Spoiler bar lacks "show" button

elminster

For whatever reason when I see a spoiler bar now it doesn't have a "show" button. Meaning its just a coloured background with the word "spoiler"

Anyone else experiencing this?

I am. Maybe it has to do with the new easy-tag menu?

I am also suffering this problem

on the plus side its going to be even easier to avoid spoilers

Also can't open spoilers.

The mods are aware of the situation. It appears to affect all PC browsers, but works okay for mobiles and tablets.

To quote @Dee on the matter...

Looks like Vanilla is in the process of migrating to new servers; that's probably why. Not awesome, but it should be only temporary.

Edit:
And yes, commenting on a thread appears to fix the problem. I just posted a new comment on my LP thread, which not only displays the new spoiler tags, but also fixed the old ones.

Edit 2: ... only temporarily, it seems. When I opened up my thread again in a new window, the problem returned. In any case, hopefully it will be resolved soon.

I've commented on threads and it was still not fixed. I also cannot use the "insert image" for uploaded photos. Someone cast Chaos on the forums

edit: I found a way to work around this. When you upload an image, right click on the "insert image" option to open it into a new tab. Then insert the html of that new tab/window where you want it by the typical method of typing < then img src="blah blah blah" >

Update: so it's just after seven pm here, and the spoiler tags are working. I did clear my cache and browser history, commented a couple times, and signed out/in again. Not sure how long it'll last, but they're working for now.
