Are there any EEVblog server app you'd like to see installed?

Hm, still bugs -- when I enable RTF and press Insert Quote on a post visible below, I get the error:
--- Code: ---Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading 'pasteHTML')
at smc_Editor.insertText (editor.js?fin20:625:15)
at onDocReceived (?action=post;num_replies=13:570:381)
at oMyDoc.onreadystatechange (script.js?fin20:88:19)
--- End code ---
Oh nice, editor.js is well formatted and even uses Hungarian notation.
Oh, go figure, registerDefaultShortcuts only works on Firefox ("if (is_ff) {..." (lines 1180-1190); the is_* globals appear to be binary flags for browser version, see script.js?fin20), that's why ALT+S doesn't work. :palm:
I don't see a reference to pasteHTML anywhere though... is it just completely not implemented??
Edit: also, it mangles the code tag when toggling modes.. doesn't look at all like the picture on the link?

Because the new SMF version has only the buggy editor we just tested.

No expert here, I've installed SMF long time ago and only played with it for a week or so. That's how I remember. After upgrade the WYSIWYG editor became the default and it was not possible to revert to the previous (previous == like the EEVblog editor from the last years).
If you want and if of any help, I can try to install again a SMF2.0 on a Raspberry Pi, just like I did back then, then put it online and upgrade it to the latest 2.1.xx version to double check how the upgrade behaves.
My kind advice would be to test the latest SMF on some other place than on this production EEVblog forum, for just in case. Also seen this in the release notes, old plugins might need to be reinstalled/reconfigured or become incompatible:
--- Quote ---If you are currently using any older version of SMF (including SMF 1.x, SMF 2.0.x, or one of the SMF 2.1 Betas or RCs), you can upgrade directly to 2.1.3 from whichever version you are currently using by using the "Large Upgrade" package from the Download page. Be aware that using this upgrade method will require you to reinstall any customizations that you have added to your forum, so if you are running SMF 2.1.0 or higher, it is recommended that you apply the successive patches instead of using the Large Upgrade.

I am not very sure what that means. My understanding is that when going from v2.0 to v2.1, any EEVblog customization will require to reinstall/reconfigure.
No idea if any of the bugs fixed by v2.1 are now a problem for EEVblog. Usually I push for don't fix what is not broken. I wouldn't dare to apply the upgrade on the production forum without testing the upgrade on a copy first. V2.1.3 is only a couple of months old, so it might have unknown bugs. Either way, I wish the best for the forum and for you, too.
Happy New 2023 Year, and a big thank you for keeping the EEVblog up and running, and for inspiring so many others to pursue electronics. :-+

Memories slowly come back. The editor you bought was at first free, then the plugin was removed from SMF repositories and became payed. The plugin is an open source project called SCEditor, and somebody packed it nicely together with some SMF install scripts, then sold it as a payed SMF plugin for SMF2.0, the one you bought.
However, starting from SMF2.1 the SCEditor (like the one you bought for SMF2.0) became now the default editor, for free of course. I've double checked my foggy memories, and indeed the editor change is mentioned in the SMF2.1 release:

Maybe it's actually better. Has anyone been on a forum that moved from 2.0 to 2.1?
