Ah, fair enough. I haven't seen that but just wanted to make sure they weren't misunderstanding the feature

AFAIK Pokeyman and CommieKong are squashing the final bugs before it goes into wider beta, the last update I see was from 11 days ago so it's still going but there's just that last hurdle to go. I can't wait for it to be released!

My understanding is that is why pokeyman was added as a forum IK in project.log, and if someone else needs to be a thread IK in an apps forum thread to see/test buttons that's not a big deal either.

Uhhh let me be clear. If you like your theme, you can keep it! (These are additional themes)

I'm curious about how quickly I parse the bookmarks without the icons, the hierarchy looks a bit muddled but anything like this deserves a proper testing period so the feedback is valid and not just commentary on needing new muscle memory. While the theming aspect makes things safer to roll out, you don't want to end up in a scenario where only one theme is getting quality of life upgrades and you need knowledge of this thread to know which themes offer what. EDIT: Assuming some sort of badge or tagging is used for buy/sell or ask/tell thread marking? The Dave fucked around with this message at 01:24 on May 6, 2022 |

It’s interesting to see what people focus on. The avs have been normal to me now for ages and going back to the the old app theme makes the old scale look very tiny in comparison. Especially compared to the actual website avatar scale. The vertical space taken up by a taller av is offset by the space saved by combining the post divider line with the post date. Anyway, looking at the videos I posted earlier and using the app are pretty different experiences I’d imagine. There are so many features and tweaks across the new theme it’ll take some time to get used to it and actually determine if you think something is worse off or if it’s just not what you’re used to.

It could save even more vertical space by also not having comically giant avs between every single post though. I have a giant-rear end phone so it’s not like I’m working with restricted screen real estate, I just prefer a more compact/“dense” experience I guess.

The primary goal is to make the av larger so you can see it easier and have the app experience more closely approximate the actual forum experience. Most of us have larger phones now but that doesn’t mean we should jam information into every nook and cranny of the extra screen real estate just because we can. This solution gives us a clearer look at the content of the forums at a glance without sacrifice to the overall size of the posts.

It's not a proper redesign unless there are dozens of toggles in the settings that allow weirdos to put everything back to the way it is right now.

The Something Awful crowd is a fickle bunch and given the age of most memberships many people have their own bespoke ways of navigating the forums. It's near-impossible to get a valid group consensus, sometimes a vocal minority can push an opinion, but I think one assumption is the main focus is the content of posts and how efficiently you can react / interact with those posts. Depending on what was popular when you joined the forums, which forums you frequent, all shape your preferences and it's extremely varied. For example I also don't care about seeing avatars in greater detail (which is why we made them so large on the user profile, because it's appropriate there), and say I don't care at all about gang tags. Just personal preference, doesn't mean anything. I'm also very much against a massive wall of adjustable settings though, so you end up needing to find the goldilocks design solution if that's the balance you're trying to strike. But again, this is the benefit of testing and testflight. Looking at screenshots or video captures won't give a sense for what feels good or natural, but using it for a few weeks and being able to report back probably gets you closer to what it 'should' be. ( I also really hate that god drat frog but kudos on the quality of the animation. )

Recently Awful has started opening YouTube videos in Safari instead of the YT app as I have set in Settings. I tried toggling the setting, all I can get it to do is switch between the Awful browser and Safari. Wracking my brain to think of anything else that might’ve changed. Any ideas? E: I just tested a long press of a YouTube link and even when I choose Open in YouTube it still switches to Safari. Weird. Lordshmee fucked around with this message at 00:34 on May 10, 2022 |

It’s been that way for a bit now; YouTube broke the embeds again. I’d be interested to see if swapping back to how they were handled when just “brushing against” them would trigger the video to play would fix that.
