The thread's been moved to a forum you don't have access to, possibly a mod only forum.

Is it possible to add a Show Only Your Posts option to the three dot menu at the top of a thread page? The section with Post Reply, Unbookmark, Rate Thread, etc.?

Currently, you have to find one of your own posts, and choose it from the three dot menu on the post. It sucks trying to find one of my own posts in a thread that I either don't post much in, or that moves fast, leaving my last post 3+ pages behind in 24 hours.

heads up, the new Webview/Chrome updates broke the Find on Page toolbar so it crashes when you touch it... so don't do that!

We'll probably have to fix this ourselves so assume it's broken until the next app update that says it's fixed, tyvm

I love this app and it's really cool, but I have 1 request: Can you make it so that there's some way to open/zoom a timg? When someone posts a bugass screenshot and I have to quote the post, find the link, copy it manually and paste it into a browse, it make me sad. (FWIW, it occurs to me that the timg was from someone I have on ignore that I pressed buttan to show their post, if that's what's causing it.)

You sure? I just tried it and get the usual download/display/etc options on a timg in an ignored post.

Did this. No change.

The app is quite dumb. If the image does not identify itself via a file extension, the app doesn't know what to do with it.

Never the less it should still show still show the normal link menu when you tap it even if the user is ignored and you could copy the link from there.

Can you link the post or the one just above it?

Seems like inserting ignored posts is skipping our processing. Thanks for pointing that out.

Didn't even have to go to the steps to ignore that poster to test this

Hi, half a year ago I asked in another thread about fixing the pull-to-refresh so it would check if there were new posts on the current page instead of just jumping to the next page and I never said thank you for fixing it, so: thank you for fixing it!

Switch to the wonderful (and Chrome-based) Kiwi Browser and start swiping fruitfully. Like you I swiped out of pure habit... except it worked! It also blocks ads really well without needing any setting up, plus has other privacy features.

(No google sync though if you really need that.)

Random thing I could test but don't feel like doing: does viewing a thread in the app make you show up on the website list of accounts viewing a subforum? I would guess no, but really have no idea.

Yes, since the app is functionally a modified version of a web browser but with a better user experience. You're not browsing anonymously if you've logged in with the app.

That makes sense. For some reason, I had in mind that how the app fetches content would be different than how a browser does in some way, even though that was a dumb thing to think :saddowns:

ideally there'd be an API to fetch data instead of loading webpages and scraping those, but there ain't, so it's not a dumb thing to assume anyway

if there were I'd guess they'd still include you in the browsing stats though!

If the forums version wasn't old enough to vote it probably would have a REST API lol

Some more dumb questions.

Does this gfycat mp4 embed and play in the app for anyone? Is it supposed to?

I also just noticed that a saved post is thread specific. Maybe that's intentional.

Embed, yes. Play, no. It loads as a 0:00 so there's nothing to play.

No but the link is busted in my browser too. Let's try this instead :

e: interesting, that version plays in my browser but apparently not here. Also, lol, oh anti-food porn thread
