I'm getting some weird random "Error - Not Logged In" popups. The first time I got them was after I upgraded to 5.1, so I thought it was related to that and cleared app data. It's come back a couple times since then, but it'll go away on its own after a few minutes.

The app has been working really well for me lately. Way fewer crashes. Thanks!

The iOS app just crashes all the time for me, for seemingly no reason (iPad 4.) I still like it, it's just less stable than the Android app.

I have a feature request: add a Share action in the individual post drop down, maybe replacing copy link.

One feature that would make me very happy is the ability to share youtube videos from youtube app to the awful app.

So the text of the post ? Pictures too? Videos? (I have no idea what is actually possible)

Sharing from the app would be useful to linking people to posts I guess - a lot of apps handle URLs as an automated copy&paste

I always thought it would be nice to be able to share to the app, so you could kind of collect a bunch of links and be able to preview and add them to posts. So say you see a video you want to :justpost: about later, you could push it to the app and it would keep it in a list, and you could keep all your hilarious image macros to hand. That's a fair amount of effort though - I guess an easier feature would be sharing to the app, and if you have a post open in the editor, it'll insert the link/embed at the cursor

Post them in a thread with proper [video] tags

Right now I have to do a weird thing where I "share" the video from youtube to the phone's clipboard then I switch back to awful and paste it in but it's in https://youtu.be format which the video tags don't understand so I have to edit it by hand and it's annoying as gently caress.

I apologize if this has been asked before, but I couldn't find it. I have the app set to always open links, and to open images as a link instead of inline (to speed things up on slow connections).

Whenever there's a link to a tinypic image, and I open it, the link never works. The page loads but the image doesn't. I'm not sure if this is an issue with the app or with the browser or what. Does anyone else have a similar issue?

Hey what's the "error- not logged in" mean? Keeps on happening.

Possibly dumb question: do I need to do anything special to make attached images not show as broken links? Happens on my S4 mini running 4.2 and my Kindle Fire running Cyanogenmod. Both have login credentials stored in Chrome so tapping the broken image shows it in that, but it would be great if they showed natively!

Just want to say I appreciate the way the menu bars on the top left morph into the arrow.

App is running fine other than the loading failed thing. That seems to happen if the app is left in any state running in the background for a while and then brought back.

Keep up the good work, it's appreciated

That is nice, but in my opinion: The only thing in this app that ought to spin in circles is the frog.

It is pretty annoying though for me the only way to fix it is to force close the app completely then it works for however long it wants to.

Sorry, I misread your post as being about the "Loading failed" error when the app opens which goes away after a few seconds. Your problem does suck and I believe someone's been trying to track it down.

Is there any way to disable the omnipresent blue quote/pencil button? It's got a deceptively big hitbox on my small phone.

Or do the opposite and just delete the app data.

Looks to be working again now.
