In particular you gotta swipe from the left edge of the screen, like in Apple's apps (vs Discord and Telegram etc where you can just start dragging rightwards from anywhere on the screen).

Now I’d love the option to be able to swipe a bit further back like Discord to move between pages.

on iPad I think you can swipe from the middle of the thread view? I forget somehow, even though I'm sure I've done it in the last 24 hours

Ah ha, this was it! Yes, being able to start the swipe from the not-edge would be optimal but at least I can get it to work now!

Hmm, I can’t load SAD’s thread list, though I can load the sub forum for resolved stuff. Works OK on the web site AFAICT.

I don’t get prompted to load a SAD thread when I have its URL in the clipboard.

Imgur is purging all old images as well as all porn and nudity next month.

I'm wondering if Awful will have to change how it uploads images?

Are they actually saying that anonymous uploads will no longer be possible?

I'm not sure I'm getting that from the blog post.

Deleting old content, yes, looks like, but it's open to intepretation what they mean by "old, unused, and inactive content that is not tied to a user account". Does it mean "has not been viewed for X months" or does it mean "posted more than X months ago", or what?

If a tech company is being cagey around it you can assume the answer is "whichever is most convenient for them in each instance," which we'll have little to no visibility into and is capricious.

I would expect anonymous imgur uploads to decay quickly and a possible return of image leeching = probe/ban rules of the aughts.

Jeff, Astral, and the other admins are simply saying stop using imgur immediately.

LPix is run by a goon, may work in the interim.

I wonder if if would be viable to get a list of Imgur links posted in the forums, scrape them, re-up elsewhere, and change the source posts to point there. I wonder how much storage that would be.

The idea is more that similar rules to those might be enacted for future imgur posting, sorry for being imprecise.

The current attachment system has the limitations it does because the attachments are literally stored in the database.

I’m sure it’s just an Imgur thing but I just came across this weirdness.

OP posts a video embed


It shows as broken in his post but plays fine when the person quoted it.

Second person quotes it and it’s broken





I tried to quote it and in the preview it plays fine?

Seems weird.

As a left-handed person on ios, may I humbly suggest that when someone accidentally presses the gold star next to the forums they like, that the app ask if they want to confirm removing it.

Cause it's driving me nuts having to re-add, then re-sort them. :smith:

Other issues:
- embedded YouTube videos hang after a couple seconds and won't continue playing (iPhone 11, iPad 9, iPad Pro M1)

- can't directly upload .heic photos from my iPhone 11, only with the iPads.

You're holding it wrong.

Edit: Alternately, the undo action could be right there instead of removing the star.

I’m right-handed but I wish the stars required long press or double click to toggle.

Long press would be great, since it implies intent.

Might as well bring this up again, I’m still not sure why forum pages are treated as infinite lists instead of pages like they are on the actual forums. I frequently get issues where I scroll down a forum and it refreshes at the bottom and a thread with new posts gets flinged to the top of the whole list so now I have to scroll all the way up to find that thread under so many pinned threads.

Also leper’s colony should have pages too like it does on the site. Not only does it take ages to load as it is, it’s a pain to have it scroll on and on instead of having pages like it does on the site.
