I think I would say to my daughters if they were to ask me this question... A shitpost is the greatest gift that you can give someone, the ultimate gift of giving and don't give it to someone lightly, that's what I would say.
What happened to the option to paste a YouTube link in the video submenu? I can't share sick tunes anymore.

You can already go to keyboards and add the SA keyboard which lets you use them in any app, technically.

When I use those images, though, what do people *without* the keyboard installed see? Very few of my friends would understand :psyduck:, but :psyduck: is quite clear.

They see the gif as long as the receiving device puts attachments inline. It's great for iMessage/texts but some stuff like WhatsApp don't play nice with gifs because they insist on making it an attachment you have to tap to open.

I may not have the technical jargon right but experiment a bit, you'll get the idea.

E: its funny you say psyduck is quite clear cause for the longest time I thought the bill was part of the torso like panda bear shading.

WhatsApp screwed me because I'd gotten so comfy with iMessage doing them correctly so it was kinda awkward to send someone a giant blown up first frame of the intended gif. Turns out the first frame of most the SA smilie gifs do not really convey the same meaning as the full loop...

This is what the sticker pack will fix, correct?

Second question: how much effort would it be to get the source files for that pack and strip it down to just the smilies I would regularly use? I'm sure there are lots of people here who need :razorback2:, :razorback:, and :razorfront:, but I really don't see myself ever using them.

On the settings tab, there's a "hide sidebar in landscape" option. When selected, the sidebar will slide in/out on left/right swipes. When deselected, it will sit there permanently and the thread will sit on the other 3/4 of the screen.

I've tried that, it doesn't make GBS appear. To be honest it doesn't really seem like it does anything. I see the sort of 'shadow' that fades in as you pull down, then it fades out again when I release it but nothing much else seems to happen.

I have an issue with how the app embeds tweets. The USPol thread contains many posts that are ill-advised tweets that later get taken down. See, for example, page 568 of this month's thread: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3788694&perpage=40&pagenumber=568.

Deleted tweets don't embed properly (duh), but they also break the embedding of undeleted tweets on the same page. The text of the tweets loads, but the final product isn't converted into a tweet-looking box, nor are any images/videos properly loaded.

Edit: now with img!


I've noticed this too, but I don't want to promise anything about fixing it because it doesn't sound like the kind of thing we control. (I think we just unleash twitter's fine javascript products all over the posts view.)

Stickers working okay so far but some of the smaller smileys are pretty difficult to grab onto, because you don't know you've grabbed onto them since they are under your meaty goonthumb. I assume this is an iOS limitation and not something you can fiddle with?

:shrug: might have something to do with picking the medium size for everything and that means smaller ones get the shaft.

Man I went to go look at the todo list to see if the issue I was having was already reported and that's a pretty big list

Yeah, todo list is kind of a cruel joke. Problem is I really have no idea how to manage it. It's ok to skip it :)

quote:

Anyways, right now the issue I'm having is that after loading a few extra pages in a forum, sometimes Awful will attempt to load that many pages again on subsequent visits to the forum. Oftentimes the app will freeze while it tries loading everything, but still buffer any touch events you might be giving it so it loads everything simultaneously. Doing a pull to refresh will sometimes collapse it back down to one page temporarily, and logging out and back in resets the page counter. iphone se 3.17 but it happened to my old 5s as well

This sounds interesting, I'll have to look into it more to get some idea of what's going on. It does sound kinda familiar.

It would not be much effort. Slowest part of the process for me was waiting for Xcode to load the sticker pack.

"Normal" as in typical, yes. "Normal" as in expected behaviour, no.

In theory we try to prune the cache. In practice it fails and/or crashes a lot.

Good ideas both. I mean, I don't mind having an endless todo list full of things that will never happen, but if it's cramping y'all's style I'm happy to change it up.
