I was thinking it was the app but I can't get GWS to show anything but the contents of TCC on my browser either. Is this a normal thing?

TCC was renamed to GWS. The Sub Forum is where you talk about food.

I never even noticed because I mostly only hit up my bookmarked threads, and rarely on a pc. Pretty clever, and kratom users are getting a double laugh.

Thank you! I'm an old so devices mostly piss me off, and I navigate to subforums by forum id most times, but the app doesn't let me do that. I promise I expanded every sub before asking, that name is a little too clever for me.

Is there (or could there be) a way to make emotes animate automatically without making all gifs animate automatically?

I have gifs off for bandwidth reasons but emotes are tiny and some are invisible on the default frame so you don't even know they're there. :cb: <-- for example

I've wished for this too, as well as the same thing for avs. Obviously not real badly or I would have asked by now, but someone else did so here's my me too.


E: durr reading comprehension, Bloop was talking animation. I just meant displaying at all. I'd never turn off animation.

Disabling animations is really a performance thing at the mo, so it's not really intended as a "don't load off-site gifs because they might be big" bandwidth saver. Might be able to add an option in though

yeah the custom title area can have all kinds of stuff in it, our layout just strips out everything but the text. If we included images it would look a mess, could have like half an avatar in there and whatever else. It would be nice to handle things like donation titles and gang tags but it doesn't really fit into the layout we have

Is there a reason why this app loses my place on a page so often when I click a Twitter link or otherwise allow it to lose focus? Is there another SA app that doesn't? It's a pain in the rear end to always be forced to scroll back to wherever I was.

Winifred Madgers

It doesn't do that for me, are you on the latest version? I seem to recall a few versions back some people had more of an issue with that kind of behavior. May also be your phone specifically, and one time I've fixed bad behavior by uninstalling and deleting all data, and reinstalling, so that may be worth trying too.

If your phone is either so crappy or running so many apps that it is very low on RAM that's going to happen. Close some poo poo

I don't see it on the git issues page or the last 2 pages, sorry if this is commonly known:

Twitter embedded videos have been super hosed for me in the app for at least 6 months. They desync immediately and skip around in both audio and video.

Unrelated, and probably not app related,

I sometimes click on what I think are TIMGs from Imgur, and it takes me to imgur. When I then click again to maximize it's clearly been reduced to like 600x400 so any text is unreadable. I can't figure out how to get to the full sized image to read the text. This doesn't happen on my PC. Is there a way to tell imgur the app isn't mobile or something? Or is?

Twitter embeds are usually Twitter hq rate limiting the apps request against the API.

Losing your place on the page is when it swaps in/out of memory due to other stuff/gc on your phone. Lotta potential reasons for this one.

I get this if I switch to Firefox to see a tweet, them copy it to email or send via Hangouts, or both, then finally switch back to SA but my phone (Pixel 3 XL) has low RAM relative to its contemporaries from last fall. It's my main complaint about the phone, in fact, and this is one of the only cases I have of it unloading something so fast. If nothing else works you could simply mark the post in front of you as last read them switch apps.

The Pixel 3 uses a new and by most accounts significantly worse memory management scheme from prior Pixels. My Pixel 1 never drops things out of memory (in what is pretty much the exact same flow) and it has the same amount as the P3. Obviously there are a lot of variables, but in this case it's almost certainly the phone's software. Some say that excluding apps from battery optimization helps, so maybe try excluding Awful and see if that does anything for you.

For the last 6 months I have had to watch every twitter embedded video in an outside browser. I have gigabit internet. I really, really doubt this random limiting. I have not seen even one video, viewed at 2am, work correctly.

Edit: wouldn't other people be complaining? If it was impossible for anyone at all to watch twitter embeds?

Well I just watched an embedded video in a tweet within the Awful app and while it's 4am and not 2am, I feel like it's enough to disprove your theory.

It's definitely Twitter's fault.

I mean Twitter doesn't really work for me with the awful app. Embedded tweets are ok but videos are not

The Twitter rate limit isn't against you personally, it's against all users of SA. Wouldn't surprise me if we're up against it event at 4am with all the dirty euros they let in over my protests.

Every thread I open leads to the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure anime thread. This includes the link to this thread in the settings menu. Open this happens whether I open the thread from inside the app or if I follow a link in Chrome and use the app to open it. The thread has the correct name but all of the posts are about JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. The read count on the correct thread are updated as though I were looking at the correct thread.

Help.

Edit: I closed and reopened Awful and now all the threads are blank

2x Edit: I rebooted my phone and it's fixed now.

The only way this could be better is if you've never been to the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure anime thread and had no idea what it was prior to this happening.

Because this is an Amazon device you'll need to update the webview however it is they do that.

I don't think it's possible unless they send an update down in the OS. Don't get a Fire HD if you want things to be easy or actually work.
