Going to go out on a limb and say bsky embeds not working - like twitter embeds = are the fault of the host and not the app.

Now the scene's lighting is perfect!
Very minor stuff:

Sometimes when I touch/click a thread, or when I click on a forum the next appearing "page" (forum content or list of subforums or list of threads) is scrolled to the middle of the page, sometimes to the bottom of the page. Would be nice to make sure I start at the top.

Bookmarking a thread should give a message like when it tells me there is a new announcement ("thread bookmarked!"). That would be better than not reacting at all imho.

Sometimes when I touch the arrow showing the next page of a thread I twitch or my finger is too close to the glass and I accidentally touch it twice, resulting in me skipping forward a page. Would be nice if the App would not accept new inputs once I signal that I want to forward/backward one page until the next page is loaded.

But like I said, very minor stuff and possibly related to my phone and myself. You do God's work. Thanks.

This might be user error, but are there known issues displaying all of your PMs in the app? I was looking for an old message of mine, but the messages listed in the app cut off a few years ago, when I know (and verified) that I have older ones. Oddly enough, that's a bit over 100 messages listed here, while looking at them in a browser apparently only loads 50 without further user input, so it doesn't seem to be related to that. I also can't pull to refresh like when you're looking at search results, or figure out how to load more messages any other way.

Added some changes to how the app handles cookies because it was doing weird things and Astral asked us to stop.
It's in an outgoing beta that should hit your device sometime between me writing this post and three weeks from now.

If you notice any adverse effects (like getting logged out), please mention it here.

I think this is (was) because the app is keeping track of PMs it saw in the past but also only refreshed that last 50 PMs. So if you manage to keep your phone long enough you will see more PMs than the default forum page but less than the full forum page.
Added a way to load them all in the beta above.

This is a very small thing, but is it possible to change the behavior of the "Post Marked" box that pops up in front of everything after marking a post as last read? It sits on the screen for 6 seconds, regardless of how you've interacted with the app since marking a post as read, which is 4+ seconds too long imho. Within that time I've already navigated to a new thread or started typing a reply and have to wait for that dang thing to get off my screen. It's not the end of the world or anything, it just annoys me so I finally decided to complain.
I changed it down for most of these from 3.5 to 2 seconds. Without adding hacky things on top, that's as low as it will go

Hello, I've used this awful app for many years and enjoy it thoroughly.

Here's a feature request that would be cool and good: a "Recently viewed threads" list, just stored locally on device. Doesn't need to be anything fancy, just a simple list ordered by most recent thread you were looking at while taking a dump.

Love you

I hadn't thought to check on my old phone, but sure enough, its PMs went back a few years further.

My awful app is crashing. Worked fine last night, but now it's flashing up the splash screen and immediately quitting. Tried opting out of beta and reinstalling and rebooting but no change. Android is no help, just says "this app has a bug".

Any ideas?

Out of curiosity, how long do these things normally take to go through to live in the play store when you send a fix like that?

Funny you ask, the one that broke things went through in 40 minutes, the fix is still waiting. The one before that waited for 4 days, the one before for 20 minutes.

Weird. I wonder if it's just luck of how many other apps are in queue or what

it's funny because if you work on Real Apps the way you do it is you upload the new version and then mail a guy at Google and Apple and they manually bump your priority up each time (and then you still wait a mystery amount of time and get rejected for bullshit reasons)

Yea the app started bugging for me today. Uninstall didn't help but clearing the cache and app data did.

Am I just getting old or has the font changed for the actual forums list and in the app? Looks different to me but then again, I'm not the most stable person.

If you cleared your data you've probably forgotten that you once changed the font in the app settings

After getting the update that fixed the crashes, when I post a reply in a thread, it redirects me to page 1 rather than to the page with the reply. Then the reply sits as an unread post in the forum overview / used panel.

E: Search appears to be busted too, strange

E2: Nvm, clearing all app data, not just cache helped
