I'm getting this error when trying to upload a photo from my library: I made sure to turn off Live Photo, but that didn't matter. Also, is there a way to stop the app prompting me to "save or delete my draft" whenever I try to exit from posting? I NEVER want to save. Thanks.

UI request: You know how we can change the colour of our unread bookmark numbers by assigning different coloured stars to threads? Can we make the blue star match the blue used in the selected theme in the app? The default (unbookmarked) colour for read threads could be the mid grey used on the 'Killed by...' test. Another idea I had was to double the amount of posts per page to 80. This would be good for offline browsing and just easier browsing in general imo. Just as a toggleable option? A dolphin can dream.

Okay, I grabbed the Shortcut Marcus SA linked to, could you give me a step-by-step of how to use it? I haven't used any Shortcuts before.

Note that "saving" a draft post/edit within an Awful app thread merely means that you can tap the pencil icon to reopen that draft as it was when you closed it, or quote a post to insert its quoted text in the current draft; none of these drafts are saved longterm in any kind of Drafts folder. If you leave the thread and open a new one, any old draft is deleted with no confirmation required. (Any devs plz correct me here if I've gotten the model wrong, thx!)

I didn't know you could swipe down to cancel a post, I thought you had to hit the "Cancel" button :-p However. If I decide I don't want to use the quoted post I selected, but I decide I still want to post, or I want to use a different quoted post, what then? It automatically inserts the fucker unless I leave the thread and come back first. That's dumb. At the very least, I would prefer the option to auto-delete instead of auto-save when I swipe down to cancel.

I also can't find any way to undo a cancellation. The only two options are save and discard, there's no "return to post" other than the long way round (save then post again).

https://support.apple.com/guide/shortcuts/enable-shared-shortcuts-apdfeb05586f/ios The last "note" is important -- you might need to run some other shortcut first to get the setting. There's a built-in one that just shows you the last 5 screenshots you've taken. Give it access to your photos then click the play button. I think that should count.

If it's an image that's also a link, you should be able to long-press it and choose "Copy Image URL". If it's just a plain old link, you can tap it to open it in your browser, then tap the Share button and choose "Copy". If none of that's working, holler back! Josh Lyman posted:I’m in the latest app version 5.3 and iOS 14.1 on a XS. For a couple weeks now, I’ve been unable to post photos. Mine are stored High Efficiency. I’m not sure if this coincided with my update to 14.1 from iOS 13. Screenshots seem to work since I was able to show the error here. Looks like maybe I'm not saving the photo in the right format. I'll take a look. Boris Galerkin posted:Would it be possible/difficult to block tweets from specific users from rendering similar to the ignore user feature? I’m tired of seeing people post this @dril person in D&D. Probably not. arbybaconator posted:Just chiming in to say that this app is very good and I have been using it daily for several years. Thanks and same! Disappointing Pie posted:Same. Been using it for nearly as long as it's been around. I feel guilty I'm in the TestFlight but I never report anything, but honestly maybe that's because it's generally rock solid for me. I infinitely prefer using the app over the actual website. Don't feel guilty! TestFlight is largely a sanity check for me, as I'm pretty bad at testing configurations I don't tend to use, but as history teaches us even the most irrelevant-seeming options in the control panel can conspire for pain. If there's nothing to report, that's great! C2C - 2.0 posted:Ran into an issue this morning. iPhone 11, iOS 14.2 Well that doesn't sound great. Can you link the post? Also, and this could be just me being pedantic, when you say the app minimized and then reopened on the forums list, that sounds like a crash to me? What distinguished it from a crash? Xenomrph posted:Should I be able to upload/embed pictures into posts right from the app? Because for the life of me that feature hasn't worked in a long time. Yes, but it breaks often, isn't much fun to work on, and I rarely use it myself, so it's usually in some state of disrepair. I'll +1 the issue though  Warbird posted:Bit of a weird ask, but would it be possible to have Twitter video embeds gracefully transition from portrait to landscape while playing instead of kicking you back out to the forum? I know Twitter stuff can be weird because Twitter. I can try, but my hopes aren't very high. And while it's a weird ask you aren't the only one! astral posted:devs: Thanks!

Posts-per-page is on the list, but a bunch of stuff currently assumes 40 posts per page, so we'd have to untangle that before changing it.

EL BROMANCE posted:Weird, XR here and I’ve never been to that thread before and everything loaded pretty much instantly for me. I will add that it does seem to be hit-or-miss for me even on pages with a ton of Twitter embeds. Having only followed this thread for the last few pages i anecdotally will also say that “app hopping” does seem to exacerbate the issue, but I can’t empirically confirm that. I will definitely say that the longer I read that thread the worse the issue has gotten, so I’m not sure if there’s some caching issue happening. Perhaps semi related there was some conflagration of stickied threads in that forum recently that caused my view of it in the app to become a random mashup of stickied threads and actual new updated ones about a month ago that was only resolved by deleting the app and then reinstalling it, but I cannot honestly remember if this was an issue before or not. I also would add that this doesn’t seem to just be an issue on Twitter heavy threads, but I have also had issues scrolling past just embedded images. I want to say that this may have only become a real issue since I enabled experimental features in my user CP? I’m not sure how to best provide data for this, but I’m willing to grab whatever would help. I’ve definitely enjoyed this app more than enough to try to be of whatever assistance I can!

I got a crash when I tried to open Leper’s Colony. I can browse it now, but I’m guessing it might have to do with YouTube embeds in probation/ban reasons? This is what I see in app. Opening a browser window shows there are actually YouTube links.

gonna ask here before perhaps bringing it up in QCS, but is the lowtax thread tag pulled directly from the forums themselves and as such is something active on both parts, or is it something that remains in the app? it would be nice if that disappeared now that he is gone

What’s the deal with Twitter? A lot of the time tweets load like in the screenshot below. But then later on the same page (or after a reload) the tweets embed as expected. Is this an Awful app problem? By the way, Awful app is anything but. Please keep up the good work.

Twitter’s API is a dumpster fire and causes all kinds of dumb errors and race conditions all the time. If tweets aren’t embedding right it’s 99% likely to be Twitter’s problem not SA or the app.

Another observation about Twitter: the media in this tweet (a cringe-inducing snippet of Ready Player Two) has been DMCA'd, but I can still view it embedded in the Awful app. The Twitter app itself blocks it. https://twitter.com/thelindsayellis/status/1331655456691867648?s=21

If you viewed it before it was taken down it’s probably just cached. It doesn’t show up for me in the app, likely because I never saw that tweet before.
