As a newbie to the ios version of the awful app, how do I make it show every post and not just the newest posts/my reply? Context of a discussion is important to me.

I'm getting this error when trying to upload a photo from my library:


I made sure to turn off Live Photo, but that didn't matter.

Also, is there a way to stop the app prompting me to "save or delete my draft" whenever I try to exit from posting? I NEVER want to save. Thanks.

You can swipe downwards on the title bar of a draft to hide it with no confirmation dialog; this has the same effect as closing-and-saving the draft. Note that "saving" a draft post/edit within an Awful app thread merely means that you can tap the pencil icon to reopen that draft as it was when you closed it, or quote a post to insert its quoted text in the current draft; none of these drafts are saved longterm in any kind of Drafts folder. If you leave the thread and open a new one, any old draft is deleted with no confirmation required.

I didn't know you could swipe down to cancel a post, I thought you had to hit the "Cancel" button :-p

However.

If I decide I don't want to use the quoted post I selected, but I decide I still want to post, or I want to use a different quoted post, what then? It automatically inserts the fucker unless I leave the thread and come back first. That's dumb.

At the very least, I would prefer the option to auto-delete instead of auto-save when I swipe down to cancel.

Is it me, or do YouTube videos in the app accidentally activate WAY more easily while scrolling now?

Ah, I see I'm not the only one.

Didn't it used to require actually pressing the Play triangle to activate?

Did anyone else’s shortcut break with iOS 15? It seems to upload just fine but it won’t let me paste into the app.

Yeah, Photo Upload 1 won't paste for me either.

If there was any way I could assist in having the SA emotes tagged in a way that you can search for them via the keyboard you let me know immediately.

The smiles are long, long overdue for a re-sorting anyway. I've been tempted to go full nerd, manually sort them, and pm a sheet to the mods for everything. Adding tags in a binding of Isaac style system where you can use general color/shape/object tags to search stuff down would be cool too.

For those that don't know, Binding of Isaac is a roguelike twin stick shooter with an incredibly huge list of unlockable items; the best website for cataloging them all is: https://platinumgod.co.uk/repentance.
The search field can use even basic terms like "red", "tooth", "face", etc. to help narrow down the one you're trying to get ability info on, as the game itself only gives you a sentence on pickup that may not explain much, and the pause menu doesn't tell you anything either.

That kind of thing would be cool. Metadata behind the smilies would help! I can never remember the SA smilie tag names. I want the red smilie shaking his fist :grr:? No. the high five one? :highfive: no

The actual forums should delete a lot of them.

To add a smilie, goons have to pony up USD $30. If they started getting deleted, customers would (rightly) lose their poo poo.

As a left-handed person on ios, may I humbly suggest that when someone accidentally presses the gold star next to the forums they like, that the app ask if they want to confirm removing it.

Cause it's driving me nuts having to re-add, then re-sort them. :smith:

Other issues:
- embedded YouTube videos hang after a couple seconds and won't continue playing (iPhone 11, iPad 9, iPad Pro M1)

- can't directly upload .heic photos from my iPhone 11, only with the iPads.

Image uploading from the awful app has been messed up since the last update or two.

On M1 iPad pro and iPhone 11, if I choose do not paste, it gives me this:

[url=][/url]

If I choose paste, it acts like the normal paste function. Why would I want it to do that? iOS already has that ability. And there's no way to change it once you've selected it. At no time does it give me the option to select an image from my photo library or the camera anymore.

Scroll up. Image uploading was removed as part of the ongoing Imgur drama. Create and use a shortcut (also see upthread) to get the functionality until a long term solution is settled on and implemented.

Does SA not have their own image storage? I thought that was the entire point of being able to attach a file to a post.
