Can you post a link?

Also, well, yeah timgs can't help with that, they only make the image's display resolution smaller. It's still the same image, not a thumbnail.

Is there any way to use custom fonts for the app? Themes are easy, and I'm curious about logistics.

When I was on probation, the forums list was inaccessible as it just a huge pink block. I checked the forums through chrome and I could still do stuff, so is that intentional?

I took a screenshot on my tablet that I can post later of you need it.

No that's not intentional.Sounds like I'm bad at layouts. I'll take a look.

I recently switched from iPhone to android and of course the awful app was one of the first things I downloaded!

However does this version not allow you to preview posts? Can't figure out if that just doesn't exist or if I'm being dense. I think my only other complaint is that there seems to be no way to just hold and zoom-in on an image to view it easier; instead you click on an image and wait for it to open in a browser to do the same thing? Otherwise things look pretty good. :)

Ok, we ALL get probated constantly, but when that happens on my tablet I can't read the threads because the whole left side forum menu is purpled out. It's all purple, baby. I don't like that cause I'd like to read the threads while I think about the rules I broke so I don't break them again.

I've had this problem on my G2 for a while: swiping down (or any other direction) on a code block acts as if I swiped from the left side of the screen and opens the bookmark list, instead of scrolling the page down. I've tried all combinations of settings etc, any ideas?

Coincidentally I fixed that one during the weekend after someone else reported this bug. It might take a little bit for the fix to come through so, uh, don't get probated until then?

Don't get me wrong, I love the iOS app, but I just got a shiny new Android tablet, and I mean to use the Awful app available for it as well.

Now for actual content:

I've been experiencing a bug ever since I just acquired the app on my Shield K1 (already familiar with it from when I was testing out a Galaxy Tab 4 7.0). When attempting to load the last page of a topic, either through navigation or through simply clicking a bookmark and jumping to the last read marker on the last page, the app will sit there, appearing to load, but nothing will happen. It will sit there for ages with a blank window and navigation buttons. When it's a case of navigation, the next page button will remain a refresh icon indefinitely. Then attempts to navigate back will also stick a refresh icon indefinitely.

It could also be that this Shield K1 tablet has lovely WiFi reception. I get less than full strength indicator even when I am connected to the WiFi I am sharing from my iMac, which I am sitting in front of, which I only started doing because it was having trouble with the actual house WiFi which is located two rooms away.

Sorry if this has already been answered but I didn't see it in the op or last few pages - I have embedded videos on and none of them will actually play, webm or YouTube. They embed fine and I see the first frame but when I click play they turn black and never start. Is this a known issue on some phones? I'm using a Droid Turbo with the current os (5.1)

Would it be possible to have the app automatically enter in YouTube links in the proper format when choosing to embed a video like it'll drop in website links in the URL block?

E: oh yeah, wanted to say that I started using the oled theme and except for the poo poo brown op color and previously read posts being kinda hard to separate out I like it.

Leper's Colony is a bit of a faff, I'm not sure it's a priority at the minute?

You mean the youtube.be links you get from the YouTube app? Yeah that's been bugging me, I'll look at it if Sereri doesn't

Is your webview up to date? That handles all the video playback. Does it ever work, is it the same on WiFi, have you tried turning hardware acceleration on/off etc

Actually an outdated webview usually improves things. Usually. My guess would be that hardware acceleration is turned off. Settings > device and navigation.

If I click on someone's avatar to expand it, it doesn't expand and I can't scroll down the page unless I swipe back to my bookmarks or forums index or w/e and then swipe back to the thread.

That'd be cool, but I meant like if the link in your clipboard is from youtube that the video bbcode would automatically add in the type=”YouTube" and put the nonsense letters where they're supposed to go.

Oh I thought it already did that, but the YouTube app's links with their fancy domain poo poo broke it. I just tried it though and looks like I was wrong!

Bing bong! That did it. Thanks friend! Any disadvantage to using hw acceleration? I don't think I turned it off on my own but who knows, I love noodling around in settings when I'm wasted.

This and rap sheets. We're missing some tools for figuring out how big an idiot someone is.

I totally understand why they're not in and are likely approx. last priority, though.

How the gently caress did I not notice that until now.

Due to a boolean error you can only report mods at the moment. No, not admins. Seems to be a second bug there.
