I bet it's got something to do with the stupid habit some people have of editing their posts to quote something that someone else posted after them.

I thought it was an admin taking out posts entirely

Hi there first of all happy new year and thank you for this life saving app that I have put tons of hours into. Thanks for making a baller app!

I play the party game Mafia on this forum so I appreciate you putting in features like the "view only poster X's post in the thread." Currently to do this you track down the poster and click the option in their settings which is great.

However you can also post a link to the ? button as it were for people and see their posts that way, except the app does not like those links and just sends me to the OP of the unfiltered thread when I click the link.

For example in this thread https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3844977&pagenumber=1&perpage=40 (btw thank you for the feature to copy paste thread links on phone!!) You can see in the OP that there's a list of players with links to their ? history.

Obviously this is a very niche feature request but it would be awesome if the app could recognize those links and filter the thread in the same way that it does with the filter thread button in options.

Thanks again for making an app that has kept me sane on a very long overseas vacation and please enjoy your new year!!

I'll take a look but I'm not sure how easy that'll be. It should be easy! That's what I always say before I start trying to implement a thing, then the terrible secrets are revealed...

Sometimes when I click the arrow to go the next page of a thread I'm reading, the BYOB threadlist opens instead.

I consider this a feature since it randomly encourages me to look at cute dogs when I might not otherwise, but thought you might want to know about it.

It's not, it's horrible and some of the code still left from Version 1

We determined that you not posting threads is a net positive for the forums, and are considering removing the reply function as well.

I guess this will not help because the wrong people will read it but:

Please don't send emails to the app's address telling us how broken (or great or whatever) the app is. Post here. Or Post in that other thread. We simply don't read any of them and when we actually do read them, your email will be a month old.

The same goes for Play Store reviews. Except the reading part. We never read those.

Also preemptive "yes, twitter images do not work"

The weird thing about the twitter images being broken is that so far I can't really say it's made a huge impact. It might be because I don't read the meme threads and the like, but it hasn't really made me go "aw dang it I really need to see that picture" and the one time I did I just clicked it. (It was a picture of a reporter being swarmed by lemurs being compared to Dr Doom being swarmed by squirrels which was obviously pretty important)

Just something that needs updating in the twitter embed code, the iOS app had it too. There'll be a fix rolling out soon!

Don't know if it's just me or not, but being logged out of the app, every now and then the app will automatically pop up on my phone asking me to log in.

It does this randomly when I unlock the phone or over the top of another running app.

This is happening on both a Nexus 6 and original Pixel

Uh

there's no reason that should happen unless something's starting the app. Is the app actually closed (like not in your task switcher) or is it in the background there?

The picture should appear in that tweet without me needing to open up Twitter.

I have uninstalled Flamingo (Twitter app) and turned off WiFI to be sure my work isn't blocking it and it didn't fix it. I have all the settings within Awful to display images.

Any suggestions on what else to try to fix it?

Edit: VVVV I'm an idiot and should of read posts above mine. Sorry

For the millionth time, this is a change that Twitter made and the app needs to be updated to fix it.

...what? When bugs/issues crop up, people report them? That can be hard to come by. People like reading tweets and they don't like reading in-app advertising.

That's great, but I thought it was a courtesy to read at least the last couple pages of a thread before commenting.
