Poliwager Forum Updates [September 2024]

[Slix]

Hey all!

I'm excited to announce a few minor updates to the forum software to help make things better here!

1. Media in posts: An extension has been added to allow media embeds such as from Spotify links, YouTube videos, Giphy gifs, and more to be easily added to posts. Simply paste in the link to the content in a post, and an embedding of the link should automatically be added to the post!

For example:

Code: Select all

and

Code: Select all

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TaiHQSD1iUY

2. Mentions in posts are better: This is super minor if you've used the @ mentions before, but now they should be faster to appear when you type "@", and will still send notifications to users if they have the Notification settings enabled for mentions. Click the Notifications link at the top of the page to ensure you have them enabled if you want!

As always, let me know if you encounter any issues, and I hope you enjoy the new features!
