I use this for gif uploads https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/bd02e709ea6f48a28a0d7602a2f32b78 And this for still image uploads https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/a84db75784ff4e88945e5d561ed94039 Maybe these could go in the op

We're also at the end of the month and I have no idea what causes imgur to rate limit us so maybe that's implicated somehow?? It feels like Apple ought to have provided an API to convert an image from HEIC to JPEG but I have done 0 research into this.

I think iOS converts to JPEG if you go through the share sheet, but we obviously don’t. I don’t see a HEIC-to-JPEG path in a quick API search, but that can’t be right, can it? E: it’s not right, there’s code:It’s also weird that imgur doesn’t take HEIC and do something with it, as I think about it. Subjunctive fucked around with this message at 18:12 on Dec 28, 2020 |

There's a setting in photos that tells it to convert to JPG when transferring to a PC. By default it's on. Maybe it affects the imgur thing too somehow. Imgur definitely doesn't accept heic

I'm guessing this is just my old phone on its way out, but here's something that's only happened to me while using Awful; I'll be reading a thread and have about 25-29% battery left, slowly but steadily ticking down as I read. Then at some point, usually after switching to a new page, my phone freezes for a few seconds, screen goes black, I get the pinwheel and it goes into a boot loop. Once I plug it in to charge it wakes up normally with 10% battery left and starts charging, after which it's fine again until I get to reading Awful with my battery in the 20-something percent range. I haven't had any other app do this so far. I know Awful isn't gentle on the battery but I don't think it's doing this since it's a pretty recent issue but I'm still curious why this might be happening beyond my phone (OG SE) just being too old.

Do you recall Apple had that big controversy about throttling iPhones that had diminished battery capacity? They actually did that to avoid the situation you described. If the phone battery is low-ish, and the processor requests too much power, it can shut down even though it’s not at 0%. So maybe check if you have throttling disabled in Battery Health?

I do remember that, yeah, but there's no setting for it that I can find, just optimized charging. I may have found another culprit looking at usage by app because my COVID exposure notification app is at 88% compared to Awful (my most actively used app) which sits at 3% in comparison.  Should see about disabling it while I'm not out I guess. Maybe it doesn't play well with something as demanding on this phone as Awful.

Jeez, is that COVID app tracking location 100% of the time or something? I’ve never had any app come even close to the battery usage of Awful. But that’s because I’m sitting on these dead forums all day long.

It's mostly just "blast a bluetooth signal to connect to other apps around me to exchange keys so they get an alert that they've been near me if I tell the app that I have symptoms and vice versa." It's not terribly elegant and a total battery fucker, so you're not far off. Tetramin posted:Jeez, is that COVID app tracking location 100% of the time or something? I’ve never had any app come even close to the battery usage of Awful. But that’s because I’m sitting on these dead forums all day long. It doesn't track location or hold any other info, it relies on you telling it you're sick so it can send a thing to other peoples' apps that whoops, someone possibly killed you so isolate asap.

I mean, post page loads are by far the most CPU intensive operation the app can do, especially when cspammers have been emptyquoting massive tweet dumps for the whole page. Probably at that moment the CPU requires more watts than the battery can provide and things break down.

Yeah it's usually either the Schadenfreude thread with it's huge gifs and mp4's or the Trump lol thread that has a billion tweets per page so it certainly tracks. I'll keep an eye on it and how it behaves with the COVID app switched off as this started around the time I installed it so I figure having it on in the background while Awful beats the CPU probably drains the hell out of the battery.

Probably badly paraphrasing pokeyman's explanation, there was something about them that either would have or did cause an App Store rejection (?) that wasn't trivial to fix, so they were removed. We do want to get them added back in but it's not going to be trivial. Sorry about the confusion!

Small bug: latest ipad pro, ios 14.2 (also observed on older os versions) 1. Open a thread 2. Open another app in multitask mode, so the awful interface reverts to phone-like (root tabbar screen is the bottom of the nav stack instead of a slide-over view on the left) 3. Drag the multitask border over, restoring awful to fullscreen The thread title in the nav bar will be blank when this is done

I don't actually use the drafts feature at all but reading about other people using it made me think: when there is a saved draft, change the pencil icon for posting to also have a piece of paper or an asterisk or something similar. On the other hand, if backing out of a thread discards a draft, pop up a bottom balloon with "Keep Draft" that reopens the in-progress draft. My reference point here is what Outlook does when you delete a message or back out of a draft, but I don't know if that is a native iOS behavior or some custom thing Outlook does.

I would rather the app just auto saved drafts as long as I’m in a thread. I don’t like the extra touch to confirm whether I want to keep or delete.

Not the end of the world but the use of the term “Mark” for two different features confuses me no matter how many times I see this  Maybe change the bookmark toggle to “Bookmark” and “Delete” (“Delete” is the label from the unbookmark action if you swipe left from the bookmark on the list of bookmarks) and change “Mark” to “Mark Unread”? App is fantastic - thanks for the great work Cat Hassler fucked around with this message at 04:12 on Jan 5, 2021 |

Keith Atherton posted:Not the end of the world but the use of the term “Mark” for two different features confuses me no matter how many times I see this The eye icons should be Read / Unread I think. Part of the problem is it actually is called 'Mark Read' but the word read drops down to the next line and disappears. Get rid of the word mark. Delete instead of unmark is a good idea.

Awful 5.4, iOS 14.3 Occasionally when returning to control panel from a thread via the back arrow button, the thread i was just reading will have its title replaced with “The Something Awful Forums”. This persists until I go to another thread and back out. I haven’t seen it happen twice in a row yet. I didn’t notice it until after the most recent app update.

Keith Atherton posted:Not the end of the world but the use of the term “Mark” for two different features confuses me no matter how many times I see this I think the proper solution is moving from a pop up like that to a standard list of actions. Even though I was all for the popover because in theory it’s closer to the item you just tapped, it’s not as critical on a phone. We’ve had some mock-ups for a list where you can have longer text labels but I don’t have them at the moment. Ideally the text labels are verbs. The short term fix is probably more like scaling down those icons and increasing the padding on the pop-up. I don’t think having two buttons that start with the word mark is necessarily wrong or bad, but the label being cut off is.

Hm I just ran into that imgur exception trying to upload an image I saved from google images. First time that’s happened to me, weird. I don’t have the Imgur app so I can’t upload anything there easily outside of Awful, but maybe the google image saving is a weird format?

I personally would support the idea of switching to standard iOS context menus, which should allow for longer, more descriptive labels.

I'm not the OP but I'd love to have my bookmark colors mean anything, like the ability to group bookmarks by different colored stars, or see all bookmarks of just one color, etc. What do bookmark colors even do on the website anyway?

(Or maybe that's actually possible and I just don't understand how to use them.) If you have the 'Colorize threads according to the bookmark category I've assigned' forum option enabled, it highlights the whole thread in thread lists rather than the only difference being the star color. This lets you (barring exceptional circumstances) easily differentiate between your different-colored bookmarks. My impression of the whole thing was that you could assign whatever meaning you want to the different colors. Maybe one color represents a forum a thread came from; maybe it marks threads as "I'd like to read these first". Maybe it means something completely different.
