It'd be better the other way, if every setting except for it disappeared.

I've had mystery switches in houses and apartments I've rented before and I always enjoyed the tiny bit of fear that I was about to make a serious mistake every time I flipped them

I don't 100% remember but I think this is the way the iOS Awful app handles it. It's been a while since I've used it though.

also on the link menu thing, not promising it will be changed but would people prefer tap = open it, long-tap = menu? That's how it works in things like browsers...

In browsers, you're already in the browser, so it's not much of a context switch.

In Awful, on the other hand, opening a link whisks you away from the page you're viewing and into another app. Personally, I like having the menu on easy access, since I'm about as likely to copy-paste or share (to a notes app) as I am to just click the link, and it's not especially disruptive if I accidentally tap a link.

The links are also usually abbreviated, and I like to click once just to see a fuller URL and gauge how interested I actually am to click through.

Apologies if this has come up before, but when pulling up to refresh the page, the app automatically skips to the next page if there is one, even if there are a bunch of unread posts on the current page (mostly an issue on the really fast moving threads in DnD and the like). It'd be good if it could check whether to refresh the page or load the next one instead of just going straight to the next page, if that's possible.

That exists under device and navigation in the settings. :cheerdoge:

Except that disables pull-to-refresh entirely, and I believe tapping the button instead will have the same behavior.

Hrm, shouldn't usually happen but I can see how it might. Normally it refreshes if you're on the last page, or turns if you're not - and if you're not on the last page then you must be looking at a full page of posts

But the info about the current thread can update even if you don't refresh the page, so you can end up looking at a page that isn't the last one anymore, that doesn't have a full page of posts

Can probably just set the behaviour when the page loads instead of when you pull the thing, that should make it consistent with what you're looking at. Thanks!

e- the buttons should act fine, it's just the pull-to-refresh thing acts as either the next page button or the refresh button depending on which page you're on. I'll check though

Oh nvm what I said then guess I was mistaken. I don't pull or use the button much, I just read to the end then go back to bookmarks and if there are more posts I'll find out that way.

I use 20 posts per page on the app but whenever I click to another post from via a link it loads the page number as if it were 40 posts/page.

So what this means is if anyone links to a post in another thread I have to double the page number it sends me to and hunt around for the post, or whatever I guess is the post based on context.

Is there a solution for this? I suppose I can just go back to 40 posts per page but it kind of defeats the purpose of having an option.

Are you using 20 posts per page on the site too? (Is that new? Thought it used to always be 30 or 40, maybe that's why it works for people)

Basically some of the links are a "go to this post ID" format which relies on the site redirecting you to another URL with the correct page, according to your posts-per-page setting on the site. If the app is set to a different value then they're gonna fight, things are gonna be inconsistent - it's old and should probably be reworked really, like scraping your setting from the site and not allowing you to set it in the app itself

Interesting. I only use 20 per page on the app, so I guess that explains it. Thanks!

So I updated to the latest version recently on my Samsung S8+ (unmodified) and it's been crashing consistently ever since. It happens after some time viewing posts and tapping to show the list of options for a post is guaranteed to crash it.

Anyone else suffering the same? I don't think this phone's uniquely set up or anything...

I have the same phone and it's fine for me. Update as above, or possibly uninstall and clear all data - that solved a weird issue I had once.

Is there a place to check common issues and troubleshooting? I checked the first page of the thread and a random spot-check of other pages and didn't see any. Hopefully I don't eat a hellban for asking.

(The post preview flashes incessantly, I'm assuming I'm not the only one who's had the problem).

Edit: Pixel 3 XL, Android 9. Though I'm pretty sure I was getting the same problem on my Moto G5+ not too long ago either.

Why does copying a twitter URL from the app carry a bunch of poo poo metadata, but copying a twitter URL from the site doesn't?
