I don't know what this thing is, and I don't care. I'm just tired of seeing your stupid newbie av from 2011.

Ever since I updated my phone(pixel 4a) yesterday, the bottom post doesn't always load all the way. Like it will either be a blank post or only the text will be there and a linked picture will be missing. A refresh temporarily fixes it but it is super weird.

Same here, it's been going on a few days. Tapping the poster's username usually loads the bottom half

I also am not having any issues of that nature on a Pixel 4a 5g, fully updated and on the beta.

Now what I'm not sure if bug or just no handler, but there was mention that the forums now support embedded tiktoks, but they still show as links on the app. The only video embedding option I have turned off is twitch.

So it looks like spoilers don't work on unicode (is that the right term? The emojis on the phone) emojis. This is not the biggest deal in the world by far, but just wanted to put that out there.

There was a WebView update about a week ago that I assume did this. To the people this happens regularly to, is it only in the default/dark themes or the other themes too?

Just happened to me for the first time, but tapping the poster's avatar area made it load the post.

I'm using the Dark Theme, but I'm gonna switch to see if it happens again.

Apparently it's in a weird nether region between SA and the AwfulApp. I had posted about it in the tech forum and Jeffrey fixed it pretty quickly, but something on the app side may still be doing it

They work fine for me in OLED mode without any recent updates, but they are broken in default.
e: and no changes for either after updating.

Hey there, got a 2nd phone (TCL 20 5G) and noticed that the bookmarks shows on the right side of the screen (portrait mode) with the forum's index at the left side, like it is on a tablet on landscape mode.

My other device (Oppo Find X2 Neo) and previous ones showed the bookmarked threads in a single screen then you swipe for the index or back to the last one (full screen). Any setting to change that or is it a bug?


Nevermind, it was set to default layout and it seems that Awful detects the TCL 20 5G as a tablet, changing it to phone layout fixed that :buddy:

Is there a way to just type in a page number? Flicking that number dial to get all the way back to page 380, of a 1000+ page thread, is a pain in the backside.

I can't make a new post, only reply to existing threads. I might just be dumb and overlooking the button but I don't see the option anywhere.

Edit: I l see that the op mentions you can't create new threads. I must be misremembering making a post from the app in the past.

I'm getting a weird bug when I'm on Talkback mode, which basically ruins using talkback mode in the first place

when i swipe left/right to move the selected "read this out" bit, it bugs out when entering the hidden area which it shouldn't be reading out anyway, and scrolls several pages away. Bug shown in video twice:

I'm guessing this could be solved via aria-hidden attributes?

I have a negative zero understanding of how android interfaces work (something something XML?) and only like a .1 understanding of how that interacts with accessiblity, otherwise id try to help :eng99:

but thank u for being so responsive! It's very easy to test, i set talkback mode to be both my volume keys clicked together, and i had it in i think paragraph mode. it's just selecting something to be read out and swiping right to go to the next bit of content

another thing i noticed is that stuff before/including italics doesn't get read out, which isn't quite as bad but is still irritating

Switching from dark theme to default, and back to dark, either fixed it, or else reloading pages that you've seen before loads them fully.

Looks like the update finally is out on the beta branch. Last time the review was done in 2h, took 3 days this time. Probably the same again once it goes live for everyone.

It's near impossible to select some of the timg'd images in this post, particularly if you've accidentally expanded the ones on both sides.

It's also regularly impossible to click to reveal spoiler text that's adjacent to an image.

It's not that things don't work if I tap them, it's that images appear to be taking taps from well outside their displayed boundaries.
