Huh!? What? Right...
So I happened to notice today that I have some minor burn in from the page count section at the bottom. I've had this phone for a few years so many people probably wouldn't even have that happen. I do use the dark theme so many that makes it a bit worse? I was wondering if it was possible to have the page count fade down till you get towards the bottom of the page just to keep it from happening? I'll be updating my phone in a month or so anyway but the feature might look nice anyway.

I don't want to have to get all the way to near the bottom (or top) of a page to jump pages forward or back. Anyway, I've been using this app extensively for more than 3 years on the same exact phone and never had an issue.

That's fair but I just wanted to put it out there. I only noticed it today and it's pretty minor on top of it. I'm sure there is a better solution than what I come up with it.

What phone are you using? This shouldn't be a problem on most recent phones.

We did look into the whole 'UI disappears when you scroll down until you scroll back up' thing (like on Chrome) but it's complicated because of how the app is laid out. Nothing's ever easy!

The page bar is a little more dynamic these days so the elements move around (like if there's one icon on the left it'll be centered) but we can't really prevent phone issues like burn-in, you probably have it on the status bar and soft buttons too. My Galaxy Nexus did it, it sucks

He says he's had it for a few years. The burn-in issue hasn't been completely solved on phone OLEDs even today. Hell, I've seen store demo units with it in the not terribly distant past.

I have a Samsung S6. And like I said it's pretty minor and I was just tossing the problem out there. I don't think it would be serious issue but if there was an easy fix it would be nice just for avoiding any future issues. Thanks for the feedback though.

Is this a feature request thread too? I'm a huge fan of the app, but one irritation I have is that pasting a YouTube link is a drat nightmare. Is it in the cards to have the app auto parse youtu.be links?

The preview doesn't work on old/stock versions of the webview for probably really great reasons!!! but it should be ok if you have the play store version installed

Can't really be any more specific than that, it's not exactly easy to test

I got the new update and I've noticed the three dots that launch the quote/edit post menu don't seem to show up on my Galaxy S7 Edge. The menu still pops up when I tap on the general area though.

The Material Frog is okay, though there's no circular asset for Pixels (the only thing that matters). It's definitely better than the really out of place old icon. That can't have looked right on anything past Jelly Bean.

On a completely different note, will it ever be possible to set up a list of subforums we'd like quicker access to? Something like, well, the Something app? I regularly switch between the two and by far the biggest pain point is having to dig into the enormous and always-collapsed forum list to check the three or four subforums I want to read.

I have to imagine most users are similar, seldom venturing beyond a few favorite subforums, but maybe I'm wrong?

Yeah the forum list is kinda set up for that now, just needs the actual favorites selection/storage part implementing :effortless:

I'll post a large enough version of the old one in the OP when I get back If you have a custom launcher you can replace the new one there. It will still be in the app though.

It's certainly close! I only mention it because I think apps are supposed to define a circular one in addition to the other.

However no time has been invested in that yet as:

I do a lot of moving via bookmarks but I know a few goons and all of them must be weird like me because they do about an equal amount of time going to a subforum to scan for new & interesting threads. If we're all out of the norm it wouldn't really surprise me, but on the other hand it kind of would? I mean it's not my time and effort so it's neither here nor there, I just find it strange.

As long as you're answering questions I have another:

Why no fixed width font on the YOSPOS thread listing? The colors already change when you go to it, why not the font too?
