I just made a post in yospos where the preview screen used the default theme instead of either the yospos theme or the dark theme, which I've enabled. I don't think I'm able to replicate this.

Is it hard to capture the screen height and do the threshold as a percentage?

Can we either

a) move “PM” to the end of the user action list, or
b) have “PM” always present but greyed out without plat

so that the position of the last two items don’t change depending on whether or not the targeted user has plat? I don’t like UI that moves or disappears, generally!

No, I mean when the person I tap on doesn’t have plat the rap sheet button is in a different place, because PM disappears.

If I had an alt it would have plat, I’m classy like that.

The grey bar is back, this time in the notification areas around the notch on my XS Max.

It pushes all of the content down a tiny bit.

Unrelated, I'm also getting an error when I try to upload the cropped screenshot.

If I filter a thread by someone's posts, and then use the bottom menu and select "Last Post", I should end up on that user's last post on the thread, or art least on their last page of posts, but instead it removes the filter, and I get taken to the last page in the thread.

I was just thinking, what if we put a crude pixelation on all the rejected thread icons? Half as a joke, half as an easy way to have the same colorization and appearance.

Can that be done through code?

I was reading some old thread where people were doing the "this user sucks" "add them to your ignore list then" "but that doesn't work when you idiots keep quoting them" dance, and despite it being the billionth time I've seen that in a thread, it finally occurred to me that Awful could solve that problem. So I wrote up a lil description of how ignoring quotes might work, in case anyone's curious and/or feeling industrious.

Weird bug that I don't know if you can do anything with:

Sometimes the keyboard will not autocorrect the last word in a reply preview, but it'll post with it autocorrected.

EDIT: it might be not the last word in the reply (especially with punctuation), but the last word you typed into the reply, wherever it is within the reply, if you haven't punctuated or moved the cursor off of it.

Trying to figure out if this is just me. This raises concerns with the accuracy of post previews.

This is kinda fascinating actually, and I can come up with a plausible-enough explanation for why it might be happening, so I don't think it's just you. Definitely adding it to my list.

I've seen this here and there but also can't reproduce it reliably. I wonder if it has something to do with having the preview open, then switching away from Awful, and Awful gets kicked out of memory? When you come back to Awful it might restore the wrong theme? Anyway, I'll add it to my list.

Makes sense to me! Question is which way to go. If we move it to the end, then we'll have to keep moving it around anytime we add a new action to the list. On the other hand, showing a greyed-out action, while super common on macOS, isn't really that common on iOS.

That reminds me, I should add the Android tag back in.

It's a combination of a) App Review being capricious and b) my lack of desire to argue with them. We probably could win the debate about whether the dong in the Sex thread tag is "Overly sexual or pornographic material", but the effort just isn't worth it to me.

Them rejecting the Android tag makes absolutely no sense to me at all, but see explanation part (b). Here's the whole list, if you're curious.

It's working as intended (so in that sense "not a bug"), but it's confusing and ultimately unhelpful behaviour (so in that sense "is a bug"). I've got it on my list to fix it.

I doubt it'll help, but the reason I did it this way originally is because I'll sometimes do this:

1. Spend ages making a post.
2. Post it.
3. See that someone replied while I was making a post and want to reply to them.
4. Edit my post to quote that reply and then reply to it.

I can easily admit that the general confusion isn't worth my niche use case.

I apologize if this is already well known (I've only been following the last few pages), but what's up with Twitter embeds lately?

1) Videos don't play; you can tap to "activate" a video, but then it never starts playing

2) Some tweets have this blue quoted subtweet attached to them, and the formatting is all weird, with blue checks misaligned and the blue text sometimes getting partially cut off (can't find an example of the latter just now):


3) Tweets with images sometimes squash them to the wrong proportions (I think if they're taller than a certain threshold):

Twitter discontinued a bunch of its APIs a few months ago.

Also Pokeyman thanks for picking up on the new grey bar issue. I reinstalled this morning on the off chance that might fix it and it was fine right up until I selected a new app icon, at which point it froze. When I force quit and restarted, the grey bar was there.

I'm on a new install again and it hasn't come back yet.

Gonna hop on my design box:

I think adding stuff like that, when it's easily accessible through the iOS control panel, only puts Awful in a worse place of bloat. It would be better to get into the habit of toggling it at the OS level and building up that muscle memory to make it feel seamless.
