I’m now on the latest commit level (105634435f). I upgrade Discourse about every week or so. Usually there are no issues at all. But now multiple theme components failed to load. With fail to load I mean the components do not show up anymore. The log feature in the admin panel does not show anything…

In addition, non-strict Javascript variable definitions like: xxx = 330; instead of var xxx = 330; will lead to JS “undefined variable” errors. We had to change all these in our scripts.

Can you elaborate a little more on what you mean by ‘initial format’? Do you mean you had local changes to the JS/CSS of the theme but now …

Does this also explain the problem with JS variable definitions? If so, how?

I don’t think this issue has to do with this reverted feature, I had the same case with a component a few weeks ago, probably around the fork indicator feature (which concern plugins so :roll_eyes: probably irrelevant too, but I just had to fork the component to modify things).
