I believe I can come up with a decent solution.

Is it possible to move the multiple login link to the preferences page as it's not a feature the majority of forums will want to use and it's current position is causing issues for other codes. Futhermore, could an option be added to enable/disable this feature? Would do wonders for many people :)

You can find this by editing any forum you have on your board :)
