New topic button no longer labelled as such on mobile

(since the “upgrade” I guess)

Also post formatting is broken. If I enter a URL like this:

i can’t edit (or delete) the URL. Also broken in desktop mode on mobile.

“discard edit” also doesn’t seem to work (but that might be a combination of other things).

Can you switch from Markdown Editor to Rich Text Editor or is this also broken for you?

Yes, that clicking that splodge at top left does work, but it isn’t obvious what it is for.

The B is presumably for bold (but it isn’t bold!). The I is at least italic. The “can’t delete a link in whatever edit mode is the default” is still a problem, of course**.

** but upstream.

The ability to respond with anything other than a :+1: seems also to be missing on mobile?

Edit: Only one mobile (Nokia X10, Firefox 142.0.1, Android 14, regular or private browser, also Firefox nightly 144.0.a1 on same device). Another Android 14 Firefox 142.0.1 does not, and an Android 10 Firefox 142.0.1 one does not). Other differences are that the non-working one has is this menu style in Firefox rather than this more sensible one. I’ve no idea what set the former instead of the latter** (and note that Mozlla’s statement is clearly untrue - the new style menu is displayed in some circumstances but not others, so it must be possible to change the factors that affect menu style).

… and the same bug appears on meta.discourse.org.

** although a newly installed FF 142.0.1 in a different partition on the same device shows the old menu but still has the Discourse bug, so that FF problem isn’t causing the Discourse bug.

This Discourse announcement introduced the new editor: Introducing our new composer, making writing on Discourse easier than ever - Announcements - Discourse Meta

This is just a test and this part should be bold. (I pressed the “B” here)

What’s happening on your B?

Ah, and when adding a link inside a text, there is a option to unlink:

When just adding a link plain: https://test.de

okay, I understand: You can place a plain link but you can’t unlink:
(but of course you could delete the whole link as a text for sure)

Works for me in the Discourse Hub application on iOS. Or are you viewing the forum in a browser (and if so, which browser)?

Edit: Oh, you’re using desktop mode in a mobile browser. Wonder if that could be the issue?

Can we just turn things like this off across the site until they are working?

Obviously there are benefits to the upgrade (some translations working again) but quite a bit seems either broken (editing until you press an unlabelled button) or undocumented (new posts).

The ability to see context when replying has also been lost.

I’m viewing this currently from Chrome on HyperOS. Emoji reaction selection works the same as before, not strict to just thumbs up.
