Isn't HTML turned off on MLPF?

It is for non staff members yes.

If it does work for you, then it most likely has something to do with group privileges - namely their signature settings. There is something members have, that administrators not. Also from what I've discovered, retired staff group also seem to have that setting, that makes them unable to update signatures when there are images in them. ^{Information based on what I caught while messaging with a member from that group; May be inaccurate}

Now the question is- what exactly it is? 

Indeed, I figured looking at that last night would be good, so I'll get to it when I'm not exhausted, I'll work with Tinker when he's not dying to try and fix this one  

OK, I'm editing my post because I now realize that you can't just edit the source, so my bad  

However I am able to just post the link to add it like you've said, so I will do further investigation.

As it is, please make sure that  you're only using one image in your signature as that's all that's enabled thus far for users.

That's fair. I have no problem with someone posting a frown reaction if someone purposely posts something sad. I would assume it's the kind of reaction they would want. 

What does the "Crazy" reaction mean, though? Is it an accusation that I'm crazy? If so, then that's far from neutral, and is not a positive reaction I would like to receive, especially if my post is serious.

Or am I misunderstanding the emote? 

I personally don't think of it as a 'You're crazy" but more of a humorous "Your post's content is somewhat crazy" akin to someone irl saying "That's nuts man" or something along those lines. I do want to judge how the community does end up using these though and I'll remove them accordingly if they're being used for the stuff I really don't think is appropriate.

Issue did not persist, their login works now.

I believe it would be possible to split that into parts - "brohooves" and "reactions", but that would mean having separate, thus receiving more notifications for that.

Not without some modification to the software

Sadly I am admittedly not a fan of the changes that have been made to the forums recently. I can commend them for attempting to improve things and to keep the site fresh, but it did more harm than it did good in my opinion. It's only that all of these new "react" features are a somewhat deterrent from giving people brohoofs, but none of the other reactions actually do or mean anything in the long-run. It feels like an idea that has potential, but that potential was never realized and the feature feels somewhat only half-finished as a result.

Thank IPS, not us 

We were not prepared for this and the only reason it's been enabled is to provide something a bit more than what we had to play around with. More changes will come in the future as we figure out what we want to do with the feature and how it effects user engagement. 

To clarify, we were not the ones to make the new reactions system, this is a part of the new update and one of the several changes that came with it.

If that's the case, then I'm sure members would like to know when their reputation count is going up vs when someone is just using a "wacky" reaction. Any chance the "So-and-so brohoofed a post" could be brought back for when people give brohoofs?

Plus, as Cerberus said, it makes the place feel more pony-like  

Unfortunately I don't think so, since it's now the reactions module, and anytime anyone 'reacted' it'd just tell you that they brohoofed you, which isn't exactly true.

I did just check the configuration for the module, and it does not allow for each reaction to have specific notification verbage unfortunately. 

No, I've already made it clear that brohoofs will be the only ones actually counting towards the reputation count going up. We weren't actually intending to implement this feature but IPS was kind enough to introduce it in this patch so I figured I might as well give the community some more icons to play around with in the meantime. 

As for the issues you've listed, the missing icons should be fixed, that was a CDN issue so it could be cached incorrectly in your browser so clearing your cache might help. 

I'll look into the post count colliding with the post date, it shouldn't be that hard of a fix. 

Thank you everyone for bringing forward some of the issues, it's been very helpful in getting us through this upgrade  

I use PIA too, but they're not always unblocked by Netflix/Amazon. It kinda sucks when they do because it always happens in like, in the middle of a series  

I've taken about 5 hours to cobble together a usable dark theme, I might make a thread for suggestions on it and stuff. The link is here below if you want to try it out, you install it using Stylish.

https://userstyles.org/styles/153233/mlpf-dark-theme 

The known bug right now is that the blogs are unsupported. There are so many differences that I will need to take a closer look and make a separate stylesheet for that. I also forgot to apply it to profiles, fixing now.

It now supports profiles. My bad on that one, I'd gone through every other link I could think of, and I've missed a couple. If something's broken, make sure you revisit the page and download the update.

Question please. Do you mean it should be visible on mobile (currently on PC) or you mean all others give reputation now too? Confused

It should be visible on both mobile and desktop.

I suppose. I'll have to take a look at it and what's going on with all of the middle elements, since basically it all needs to be inverted.

I can look into making one for stylish, though I don't have a good background to replace the one we have with. Suggestions on that are welcome I suppose  

As it is, I've fixed the CSS preventing us from seeing the brohoof image, for some reason it was filtered out with a grayscale and over saturation. That's been dealt with so please continue to bring us your issues!

Should be fixed now! At least, you'll see the icon of a brohoof and if you hover over it it should let you select the others now. I'll make the announcement on the "It's broken" thread now.

It's not really missing, it's just a bit broken in CSS. I'll work in fixing it when I find where it is. Sorry for the trouble! 

(Please keep in mind that brohoofs are currently still the counted metric towards the counter on people's pages, the rest are 'neutral') 

Have fun and stay save everyone  

As far as I've thought about the implementation I'm a bit nervous about attaching more numbers to the system as I've watched brigading happen on reddit far too often. So I'm hesitant to let the new ones have any meaning beyond positive/neutral. Hence why the 'worst' is just a frown, and I've put that in just in so that there's a valid response in case someone posts something legitimately sad, or something that'd feel downright awkard having a smileyface attached to it. I'm hoping what I have added so far is used in the right light as I'm giving the community a chance to prove we're good people  

They're just emoji at this point, everything but the brohoof emoji is considered a 'neutral' reaction.

Well the reputation counter is most certainly not new, it's just the sum of brohoofs and stuff and always has been. We're not quite ready to change that yet, and probably won't be packaging in negative options for it, but that's tbd at this point so we'll see where it goes!

If you hover over it you'll get a list of reactions, right now we've got these: 

 Brohoofs are still the only ones that bump the reputation counter.

Brohoofs are now called "Reacts".

That's a feature, not a bug  

It's gonna take a bit of time to fix yea, I woke up and did a few double takes myself  

It should just be HTML input to clarify, I do believe it strips <script> and <style> tags.
