I’m not sure if this is old, because I don’t use it that often, but what happened to the thing where if you click a username in a post it would give you option to see just their posts, view profile etc? I’ve clicked/long pressed everything I can see and can’t find that stuff. I’m on a 6 so not sure if it’s behind a 3D Touch now?

E: a force kill and reopen brought it back, how odd.

Seem to be getting a ton of problems today on threads that have a single new reply. Nothing loads at all (and the counter doesn’t reset).

Has something changed with the way YouTube embeds? Tonight I seem to be triggering playback of any video I scroll by. I’m feeling sick as a dog so it might just be my senses messing with me though.

Yes, YouTube changed something.

Glad to see both this is confirmed, and how sick I was confirmed as I now see with a clear head that the page I read looking to see if anyone else posted about it indeed has everyone posting about it.

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.

Look through the thread for the settings to make a Shortcut to do this step, it's easier.

I haven’t been able to replicate it yet, but I 100% saw one of my old usernames on the reply preview screen. Not sure if that’s ominous or not...

Could be that vB uses your first username as the static name for your account, and if you pay to 'Change Username' all it's actually doing is changing a Display Name. This is how Invision Power Board works, anyway.

No it does come up sometimes and for similar reasons as you, and ever since YouTube changed things a while back it’s stopped working. I usually end up copying the url from the share sheet.

Mr. Nice! posted:

Huh? What do you mean iOS shortcut? You mean just posting images directly with the app via long press and choosing image? Because, if so, that’s using the imgur api and fails more often than not for me.

It just failed on this post to attach a picture of my dog, for example.

No, there's a set of instructions you can make that incorporates the Shortcut tool that will upload a selected image to imgur, generate the bbcode, and then puts it in the paste buffer. I'll try find it now.. at worst I'll screenshot mine and use said shortcut to post it!

Switching between light and dark mode does what’s expected, but Automatic Dark mode should’ve kicked in to Dark hours ago based on normal behavior and it hasn’t.

I’ve force closed, I’ll try a reboot and a log out just in case one of those sorts it.

E: nope, still stuck on light mode.

Neat I didn’t know that! Reverting to the previous 5.10 build of 51000 resolved it for me.

Ah yes I’m also on an iOS beta still I think, so it could be something weird with that and maybe I’m an outlier. 5.0 19a344, which looks like I never moved up from the RC for some reason. I could’ve sworn I was on a PB for 15.1 by now. I’ll kill the profile and go back to regular just in case it’s that.

The closest you can probably do is long hold the post and hit the ‘skip to last page’ option, rather than last post. But it’ll get you close.
