If you didn't already, you should make sure you can access the forums through a regular web browser on the phone as a good first troubleshooting step.

I have a problem with Search This Thread frequently that never returns results

Example


Proof the text exists


What shows up when I put the word in the mobile chrome "search this thread" text box


Link to page containing the word

I tried clicking it, writing it in, then clicking it, erasing the space, write it in. I repeated this 3 times over 10 minutes, with retries after attempt 1 and 2.

I also see this constantly, with or without quote marks in the search, to the point that I just mostly end up using it to copy the thread ID for browser searches.

I was going to say it doesn't work for me either but I think it may be a platinum only feature? Although I guess aard varkman probably has that. Oh is that what the grenade means? Nm then.

I think the entire search this thread feature has been broken for like a year but when I'm using it I always just need an answer and throw it in chrome instead and forget about it lol

I have had the search issue, Android 12 on a Galaxy S20+. Language must be US English I guess. Changing the theme and back again does seem to have fixed it too.

i just found a minor bug while i was looking for my post explaining what i did last time with the search

can reproduce by picking the view posts by this user and then sliding back to the bookmarks page instead of using the back gesture

Android 11/English for me, although I can duplicate that search. I know it has sporadically worked for me in the past, but I don't *think* I've changed themes or anything since the last few times I noticed it not working though.

Thank you all for the info! I might have found something.

Currently, if a search produces only a single page of results, there is no "Last" button that it can scrape information from, and it treats the search as if it found no results. In the thread above, now that "wesker" appears >10 times in the thread, it has two pages of results and works fine.

So! Until someone can produce a patch, I guess be less discriminating in your search phrasing, or spam the thread you're searching with a minimum of 10 posts containing your search terms to guarantee success :clint:

Obscure searches failing would explain a lot. It does seem more likely to fail the more information you put in

Is this the feature request thread too? Folding phone main screens have an aspect ratio of around 2:3, can we get a setting to force a maximum image/video embed size, maybe based on a percentage of the viewport height? Videos frequently end up with a bad cropped zoomed-in effect

Feature Request

I know making polls show up in the app is probably a gigantic pain in the rear end, so as nice as that'd be, I'm not asking for that.

But, would it be possible to make an indication somewhere that there IS a poll that we can't see?

I symbol, a color coded OP, whatever. Then we could look at a browser if we care.

Love the app, you folks are amazing. Thank you!

Ask me about fixed-gear bikes (aka "fixies")
The vast, vast majority of the time this app Just Works and I'm incredibly grateful, but sometimes with random threads it just will fail at loading the next page. One that seems to fail for three pages in a row is the gbs trump thread, the three most recent pages. I can't really view the thread until *whatever* some idiot did isn't in the page. I assume there's no fix possible because of how nebulous this is, but I'd love to know why poo poo goes sideways.

I went through 12/13/14 and I don't see any unusual media across all 3. More YouTube videos than usual, but not on 14, and someone embedded an image from Steam on one page, but only that page. Try disabling embed options maybe?

(On 14 at the time of this post the only media is a single quote of an imgur embedded still image)

Out of the icon packs I have-
Bolt, Borealis, LineX, Lotus, Minimalist, Nexa, Outline Icons, Pixel Pie Dark, Pixel Pie, Verticons icon pack. Some of these I have to manually apply, I assume because the app is somehow cursed. I usually use a Plague Inc icon if the pack doesn't have anything appropriate.

Make sure you are on the newest version, there was some issue with ignored users a couple of months back.

I'm on Google Fi, and I noticed I was using more than 2GB of data for a few months in a row. I checked data usage and the biggest culprit was Instagram, so I looked at it a lot less when off wifi (plus I unfollowed a bunch of useless accounts).

I'm already over 2GB this month and the cycle still has a few more days. Guess which app is the biggest culprit this time :frogsiren:
