hello, there is an issue uploading iPhone screenshots that have been cropped using the new function to imgur via Awful, and results in Protocol error: code 100. it works if I upload to imgur directly, and if I were to redownload from this link, it posts from Awful fine. if the issue has been noted already, apologies

Is it this one?

Yeah this is the same one I've been getting on my 7+ since I switched photo format to High Efficiency. I think Imgur doesn't take HEIC photos.

You know, I suspect there is a workaround somewhere, because I've only managed to get into a preview loop once and couldn't reproduce it. Unfortunately I don't know what it is. Sorry!

It's probably obvious to everyone but me, but I realized you can turn off Post Preview in the Settings menu. That's a decent way to avoid the problem until it gets ironed out. Oddly enough, my iPad Pro 9.7 (all latest iOS and apps) doesn't suffer from preview loop.

and just to sound like im not bitching:

I really enjoy the app and the work you guys put into it! It's a pleasure to use and scales incredibly well with a variety of screen sizes. Being able to change the app icon to the frog/dog/ghost/creepy yospos guy is cool and good!

Was there a change at some point for the pull-up distance needed to browse to the next page? I feel like I never triggered that accidentally but now I do it all the time. Maybe it's just a function of where I start the drag on the iPhone X vs the 6.

It's definitely the iPhone X, it's triggered when the circle icon is about halfway visible.

Can you make a point system/hall of fame for emptyquotes so I can stop updating this 300gb xlsx?

I've thought about doing some funny detecting of things like emptyquotes or name changes. Couldn't really come up with a useful feature though.

I don't know what this light switch gesture is but it sounds cool.

Here's a mock up I made for an OLED theme in thread view:

It's mostly all 000000 black. The dividing lines are 1a1a1a gray, and I gave them rounded edges so they'd melt into the OLED more. Text color values are all the same as before in this image but I think the link blue color should be brightened to 0066ff.

The background for the Parent Forum | Previous Posts | End of Page buttons could be 1a1a1a also.

I like this! No promises about when I'll get to it�

Yeah

sorry about that. Kinda surprised a quit/relaunch doesn't work. Until I finally fix this stuff, you could always resort to a delete/reinstall. I realize how dumb that is.

No apologies necessary. I suspect it's one of the known issues with Imgur uploads. I'll add it to the list!

~ occasionally links and other tappable things do not respond until the app is force closed and reopened.
~ why do some bookmark threads have a red color link to unread posts and others are orange? I assume it's supposed to be threads you are quoted in or something but it doesn't work. One thread unread count is always red and no other.

Since I got my X the reason imgur gives me for never allowing photos to upload has changed to 100 rather than 1. Same result, though.

There are a few additional symptoms for this one.

The status bar text goes from white to black with an upward wipe, as if something slides up over it.
~~Something slides off the screen downward.~~ not sure on this one now
The navigation bar eventually appears floating over the thread list, but with no visible controls on it.

Also you can get out of the preview loop by canceling and hitting the post button. It will be sitting there ready to post. Not sure fit his helps track it down. It happens 100% of the time for me.

Edit: Screenshots, �good� status bar state, bad state (links don�t work) plus lost navigation panel.

While we�re at it, you�d probably want to make liking tweets possible in the forums without needing to open twitter itself first. Idk how but the android version works that way.

I also noticed something changed in the twitter app itself where if you try to share the tweet with any other app, the URL is super jacked.

It was this. Updated it and it fixed images in embedded tweets for me so I hope those other issues people are mentioning are unrelated.

e: as for liking tweets without going to an external browser tab, I'm not sure how we'd do that since embedding tweets is literally pointing twitter at a tweet URL and saying "replace that with whatever you want to." If it's configurable somehow, let me know.
