To add my two cents, little things I've noticed as far as the text editor's concerned but which nonetheless need not be resolved right now but it'd be nice to see fixed in the fullness of time nonetheless. (mind you, it very well could be that I'm an idiot who failed to notice the buttons or something 
)
'Tinymce' is my prefered poison, but, unlike xf1 it so far lacks:
-a dedicated emoji button containing all the smilies.
-a spoiler button, I have to write it in code each time [spoi... which is not that much of an inconenience but would be nice to see resolved someday.
-whenever I paste the link to an image, like say this
, unlike "Froala" it merely adds the image as was already said, and 'eats' the link. Whereas before I could paste the address--"https://image..."--and then insert the image with the dedicated button thus allowing people to both check out the image and the og link in case something went wrong down the line
-on the same vein but a smaller issue is linking youtube vids. In 'Froala' like xf1, I get the usual full vid when I paste a link. In 'Tiny' I get this
www.youtube.com
instead of the usual 'full' vid in the old version. Granted, this too is nice and if possible I'd like the option to chose between the two as needed.
-Whenever time permits and more important issues have been dealt with it'd be nice to see the return of spell-check in 'Tiny'. Over the years I've grown very reliant on the little bugger and its absence is sorely missed. You'd expect better from a writer but my grammar is...less than impressive without it around :xD
-whenever I highlight a word in editor mode and then right click, unlike before where I had access to the full right click range, 'google search etc' now it only offers the choice to place a link in it. Works normaly in preview mode.
Anyway as I said, problems of little import over all, naught but growing pains in truth. Here's to another decade of degeneracy!

Quotes people have posted isn't scaled with Change Text Font.
Chapter threadmarks and threadmark title aren't scaled with Change Text Font. I think I mentioned the threadmark title earlier and it was said to be fixed but somehow its still the same problem from my end.
Media like a YT link is also not scaled. Them same with Like, Edit, Delete, +Quote, Reply and Report in posts.
Likewise with page number in the thread, thread title, thread author, thread date. Unsure what should be scaled but I will mention it just in case. I don't know what its called but "Forums > Announcements and Rules > Suggestions & Bugs" doesn't scale either.
This text what I'm writing right now in this box and its tools isn't scaled either.

I commented on this in this post. It affects some themes, but not all. It can be fixed with a userstyle (see linked post). I'm not sure if they're making any effort to adjust it on the backend. Admin hasn't posted in this thread in a while.

Thank you for your reply. My info was posted using Blackened Green. So is it only default option that have it fixed without an userstyle fix?

From what I can tell, the Light and Dark themes scale fonts appropriately, while the Default, Blackened (all variants), and Lightened themes have fixed font sizes that don't respect the overall site font size.

So for Twitter media embeds, is it just me or is it stuck on a perpetual white screen with the words loading written on it or does it actually show up for anyone else? I seem to recall it working just fine back when XF2 was newly implemented for me but slowly every Twitter post embedded into QQ is just a white block.

It might be because you hadn't posted yet, that's been an issue for a number of things. Have you checked since?

@alethiophile did you miss this? It really does make it quite a bit harder to search due to the variable displacement of the "By:" box by (nearly-always-irrelevant) suggestion results (sometimes it's large enough to kick the actual "search" button into an internal scroll-down, too).

I don't have a lightning Bolt icon, it is just a small and thin blank space between two 'buttons'.
I am using the dark mode if that helps.

I'm on the default theme, and I don't have it either.

Just checked all the themes. There's nothing there. Whatever that lightning bolt is, it's being causes by something on your end, not QQ's.

I'm finding myself using qq a lot less since this update, and I think I've realized why.
I read fics and quests mostly on my phone, and the mobile site doesn't show the number pages in a thread when I'm browsing for something new.
Might see like nothing, but I've realized my brain was kind of subconciously using that to make some sort of ratio to the story length to work out if something was worth reading, and now scanning a page of threads has much less sticking out to me.
Guess I might be able to get used to it, but number of posts which is shown isn't something I find myself really able to conceptualise as how big the thread is.

It's only there on Mobile sizes.
Turn your phone sideways and it might disappear, but that probably defeats the purpose since you don't lack navbar space when your phone is sideways.

*checks* It's only visible on mobile phone, and only in Portrait mode. Tapping it will take you to 'What's New' (same as on the navbar). You can basically get the same functionality by tapping the three horizontal bars at the left end of the navbar and selecting what you want from 'What's New'. IOW, the lightning-bolt icon is largely useless unless you consider the ability to check What's New (set to the last 100 new posts) in one tap as substantially more important to your browsing experience than doing so in two taps.
Turn your phone sideways to Landscape mode to see pages.
(That or learn to divide Replies by 30 (or whatever you've set in Preferences, because you can adjust that now) to figure how many pages there are.

As an aside, the lightning bolt is one of the least-necessary quick links on the UI.
It's kinda weird how often that link appears for mobile users:
Honestly don't understand why it needs to appear in 4 places.

If you're looking at Preferences, there's no specific preference re. Threadmarks.
If you're looking at New Threadmarks under Forums on the navbar, play around some with the filters and make sure you're Watching the threads in question.

No, I'm looking at my alerts menu and they don't pop up but I can see that there are new threadmarks in my watched threads via a different menu, I just don't get the alerts for them.

Maybe XenForo devs think mobile users obsessively check for new content (this is, at least directionally, correct).As an aside, the lightning bolt is one of the least-necessary quick links on the UI.
