That's just it, it's all the same basic functionality - drop in a URL, do some kind of look up on a remote server, then add some HTML based on it.

All adds maintenance and server performance issues.

Been watching the progress on 2.1 for a while now so it's great to see it progress to beta. Downloading on my test forum now!

It's a pity it won't support video auto-embedding (YouTube mostly)... Oh well, will resort to third-party mods again.

As for Twitter and FB posts embedding, this would be interesting (insert a link to the tweet and fetch the tweet itself, perhaps nicely formatted like the Twitter API supports), but how useful would it be? How often do you do something of the sort?

I think SCEditor supporting YouTube but probably not as Auto Embed we may activate that BBCode in future but don't want to sound official here.

About Twitter & FB they are not gonna be ... I already created one for Twitter using official API but it doesn't have auto-embed function in it.

Gryzor

I don't think Twitter of FB embedding is that useful - it's very, very rare that you'll want to embed a tweet (unless you're running a forum about Twitter? :D ). YT videos, on the other hand... All the time. And I think all major forum platforms support it by default?

actually no, twitter is mostly used public place, I'm running a forum about games you can see lots of game developers/companies on twitter and embedding those are really useful.

I'm really excited to see that Curve2 uses divs instead of tables for its layout and is fully responsive!  :)

I heavily modified the CSS for Curve on my site in order to bash it into becoming responsive. It took an ungodly amount of CSS hacks to make it work and it is still so fragile. Having a theme that is designed to be responsive is going to be so much better!
I promise you nothing.

if you are using an autoinstalled from the host, then you may not have the technical wherewithal to run/test a beta

Hey now... I use auto-installers sometimes when I truly want to break things >:D

Breaking things implies it was at some point working properly in order for it to break.

4- don't know...   you'd have to look at the list of commits. However, I will note that your 60% is specific to you - not to all installations, since MOST systems seem to correctly process the subscription return from PayPal.

I disagree, MOST systems don't use subscriptions, but of those that do there is an exceptionally large proportion who are finding the system unusable and therefore move onto other software to fill the gap. If you use the search feature you will find hundreds of posts from SMF users not able to use the subscription system. None of which seem to be addressed properly by SMF staff.

I've been trying to get the subscription system working for months now and it is often a dead end where support is concerned.

Arantor

Yes, but I'm in the category of being SMF staff in the past - and it worked flawlessly for me. I never had *any* problem with it.

If I'd actually experienced any problems myself, I'd have investigated and resolved it - but since I never encountered any problems myself, I could only make improvements in 2.1 where I *guessed* it could be problematic.

There are 'hundreds of posts', from a few dozen users.
