I broke stuff, then worked around it, and will probably break it again Soon™.

Perhaps you could run a test server locally and try the changes there first? ;]

It is interesting, this is actually due to me having the x-content-type-options nosniff header enabled. Apparently there was a change in the MIME types for some template files in 1.6.0. Having that header enabled is making most browsers reject the files (which is technically the proper behavior).

Ultimately it is a defect in NodeBB, but I have a workaround for now. Unfortunately the change requires me to disable CloudFlare and is taking a bit to propagate out.

If I wasn’t so lazy I’d have a dev server too :smiley:

Is NodeBB something anyone can install for free? Like, are you just paying for hosting or paying for the software itself too?

gord0 Just the hosting. NodeBB is free. I’d spin up a VM, but I am so lazy. SO SO SO LAZY

I was just thinking I could throw up an install on my webserver for testing stuff. Might look into it on the weekend.

Pretty much.

Ultimately I don’t think this is a big issue. Browsers are smart enough to sniff the MIME content and set it properly. I will fix it again some day.
