Not sure I can reliably recreate it but I have a really minor issue with post previews. Sometimes after clicking through to the preview where it would normally change to the ‘post’ button, it just constantly loops back to the preview. Backing out to the thread view and hitting the post button again skips the preview but works correctly. iPhone 8+ running 12.3.1

The most niche of requests? Can we have the ‘unread posts’ number in the WinPos95 stylesheet be a bit more contrasty / readable?

In the new beta, if you have a url on your clipboard (the idea here being it's an image url), you can paste it with [img] around it directly from the copy/paste menu. Use this with the imgur upload iOS shortcut to get around the app's own upload issues

I’m not opposed to taking it back out. It’s no problem if you want to block it. Apple gives some stats but they’re pretty vague as something like 40% of people using Awful have consented to sending analytics and crash reports to app developers.

Just because it isn't everyone doesn't mean that data isn't useful, and there's nothing being collected via crashlytics that lowtax doesn't have and hasn't already (rightfully imo) handed over to the feds when asked for it

Like to float a minor feature request that might not be as simple as it sounds; I semi-frequently click into the wrong thread from bookmarks/forum view. When this happens I need to load previous posts, which usually will cause a lot of scrolling or a page change, then find the post above where I came in, then mark it as read. What I'd like to be able to do is choose a post and press one button to mark the previous post as read. How feasible is it to either add a button to the ... panel that does this or possibly even change the current "mark read" button to behave this way (or even, I 50% jokingly suggest, make it togglable in settings)? I imagine the current behaviour of the button is a very easy mapping to the same button in the forums; is my request particularly unreasonable in terms of how easy it is/isn't to make a button on one post refer to the previous post?

Whether the solution is simple or not, I think it's probably a pretty common use case. I do it a lot myself. It's definitely a side effect of a fundamental forum design issue, so I'd want to tease out potential X-Y problems first, if possible.

Loading the one post before the one you're up to but anchoring the top of the screen to the first unread one still would work, right?

I continue to be in favour of providing some solution to this. I like making "mark unread" what the button does, because that's how virtually all other software with read state works, but this is previously-trod ground.

I see this weird thing from time to time that I don’t think I’ve seen mentioned, but some certain unread threads can get sort of stickied just below pinned threads and don’t seem to go away as long as they’re on the first forum page. It seems to generally be some thread with 0 replies, maybe also locked, and it gets placed properly when I open it and it then has no unread posts. I do have the app set to show unread posts first, but these are threads I’ve never visited. One particular, current example from SH/SC: This “Measuring Viscosity...” thread:   I’m gonna open the thread and see what’s in it and report back/edit this post. e: 0 replies but unlocked. Marking it as unread does not cause it to go back to the top of the thread list, it stays where it was in its read state. fourwood fucked around with this message at 17:54 on Jun 26, 2019 |

I'm having an issue on the latest version of the app and iOS where the yospos buttcoin thread is appearing twice in my bookmarks. I have tried unsubscribing from the thread, then refreshing and quitting the app, but it always comes back again. The last read marker and unread post count is out of sync between the two occurrences as well. This has been happening for a few weeks now I think. Is there anything I can do?

I don't think I've seen this one in the recent list. In iPad landscape at least, latest app/iOS as far as I know, if I load a thread with sufficiently few+small posts unread on the page that the unread posts are smaller than the space allocated to view them (so like, 39 read, one unread post of a few sentences, a bunch of black below it) then the first pull-for-next-page fails and nothing happens no matter how far I pull. Second attempt always works fine. It seems to affect pull-to-refresh too having just tried that for giggles.
