These options allows sites to quickly and easily match their brand identity in their knowledge base. For more detailed theming contact your CSM to inquire about Vanilla's Professional Theming Services.
Improved Reporting Plugin
The reporting plugin has been updated with improved support for post formatting. Reported posts now display as richer quote, which can preserve text formatting from the original post.
The plugin is also now compatible with Rich Editor posts.
Rich Editor
Embedded content rendering warnings
Some users configure their browser to block external scripts & sites. Sometimes this can interfere with the rendering of various rich/auto embeds. 1 commonly blocked embed is twitter. Starting in this release, if an embed fails to render due to a user's browser configuration, they will be shown a warning icon next to the link.
If they click on this warning icon they will be taken to an FAQ page explaining the issue. The embed will still render normally for other users.
