Right, but this is on the community's icon when you view your communities, not on a particular post. Does that display new +1s as well? I thought it was just new content.

I already said I understand that. But I wasn't aware this view showed +1s, since otherwise it seems like the Science on G+ number would be a lot higher:

There is always a 1 badge on the Awful community for me. It's been that way forever despite no new posts since Nov 9, 2013. All other communities work fine for me with the activity badge so I just chalk it up to something being hosed up with that particular community.

Why don't you post something in there so the number will be bumped?

There's like 0 chance I'm even starting on implementing posting threads when people still somehow manage to make posts in wrong threads. I'd rather have Awful.apk be the app that can't make threads than be the apps that autobans people.

Thats a pretty stupid reason

I never said it was a plus one. That was the other guy who was repeating himself.

Right, because I went to it to try to find out why the 1 was there. Sometimes it's there, sometimes it's not. That's what I'm trying to figure out.

Very silly question, but when posting from my phone, how do I include a picture I've taken with my phone? I'm used to the apple app, so I'm re-learning.

I just checked, they deleted the info text for Let's play except for the -

Now the app looks for a text that's no longer there and throws an exception, causing it to not load the forum.

I wish I was kidding.

So is there some way to nicely ask the mods to change that back? It seems like a really simple change if I'm understanding you right.

When attaching an image to a forum post there is a lag before it shows up, it's an issue with the forums itself and can't be fixed in Awful. It does work, just give it a minute and then refresh.

How do I reset the pop-up we get when clicking images? I accidentally double tapped and now images I click are automatically opening in a browser instead of prompting me for what to do.

Now with less breakage.

I think there's a urldecode too many or something in the parsing code - I changed my title yesterday and suddenly I can't scroll past the header of my first post in a page.

Alternatively I should have guessed that it would break things and just replace it with something less destructive.

That 'new' option is almost 2 years old, and yes, it is designed to do exactly that.

I found this image on the Internet, perhaps you've heard of it? It's been around for a while I hear.

Does anyone else have an issue where anything that it's posted from the clipboard into a post gets spaces automatically added on either side? It often breaks URL tags if I don't notice and it ends up putting in something like this:
code:
[url=" [url]www.google.com[/url] "][/url]

Using Swype (built-in, I think) on a stock rooted Samsung Galaxy S4.

Edit: posting from the app, and it keeps adding an extra set of URL tags even when I edit the post to remove them. Ignore them and focus on the spaces inside the quotes, where I pasted the URL. Pretend these are square brackets:
code:
{url=" [url]www.google.com[/url] "}Link text{/url}

Edit 2: gently caress it even that didn't work. Probably another bug at play here

The extra url tags being added within code tags is a forums side issue, at least, because that happens within a pc browser as well.

It's the "automatically parse URLs" option you can tick when posting. Maybe the app should expose that checkbox?

Or implement a whole BBcode parser and do it properly on the client-side!

Actually I'd totally help with that. It nails the "over-engineered feature" and "solves a self-inflicted problem" principles that underlie the Awful brand.

A fair point. Still, what's up with the pasting issue? It's not just within tags that it does that, and it makes precision cut/copy/pasting a pain.

As of a few days ago, app keeps signing me out at random moments for random intervals, and I don't have a clue why. Internet connection is present and functional at all times this happen. What happens, basically, is "loading failed" on any action, so my current way to solve this is press back button a few times until I get into main menu, then open the app again and log in. This one, repeated dozen or so times, usually lets me get it. It logs in every time, but it's always "loading failed" so I just back out, fire it up again and login again. I'm not sure if issue is with something on my phone or with the app, and neither am I sure in what information I should provide so the post is of any use. Phone is Nexus 5, Android 5.0.1, baseband version M8974A-2.0.50.2.22, kernel version 3.4.0-g88fbc66 (android-built@vpbs1.mtv.corp.google.com #1 Mon Oct 20 22:18:31 UTC 2014), build number LRX22C. Awful version is 3.1.2b. Also, it more seems that issue is time locked, X number of logins resolving it seems dumb. If that's the case, I'd eyeball 10 or so minutes.
