Current state of the Boards

Just hit reply, for some reason the images load in reply box.... I blame witchcraft.

This brings up a minor thing that I’ve not mentioned but has been really annoying — when I embed an image, it automatically goes to the highest point in the page. So if there’s a quote at the top of the page, the image shows up inside the quote box. So naturally I delete it and try again, and on the second try it embeds where my cursor is blinking at the bottom of the page, like normal.

So, since the last major update, I typically have to embed images two times to get them right. Does anyone else experience this?
 
Must have been said a million times already, but the colours in the trade boads tags don't work. For example, the ones with proposal and confirmed trade are basically identical. Not a big deal, but it just grinds my gears :D

Plus the colour for username in dark mode is way too dark.

To narrow things down, it appears fine on XF 2.2 Default:

Not sure if this has been pointed out yet or not, but it appears that Sponsors may have lost their account upgrade. It's $12 so no big yet but I wanted to chime in just in case no one else has
Yup. I lost mine too, and not happy about dealing with all the crappy pop-up ads. Hope this is resolved expeditiously.

You can blame the crashing on XenForo Cloud, not on HF itself. They probably thought they were making the site better by moving it from AWS to be hosted by XenForo, since XenForo should know wtf they’re doing since it’s their software.
I don’t get it, who is forcing HF to use bad servers? HF has had a massive history of crashing regardless of servers. People pay for premium accounts or free users get hit with the most aggressive ad placements that you only find with sketchy low budget sites that are desperate to sell their ad space. Like it or not, HF is ran like a cheap website historically, and still is. I’ll never understand why HF takes itself so seriously when they not only have aggressive ad placements to strong arm people into premium accounts and the ads that get their ad space have some extremely questionable content. If I crashed my clients site for days I’d 100% be out of a job. That’s a fact. I have pulled up HF on SemRush before and they get good traffic, I don’t know why they run it the way they do.

Even then, when you migrate you pay to have all of your data backed up and up to date. You pay for that service. I have that on all of our sites. Let’s say it’s Xenforos fault, they still should have had all their content backed up and found an alternative rather than have been completely stuck the way they were.

I'm sorry.
