hmm. can you share a screenshot of that?

I mean it happens with any quoted embedded video on a page. The schadenfreude thread in GBS is a particular culprit. Regular posts with mp4's work fine but the if someone quotes that post I get scroll bars at the bottom and swiping dies. I'm on the og SE by the way, not the new one.

Hmm, I don't have a simulator for said OG SE, but I can see how it might happen. We may want to move the embedded video width into CSS so that we can more easily make it smaller when quoted.

also (double post):

What do people think about an option to use postimages.org instead of imgur for in-app uploads? They look like they’d be much nicer to work with and I’m seeing them used more and more in the wild.

As a user I don't have a lot of loyalty about image hosting; if postimages is working better than imgur these days and seems like they'll continue to host images for free for several more years then they're probably a good fit.

This is going to be harder to fix than I thought, because the nodes we get back from nodes:matchingSelector in embedVideos seem to all be parented by the <body> of the document, so I can't find their containing posts to check. I could redo embedVideos to first find each post and then check for NWS before embedding contained videos, as probably the easiest path forward. What say you, pokey and carry?

embedVideos is working on an HTML document with just that post's contents. You should have the info you need there?

(This is admittedly confusing and I'm up for a change.)

Yep, same. I don't give a poo poo where images are hosted unless it's something I might want to delete later, in which case, I'll open the Imgur app and use my account. (This has never happened, but who knows?)

The only thing I care about for uploading is that it works consistently, and the built in imgur stuff hasn’t been too great for that because of its account limits. If the other site is better in that regard I’d be delighted.

Yeah I don’t care either way as long as it works.

I’ve just been using the shortcut since forever since that seems to be the most consistent.

Although multi image uploading has been broken for a while but that isn’t a huge deal.

Why does Agenda show up here as a password manager when I tap on the key thing next to the password field? Not really a problem just kinda weird.

That key thing uses iOS's sharing feature in an unorthodox way to find installed apps that claim to provide login info. It generally works ok, but my guess is Agenda specified an overly broad description of the kinds of shared items it supports. Maybe they always want Agenda to be an option in the share sheet? They should explicitly say they do not support login items though, unless there's some password management features built into Agenda. Might be worth a quick email to the developer or a post on their forum, if you're feeling it.

I didn't see anything super broken. Though I just thought of something that might need a fix (http links might work weird with a non-Safari default browser).

I should maybe clarify: I'm happy to look at widgets, I just couldn't think of anything sensible or funny to put in them. In iOS 14, widgets seem designed for known time series (weather forecasts, tide charts, calendar events), and they work by waking an app occasionally to provide such a time series. So a weather app can wake up once in the morning, download today's hourly forecast, then feed it to the widget for playback throughout the day without waking the app again. Awful doesn't really fit that, as I dunno how to predict when e.g. posts might appear in a bookmarked thread.

All that said, I haven't actually tried making one, so I could well be missing something!

How about adding a stock ticker as the widget? Just something as unrelated to SA as possible.

Yeah I was half kidding about adding a widget. There’s gotta be some way of adding something fun though.

It’s not allowed as an app icon but maybe our avatars could be scraped from SA and put into a square widget. You could also maybe choose which thread the widget takes you to - like a shortcut. The notes widget can do this.

Until the Forums tab broke the other week, I hadn't realized there were still people using Awful on older devices. Admittedly, I didn't try very hard to find out, so that's on me. I've been fairly aggressively increasing the minimum supported iOS version thinking that it'd make me more inclined to work on Awful. Something about not having to support old versions, and maybe if it was easier to use the cool new stuff in newer iOS versions? Anyway, I don't think it had any effect on how much time I put into Awful, so let's call that experiment a failure and support as far back as practical.

tl;dr is there anyone here still using iOS 9, iOS 10, or iOS 11? If you're on the beta, please grab Awful 5.0 when you see it, and let me know if things mostly work. If you're not yet on the beta, check the OP for a link! And if you've abandoned Awful because of the Forums tab breakage, check this version out as it should fix it for you.

I don't promise everything will work perfectly, and that's especially so for old iOS versions that I have zero devices still on, but keeping things running for day-to-day browsing shouldn't be too hard :)

It seems like if I click a link to a different thread, browse, bookmark etc, and then swipe back to the original thread, the posts don’t get marked as read. Going back to my bookmarks and clicking on the newly bookmarked thread takes me to the op.
