It's the new Oreo icons where they can be circles and stuff. If you're using a launcher like Nova that can use them too

Hey so I switched to Nova launcher to avoid the new ugly adaptive oreo icons, which worked for a few days but now the cool awful frog is trapped in a box, like if I had the reshape legacy icon setting on when it's off. Anyway to go back to the old icon so my frog can fly free, as well as not being the only icon I have now with a box?

Is there a way to make the top bar showing the thread title and the bottom bar showing the page number minimize or just disable it? I use my phone horizontally and it's super claustrophobic. tia

Sometimes even I load the app up (from the bookmarks shortcut on my home screen) the animated "data is refreshing" circle never goes away. Even if the threads' post unread counts look up to date. Has anyone else noticed this?

You can turn on immersion mode in the settings to free up some space on your screen.

If you hold on the icon and choose Edit, then tap the icon and choose Common, you should have it in there!
The transparent frog is still in there, it's just down to your launcher which version of the icon it displays

Yeah immersion mode is your best bet right now, making the title bar disappear is awkward with how the layout is designed and other stuff. It would be nice to work it out though for sure

Yeah sometimes that gets stuck for some reason. FYI the spinny circle is just the "I'm refreshing the display" indicator right now, the loading bars at the top of the screen are the actual "something is loading" ones. If those get stuck, then there's an internet problem somewhere

All the time. However, the latest version that went out has solved it for me (for now). I'm on the beta branch so I'm not sure if it is a beta branch only thing right now.

I don't know what this thing is, and I don't care. I'm just tired of seeing your stupid newbie av from 2011.
Definitely gonna second the disappearing bars suggestion. I keep immersion mode on, but having them say disappear on scrolling down and reappear on scrolling up would be wonderful.

Just updated to 3.5.0-beta

I'm guessing its the 'stuck following a direct link to a thread' fix that's done it, but reopening the app dumps you back to the forum list every time instead of the thread you were reading

Is that intended?

I came to report this as well, looks like you know about it so I'm just making a no content post.

Thanks for the app.

Here's a thing, and maybe there's already a way and I've missed it because dum


If you click a quote link to jump to that post you basically lose where you were since there is no way to open it in a new "tab" or whatever. Is there some way to be able to jump back to wherever you were last, like the back button on a browser might do?

I've accidentally clicked a quote link before and got lost and it sucked.




Seriously, thanks for the app, though. It's great!

The back button does this already, at least if the link goes to a different page or thread.

Thank you for the reply, but unfortunately under common the only awful icons are just the new icon in duplicate :(

I must be thinking of when it jumps up the same page and everything is already colored as "read"

It's not a huge deal, in any case.

Is the app absolutely sticking with the frog as the icon and opening splash? It's not a big deal obviously, but to the casual observer it looks very alt-righty.

Can we please make the spinner a swastika and change the theme to red?

LOL, no worries, I can see it being a thing if you're on mass transit a lot. It's just my favorite question is all because it speaks to the horrors of the world today in a way that would be totally incomprehensible to the future anthropologist. :)

It was a valid question when I asked it before and a valid question now.

I'm more concerned about its effects on others than myself. Microaggressions (whether you like that term or not) exist and are bad and generally easily avoidable.




It is also not a major concern by any means


I love the frog, but it is sadly problematic.



efb: I do love the sociological implications about just how loving weird it is that this conversation even needs to happen at all.

But it is A frog. And in the app icon and splash screen it really looks like the Gab logo.

This is what Hindus must have felt like when the Nazis appropriated the swastika.

Things mean things dude. Right now, a frog in to online discussion means white power Nazi scumbags. I'm not demanding it be changed - after all I can just put the app in a folder and hide my screen during the splash screen if I'm in public - but it'd also be cool if there was an option to switch to :staredog: or whatever

Generally speaking I would be far more concerned with someone reading the lovely posts I am browsing, not the cartoon frog that flashes on the screen for a second. Most people who know what the gab icon looks like are probably alt right anyway. Just make sure to wear a "PISS TAPE IS REAL" hat on the train so nobody gets the wrong idea

Somehow Marvel made like 10 movies with Thor in them, even though White Supremacists have co-opted Thor's Hammer as a racist symbolism. I think we'll be ok.
