You can use keyboard shortcuts for a lot of the stuff though, like, selecting some text and pressing Control+B adds the bold text bbcode around it Control+I for italic, Control+L for list etc.

There used to be a Firefox extension I used that added all sorts of bbcode stuff to the right click menu or something... I'm a little fuzzy on the details as it's been many years since I last used it. I do remember I was really disappointed when it disappeared.
It still exists and was maintained as of last year, though I don't see any updates this year:

Sorry, it was a generic bbcode extension, not specific to SA. It had a lot more options and smarts for formatting.

It might need storage permissions, if I'm not confusing it with another issue

Hey that fixed it, thanks! Not being able to use the dark theme is pretty much the only reason I hadn't activated my S8 in the 6 weeks since I got it. Woo

Are you on the latest version? That should have been fixed a while back, you get a warning about permissions now (and it works without them, you just can't see any custom themes you've added)

Weird! So this is what's meant to happen

  • You go into Settings > Themes
  • (If you've already said Deny you get an explanation popup, unless you said Don't Ask Again)
  • You get an 'allow storage permission' popup
  • You click Allow or Deny and it goes away
  • Now you can click on Theme and get a list
  • You choose one and the Settings page changes to use the new theme

Where on that list is it crashing? And what version of Android are you on? The actual version number would help, should be in About Phone or whatever

For me, it crashes when I tap the theme that I want to change to. Nexus 5X, Android 7.1.2, all patches/updates installed.

e: i triggered the crash again so i could send a report. I don't think I sent one before, sorry!

Hmm yeah, something's up there all right. Thanks for pointing it out because it looks like it's been happening for a while!

e- the people getting this, do you see a normal list of themes - Default, Dark, OLED etc? Are you doing anything special before you select one, like rotating the screen or anything?

Yeah, I see the big list of themes. I don't think I'm doing anything funny, I just tried it again after force-closing the app in my OS settings and it still crashed. One potential interesting thing here is that, if I haven't given the "storage" permission or I turn it off, when the dialog pops up with the list of themes, the radio button by the current theme isn't "selected". When I've granted the permission the radio button is selected when the list pops up.

Normal list. But like I said it was fixed by allowing the storage permissions. OS was 7.0 on a Samsung S8. Sorry for the late response!

My case may have been a little different since I mirrored my old phone and then updated all of the apps, so maybe that could be why I didn't get the notification when I updated.

Yeah it's meant to handle permissions rejection cleanly though. You don't even need permissions for the standard themes! It's only if you want the app to look for custom ones you've added yourself

This is weird, I can see what's crashing it but I have no idea why it's getting in that situation in the first place. Can't reproduce it either. What the hell!

Unless the current theme is the top one, right? Somehow the backing values for the list aren't being filled along with the labels, which is interesting since they're done at exactly the same time

Ok so feel free to laugh at me guys, but my Amazon Fire 7 tablet is looking like this. I've searched for a way to change the layout on it, but everything I've seen says I need to root it. Do y'all have any help?

quote:

My phone looks like this:

Your phone provides incorrect values and is handled as a tablet by the app because of it.
Go to setting -> device & navigation and change the layout to phone

Edit: NEVERMIND. I'm just dumb. It only shows that for the main forum view and combines it with my bookmarks. It's still weird as hell for me (I'm used to my phone), but the actual threads display just fine.

Can't you change it to phone layout in the settings? Does it still display in tablet mode?

Not that I can see. I've gone through all the settings and haven't found any that let me change the layout. Google says I probably have to root it, but I can live with how it looks since the threads themselves are fine.

Nah that's for theming the layout of posts (I guess this might be confusing huh)

Soysaucebeast posted where the setting is, Settings > Display and Navigation > Thread layout. It lets you pick tablet or phone layout, and on a smaller device it's greyed out and says you can't have tablet mode - it should default to the normal phone layout on that case. If it's not then that needs fixing

Man some of this stuff needs renaming

Oh my God I'm an idiot. I thought I'd have to fiddle with settings on the tablet itself. I didn't realize that was a setting in the app. Christ I'm dumb sometimes. Thanks for the help though, guys!

IIRC, that means you have to change the DST setting by hand twice a year.

If that's not the case, what's wrong is that it changes when the USA changes to DST, while this date actually differs per country/time zone (and is even reversed in the few southern hemisphere places that use DST).

Of course the correct solution is for the world to abolish DST.
