Once you go dark you don't come back, or something like that.

Yeah about the only thing missing is the pull down menu to select a specific board to jump to quickly (that used to be on the bottom right).

iOS/Chrome if it's an isolated issue.

WPF v0.1.5 Release Notes: Performance & Media Update

This update fundamentally changes how media is handled on woopig, bringing massive performance gains.  I completely ripped out the legacy `SimpleAudioVideoEmbedder` plugin and the old Twitter cache system, replacing them with a state-of-the-art, custom-built media engine.

The old plugin was silently killing server performance.  Every time you opened a topic, the server had to pause and run dozens of complex, heavy database checks and text replacements before it could even begin sending the page to your browser.  Worse, it was blindly injecting heavy, render-blocking tracking scripts from social media algorithms directly into our pages.

The new WPF Embedder is 100% client-side.  The server no longer processes media links, it just serves blazing-fast raw text.  The new lightweight JavaScript engine runs in your browser after the page text has already loaded, meaning you can start reading immediately without waiting on Twitter or TikTok servers to respond.  The engine caches media intelligently in your browser.  If someone posts a video you've already scrolled past, it loads instantly with zero network delay and zero database queries.  I've contained embeds into strict, native iframes, eliminating the third-party tracking script bloat that caused page jumps and layout shifts, and incidentally, was a privacy problem.

You can continue pasting links exactly as you always have. The new engine natively detects and wraps:

X / Twitter
TikTok

I knew you'd ask for that.  You and I browse the exact same way.

The bottom area is pretty crowded, so I'll have to think about where to put it.

Incidentally have there been any improvements to the search function...it never seemed like the search was indexing or indexing at all.

Agree. I pulled a thumb tendon reaching across the screen.

Before even looking at it, I'd have to ask if anyone even uses it.  I can't remember using it myself.  Testing it just now, it looks like it works as you'd expect.

I really like the changes.  Especially the new dark mode.  
All these young whipper snappers complaining about the large font can talk to me in a few years.  They will find out.  

Thanks for the effort!

Is the New button aka unread working as I just hit it and had to scroll past things I've already read. Is that function not working like before
Yep. I'm not trying to be a dick about it. It could have lived. It didn't. Not by my choice. -Elvis

It works fine for me. When I hit it, all the unread posts in every thread come up.
Well, shit...

The board looks great and is much easier to read now. Thanks OQ!
I really don't care, Margaret.
