As far as I can tell, ZDR did something to all of his posts directly in the database and caused them all to vanish from the threads they were in, screwing up all of those threads. There's more info in QCS somewhere.

In meteorology, vorticity often refers to a measurement of the spin of horizontally flowing air about a vertical axis.
I know the announcement thing is a joke now, but I'm getting notifications for a new announcement, and I don't see it when I tap, just the one about merch from August.

I've seen them too, at a guess Lowtax is changing the title, so it looks like an update

The Announcements Secret is there's no easy way to tell what's going on with them, all the links go to the same URL and the last update timestamps can randomly +/- an hour whenever you load the page :choco: I had to settle for keeping a list of current titles and comparing to that to see what's changed

So it'll treat a title change as a new announcement, but ideally Lowtax will only do that when the content's updated anyway? I don't know I just know it's about shirts, maybe there's a new shirt

what if it only considered announcements that don't contain the key words shirt, selling, and front page

What if, and bear with me here, you make an option to disable the announcement popup.

I don't know if this is even possible with our current technology I'm just spitballing here

We definitely do not have the technology

That's what the option in the menu drawer does, but all the unread count/notification stuff needs a way to spot changes. I bet xenforo has amazing APIs for this, the best

I meant just have the announcement always there at the bottom of the screen in order to annoy people. You get to throw away all that "Is this a new announcement?" code and enjoy life.

While we're on it, can you propose a better color for read amberPOS posts?

Should be able to add a setting to disable that tinting, I guess? Makes more sense to have it as an option in the app

im an amberpos user and-- Wait, sorry. I mean, I'm an AmberPOS user and I like the unseen and read coloring but what I don't like is my post coloring. I like that things are kept monochrome but the weird green effect isn't pretty. That said, it's not better on desktop where it's just bright yellow. Just spitballing it might look best with a thick box around the post and the quotes like the old programs used to do to highlight stuff but I doubt that's easy or doable.

I don't use OP coloring so I have no opinion there.

Honestly I like YOSPOS colors just the way they are, really. Like I said it's already better than the increasingly broken CSS on desktop and just being able to swap the colors is like magic. The best part about the color scheme is some of it is ugly and it seems fitting that the ugliest part should be my posts.

Would it be possible to add an auto upload to imgur like awful.app does? From the post I saw you select the img bbcode, choose the image and it then uploads and pastes the url in the tags.

If I had to guess, considering this is the dialog for inserting into posts, it's Insert Video, Insert Attachment, and Quote.
