Is there a place to check common issues and troubleshooting? I checked the first page of the thread and a random spot-check of other pages and didn't see any. Hopefully I don't eat a hellban for asking.

(The post preview flashes incessantly, I'm assuming I'm not the only one who's had the problem).

Edit: Pixel 3 XL, Android 9. Though I'm pretty sure I was getting the same problem on my Moto G5+ not too long ago either.

That's the warning that you're about to make a bad post.

No you don't understand, it happens every time I post.

That's because it's a gif and therefore it gets replaced with a static preview. The problem is that the preview has a maximum resolution in either direction and the image is shrunk and blurred.
Just use "play gif" and it should be alright. The display image view is not really made for this I think. I'll see if I can replace it with a different library.

As for the post preview, I have no clue what is going on there :psyduck:
Looks like two different height calculations bouncing off another maybe.

The thing about the post preview window flashing is that the effect is from the window moving up and down incredibly fast. It wants to be at the top of the screen and middle of the screen and alternates between them at lightning speed.

I'm getting the same thing on a Pixel 3.

I posted about it earlier in the thread. Forget if it was back when I had my Moto G5+ or on my Pixel 3 now but it's the same either way.

I don't know how anyone could stand not having YouTube videos be embedded but I guess Reddit is pretty popular so what do I know.

Y'alls with the crazy flashing when you do a post preview, what version of Android are you on? (there's a version number if you go to About Phone in your settings)
also are you adding anything special in your posts, like video or tweet urls that get embedded? does it happen in particular threads or forums?

Android 9 right now but I'm sure it was on earlier versions because it's been happening for quite a while.

I get the flashing with simple text posts but it's most annoying when I have special stuff in the post because the preview is more important to see if my post will look okay.

Yeah it would probably need to be its own theme and it would need to trigger changes in theming the webview, the thing that provides colours would need to handle more than one set per theme... ehhhh don't bet on it

As far as notches go... doesn't it just split the status bar with the clock and notifications? I don't think any of us have Samsungs Galaxy so we've never looked at it

I have a Pixel 3 and apps don't go into the notch area. It's just the phone's status bar(s) like you said. The bottom of the notch is the top of the Awful App.

I was given a probation yesterday (voluntarily, but I don't think that matters) for six hours and the app helpfully had a banner at the top telling me when it would expire and initially it was correct in calculating the six-hour mark but whenever I went into the app after that it would show a time 24 hours later. The probation ended at the right time but the banner was way off. I didn't try logging in through my browser though so I'm not sure if it's an app thing or just an SA thing.

I changed the code on the forums-side to show your own local time instead of always showing CST. Is the app trying to itself convert it into another time zone?

Can you check to see if you have the correct time zone and daylight savings time settings in the edit options page in the browser?
https://forums.somethingawful.com/member.php?action=editoptions

The forums in the browser show the correct times, yeah. And my timezone/DST settings are right. That hasn't been an issue. The weird part about the error is that intially it was correct in terms of the remaining time left and the time on the clock that it would be done. It was only upon checking the app later did it start showing incorrect times.

Facebook even on third-party apps is still so loving bad for navigating and using. Like they want to keep everyone there AOL-style but they're so many times worse at it than AOL was, decades later and with countless $billions more at their disposal.

Yeah sorry, I seem to have skimmed like half a dozen posts and gleaned nothing from them. Impressive, really.

lol I love how hard it is to post an image on the internet in the year of our lord 2023

Related to this, I love how the wide world of GIFs have been turbofucked by Tenor, Pinterest, GetYarn, Giphy, etc.

Is it worth it when it's still gated?

I can confirm it's (not) happening. Either imgur changed something, or someone uploaded 1000 images through the app. I'll take a look later today.

To be honest I've seen some posts here and there that made me wonder if an image limit isn't a bad idea.
