Apples weather app might be the single most comically inaccurate weather app on the planet. Why is it so bad?

Well, I do agree that it's an.... awful app! But maybe not the one this thread is about lol.

The account link is visible enough. It’s just that one day later, my device is no longer logged in (I guess the cookie expired) and there’s no way to renew the login without canceling my post.

does anyone actually prefer uploading from camera over uploading from pictures?

I'd personally much rather see upload from pictures first up on the context menu, at least ahead of camera.

So I have also wondered how to unignore users and unfortunately this suggestion does not work for me. It always says Ignore User instead of Unignore User and tapping the option does nothing. After seeing this image I thought maybe it had been fixed but nope, it still does it

Yes, the app is up to date

This is silly but, have you tried reloading the thread? I had that recently happen to me where I accidentally ignored someone but the unignore option didn't show up until later.

unignore broke for me once i had an ignored user that was/became a mod iirc

try unignoring through the ignored user list on the website to see if you get an error

I love this app.
My question: is there a way to see "sent" PMs? I might not be smart enough to figure it out, but it appears one can only see the Inbox in the Awful app.
Helpful when shipping/receiving from SA Mart.

You’re not missing anything, it’s not currently possible.

Had that problem too, it's gonna happen again when whatever login token for imgur expires, too, only way I've dealt with it is to upload an image so I can get the login prompt, login, delete the image, post

Or copy all your post text if you don't trust drafts, back out, turn off imgur uploads, and try again

So what’s the hot new feature we’re all going to gripe about needing now? I’d be partial to bookmark filter/search but I’d also be open to something that makes my posting good.

I’m not much for the tech but it would be an interesting experiment. Run sentiment analysis on a decade or two worth posts and see what smiley would best fit a given post or conversation. I can’t imagine the effort or electricity would be worth it though. Just buy the LLM an account and have it lurk a few years like the rest of us did.

Yeah now that smilies are tagged with words related to their contents, being able to type in words to filter by those tags would be the best way to approach it.

The browser could use improvement too , for anyone who wanted to look through all of them and find one that fit their posting mood, but the filter search would enable anyone who knew exactly which emote they wanted to use to find it much quicker.

Can't remember if I mentioned this before but I noticed sometimes bookmarked threads show up twice in iOS:

Tried removing bookmark, added it back, then it still happens. Also tried removing it on desktop, adding it on desktop, adding it on iOS.

This happens to me with any app-created threads, and I always poo poo my pants thinking that I made a double post.

I’ve found if I click back a page and then go forward again it’ll load minus whatever image was holding things up. Hopefully with the Imgur integration working fewer people will use the postimg or imgbb links that seemed to be the worst offenders.

This happens to me a lot in the PYF comic thread thanks to slow internet. A way to refresh the page (preferably while staying on the current post) would be great.

After the last update whenever I click my bookmarks on the app it just takes me to the last bookmarked thread I read instead of showing the list of bookmarks. Anyone else? On iPhone.

E: logging in and out fixes it…. Until I click on a bookmarked thread, then whenever I click bookmarks again it just goes back to that thread

I know if you hit “parent forum” while looking at a bookmarked thread it will take you to the forum list to browse, but then when you click back on bookmarks it will take you to the thread you had open when you clicked parent forum. I thought this was deliberate behavior.

why can't I swipe to remove bookmarks from the bookmarks menu anymore? sorry sure this has been asked before. otherwise great app!

edit: also my quoted posts aren't highlighted in purple anymore. is that because I changed my username? perhaps I should log out (forever lol) and log in again.
