Is Vanilla ever going to fix these forums?

The Drafts page has been bugged over a year and a poster even gave them a quick 5 minute fix.
It's been weeks since the icons have been invisible.

I know it's Vanilla that needs to fix these but are there any updates?

    Top bar, icons next to the thread title are a few examples, plus the unusually large emojis and the "Post Reply" button

    From what I see when hovering over - an inbox icon, bookmarks and Account Options, all missing.
    Obviously more are likely missing on the profile page, haven't had a look though.

    It was MEEEEEEEE! And I honestly cannot believe they still haven't taken out the aberrant [/DIV].

    The vanishing icons are just next level WTAF?! I kept mine for the longest time and then one day poof they were gone.

    It's beyond frustrating that they haven't fixed Drafts for a year when you even supplied the solution!

    We have been in contact with Vanilla regarding ways to figure out some of the issues that have come up. We have resolved some, but others are taking more time to fix. We are still working with them for solutions to the invisible icons and other issues.

    We did pass along the proposed drafts fix to Vanilla, but they have not done anything with that.

    Hello Kevin,

    As someone who deals with contracts and out-sourcing of services please take it from someone who does this for a living - stop paying them. Surely there is a clause in the contract to remedy failure to perform said contract?!

    Start shopping around for a new provider, and do the ultimate in boss mechanics - unblockable, undodgeable, unmitigateable - send in the lawyers!

    My top page icons are still there, but the icons next to my posts, like the edit post button, are no longer there. I did find out that they are just invisible and still there, I just need to hover my mouse over where they should be when I'm on the computer, until I find it. Mobile looks fine though.

    I mean I'm not an expert for IT things, but how hard can it be for a company that's specialized in these things to fix these issues within a year?

    Either ZOS doesn't pay em much or Vanilla doesn't care regardless of what ZOS is paying them.

    Would be hilarious if they use AI customer support

    Oh, you can join the club and make them invisible with this One Easy Trick! Hold down the [Shift] key while clicking the reload button.

    The reason you're still seeing them is because the icons come from a file on Vanilla's servers, and that file has gone missing. But if that file is still in your browser's cache (static assets like these have very long cache expiration times), then your browser will continue to display the icons as if nothing had gone wrong. But if you Shift-Reload, you're telling the browser to ignore the cache, and your browser will then see that the file is actually missing.


    But, seriously, WTF is going on at Vanilla?! A file that's gone missing should not be hard to fix. Yet it's been broken for weeks. They're a paid service, but they're behaving worse than amateurs. Did they fire all their devs and replace them with AI slop generators?

    Edit: Okay, so I did a little bit of research; Vanilla started out as an open-source project in 2006. It was bought up by private equity in 2021, which later killed the open source project in 2025. And the latest news item on the website of the company that now runs Vanilla is a buzzword-laden thing touting AI features. Yea, I think I can draw some conclusions about what happened to Vanilla. LOL.
