Hey, it looks like imgurs recent addition of mandatory ads while uploading has also broken the built in imgur function on the awful app. Maybe the api is different now, I didn't take a look. But trying to upload an img to imgur through the awful app just gives an error.

It broke for me when they first started the ads, but has worked fine since a few hours after that :confused:

Based on people's reports in this thread, it sounds related to (forum-side) AM/PM settings - it probably understands a probation time in the AM, but not PM.

Hey do you think it'd be possible to trim all the junk when you go to copy and share a Twitter link from the Android app?
twitter.com/Ad_Inifinitum/status/1338036825584267264?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1338036825584267264%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fforums.somethingawful.com%2F

For example this is what came out of doing a copy on a tweet in the pyf tweets thread and everything after the question mark is junk and it's irritating to trim it.

I think that's on the twitter embed side. If you open the link in twitter and then use the share action in there none of that crap comes across, though.

You use your phone's browser to post a thread or you make a pull request to the github repo that adds the ability to post threads with the app :v:

So I know pre and code running off the edge of the screen is one of the perennial issues. I just found this fun behavior:
C# code:
    public sealed class DoublesToTooltipConverter : IMultiValueConverter
    {
        public object Convert(object[] values, Type t, object parm, CultureInfo lang)
        {
            if (values.Length != 2 || values.Any(x => x == DependencyProperty.UnsetValue))
            {
                return null;
            }
            if (!(values[0] is double v1) || !(values[1] is double v2))
            {
                return null;
            }
            string p1 = Tools.Normalize(v1);
            string p2 = Tools.Normalize(v2);
            if (v2 == double.MaxValue)
            {
                return $"{p1} used";
            }
            return $"{p1} used out of {p2}";
        }

        public object[] ConvertBack(object value, Type[] t, object parm, CultureInfo lang)
        {
            throw new NotImplementedException();
        }
    }

I could only get it to slide a single character at a time.

Which if intended behavior, is actually a really loving funny troll.

If not, a fun test case.

It's extremely fiddly, but I can sometimes get it to scroll more if I do a slow diagonal swipe. But when I'm trying to scroll back to the start of the code block, it usually wants to take me out of the thread back to the list of threads.

Roger Baolong Thunder Dragon has been fascinated by this sophisticated and scientifically beautiful industry since childhood, and has shown his talent in the design and manufacture of watches.
I could only scroll a few pixels at a time, but disabling view swiping makes horizontal scrolling work fine.

I like view swiping though. Luckily, diagonal swiping is working for me too. Pixel 4 XL here.

So as far as I can tell, the problem is that the forums use the BBcode tag to determine the class, including case for some reason.
The app currently only recognizes code and not Code, so the scrolling hack does not work. This is something the app should be aware of I guess.

By the way, the styling only works with "code"

/e: and not in the app :v: If someone makes some styling suggestions for all current themes, I'm happy to add them

HTML classes are case sensitive, there's nothing strange about that. It isn't like b or B bold tags like someone said.

I know this is getting a bit outside of the app itself, but on my older phone (that I've deactivated and just use for browsing and stuff) the app doesn't recognize mp4 files for uploading to imgur, they're just grayed out and unselectable. I've updated the app and Chrome but that still happens. Just curious if there's something else obvious the app uses that I can update, no worries if it's something that'd take too much troubleshooting outside of it to figure out.

Looks like the av is messed up on the site; on desktop there's no image and the text reads:

quote:

<img alt="" border="0" src="https://fi.somethingawful.com/customtitles/title-side_burned.jpg" /><br />My mother is a fish.

That extra quote after alt= is probably what's doing it.

HTML avatars are kinda grandfathered in, when mods replace them we have to convert them to BBL code. If you see one of those avs you should PM Astral and he should be able to take care of it. If you can PM me a post by them in GBS I can do it.

I've fixed handful of them when I see them on the app.
