Updated my post, thanks.
MOTD breaking change
-
We just removed markdown from motd, now admins can put pretty much anything into that box including iframe and script tags. We updated the motd on this site to include social widgets from facebook, twitter and github.
If your NodeBB installation is using a lot of markdown in the motd message you will need to convert it to html. One the bright side now you can do lots of custom stuff there. The future widget system will allow this too for custom sidebars.

Sweet!

But what about a preview?

But what about a preview?
we will look into that for the widget system

Has this update broke the MOTD?
The MOTD is disabled but it still shows the default MOTD. I have to put a single space character in to make it not show.
-
I think that is the default behaviour. If you disable it and there is nothing in the motd, it shows the default NodeBB motd. I agree it is a bit confusing.
-
@baris It never used to do that though. If it was disabled without any text it would not display anything. It does not do it with the Lavender theme but with the Vanilla and others based on Vanilla it does.

Update to https://github.com/designcreateplay/NodeBB/commit/639ebe9b71b7236c2a3593ce2b0cd0adc32a6e04 and let me know if it fixes it.

@baris That fixed it, thanks
