Is anyone else getting weird grey patches over the screen? I either get a grey patch where the keyboard should be when I switch apps, or more rarely a full grey screen when I quote someone, don't post and move to the next page. Both need a force quit to fix.

Personally I think think every app should do what Tweetbot does: make it so tapping again returns you back to your previous position.

Oh my loving GOD.

Thank you so much for pointing this out. I've accidentally scrolled to the top of a 200 post timeline for the final time.

Oh hey, I figured out making a post fixes the problem with the grey bar getting stuck at the bottom of your screen. :justpost:

I was getting image upload errors trying to make any posts last night, which I thought might have been because I had included a tweet, but just making a text-only post with no bbcode tags threw the same error. Might be because I'm on 11.4.1 public beta 3, but now it seems to be working?

The forums broke last night.

Any chance you could make posts from ignored users smaller? I know currently it's displaying a link to show the ignored post but maybe you could word it so it only takes up a line?

Replace it with tiny text that says "you blocked this oval office for a reason".

The grey bar is back, and bigger than ever.

Swapping to an XS Maxxxxxx on Monday so we'll see if that fixes it.

The grey bar is back, this time in the notification areas around the notch on my XS Max.

It pushes all of the content down a tiny bit.

Unrelated, I'm also getting an error when I try to upload the cropped screenshot.

Testing if an unedited shot works. It gets rid of the navigation bar at the bottom.

I apologize if this is already well known (I've only been following the last few pages), but what's up with Twitter embeds lately?

1) Videos don't play; you can tap to "activate" a video, but then it never starts playing

2) Some tweets have this blue quoted subtweet attached to them, and the formatting is all weird, with blue checks misaligned and the blue text sometimes getting partially cut off (can't find an example of the latter just now):

3) Tweets with images sometimes squash them to the wrong proportions (I think if they're taller than a certain threshold):

Twitter discontinued a bunch of its APIs a few months ago.

Also Pokeyman thanks for picking up on the new grey bar issue. I reinstalled this morning on the off chance that might fix it and it was fine right up until I selected a new app icon, at which point it froze. When I force quit and restarted, the grey bar was there.

I'm on a new install again and it hasn't come back yet.

Just an update to help Pokeyman track the issue - the grey bar hasn't come back since I reinstalled without changing the icon.

Come to think of it, the bottom grey bar I was getting in my old 8 was on an app with a changed icon too. The issues might be linked?

This gif won't play on my xs for some reason. I've noticed this a few times, it only affects a smallish percent of animated gifs it seems. They are paused on the first frame and won't load.

Also in the latest beta I can't hit user names to bring up that menu.

Working fine on my Excess Maxxx. Basic poo poo but have you tried clearing your cache and/or reinstalling?

good to know. Still haven't looked into it, sorry. Always happy to +1 it on the list though.

No worries mate. I�ve done a clean reinstall and that�s fixed it. I�m fairly sure it�s changing the icon that causes it.

Just noticing an annoying feature in the latest update: sharing an image from the meme thread now shares a link to the image on imgur now, rather than just sending the funny picture to the recipient.

I know it�s still possible to copy the image and paste it into Messages or wherever, but the share sheet was a lot more convenient for bombarding my family with memes. Is there any way to reverse the change? Or is it some bullshit imgur has pulled?

commie kong posted:

Can you link to a post with an image that does this?

Also, are you saying that you copy images without entering the image viewer pop up and using the bottom right icon that brings up Copy URL and Copy Image options?

Or are you selecting a different option to send a selected image to another app?

Here�s a post where I replicated the issue:

barbecue at the folks posted:

I open the image with the viewer pop up, use the bottom right icon and usually share with the share sheet straight to Messages or FB Messenger (clicking the app icon or contact shortcut, not going copy image). Before the update, Awful would just output the funny image. Now it posts both the image and a link to it on Imgur.
