Since updating I can't get into the menu on individual posts to edit/quote. I was sent here from another thread to seek assistance. Any tips? Things I can try?

Edit: This was on a Galaxy S8, but updating Chrome seems to have resolved it for me.

I had that issue, and posted a few pages back about the Chrome update fixing it for me. I tend to keep wifi off, so my apps end up not updating as much. As to the header, clicking that would cause the post header/avatar to expand as normal. Clicking the '...' menu whether the header was expanded or not had no effect. It did not cause the header to expand for me. I had to tap in the header but not on the '...' menu for that to happen.

Likely I am just blind and stupid, but I don't see how to make a new thread using the Android app. Help?

No but seriously, where is the control for it supposed to be? I would expect to see the pencil icon that I get for "reply" in a thread view, but it's not there. If I navigate to a given forum I see no way to create a new thread. Should the pencil be there? Is there supposed to be an option in a menu?

I see you have forums plat, have you picked up AppPlat yet?

I don't know what that is, so no.

Edit: If that was a serious question, I don't see any app specific platinum upgrade in the app or on the website.

You guys are mean.

There is no way.

Thanks. Any particular reason for that decision?

It seems like an odd feature decision for a forum. Is it not readily supported by the forums API or something? Prone to abuse or misuse?

Threads posted from a phone would be unlikely to be good is the main reason, if I recall correctly.

Fair enough. So :justpost: from a computer

There's no API, the app just scrapes webpages as they're generated and presents them in a mobile-friendly format. The original reason was that threads posted from a phone aren't likely to be good, but now the reason is that it's a bunch of work to do and no one's done it and since this is an app made in a couple of people's spare time, that's a good enough reason.

To be clear, I'm a software consultant, so I'm asking from that perspective, not from the perspective of a disgruntled user. That's 100% a valid reason for the feature to not exist.

No, I revealed that I, too, did not read the first post when I asked on the last page. Folks rightfully had some fun at my expense as a result.

I'm a dumb android 12 user who this morning fat fingered my "choose how to share twitter link" to select Always in embedded Twitter and now I can't figure out how to undo that, to allow me to choose again my sharing destination.

Ideas?

This isn't an exact answer to your question, but it may help you find the thing you're looking for? https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/edit-clean-androids-share-menu-root-required/ If it's not there, it may be an option under the app specific settings in the apps screen.

Heh, the bug tracking tool sent me an email with the error message, it was easily googleable and the fix was trivial. If only all bugs were like that :v:

"Here, specific forum user with a very specific hardware setup and issue, try this custom apk I built for you."

That's service, whether the issue was minor or not!
