OK digging around in the default app settings i found twitter links uncheckboxed for fenix. Rechecking them fixed the problem. thank!

Android 12 made so that app owners can verify they own a domain so that you never see the open with prompt. That is good for official apps, but makes it harder for apps, like unofficial Twitter apps, to handle URLs for sites they don't own. I use a package tracking app and for the last couple updates I have had to go in and select the USPS, UPS, and Fedex urls out of a huge list in the permissions screen to make it handle them.

Ten years ago when the app was first released there was pressure, overt or otherwise, for OPs on something awful dot com to be 10,000 words long and have a bibliography section. The original developer Ferg decided that was annoying to do on the phone so he opted to work on other things and successive developers have had enough other things on their plates that nobody has gotten around to it yet.

Oh huh, I thought it might have been a mod-decreed thing, like a "We can create threads but actually the radium developers / moderators really hate when we do that bit of functionality" lol. I coulda sworn that I have posted at least one thread via this app before it was disabled. Maybe that was all a dream though :ohdear:

I still don't have "search" back :(

When I got the update that said it fixed search, I got a new "Dictionary" option, which tries to look up the selection in a dictionary I don't have installed. No "search" option like there used to be.

I have Copy, Share, Select all, Dictionary, and if I click the three dots I get Create new task.

Starting Tuesday maybe, I'm getting greeted by an empty window with the message "Long press to add forums", or something like that. I can swipe forward to get to my bookmarks, which is where the app had been loading before.

Hello friends! I recently started a thread over in The Geebis (thread for reference) and something I noticed while posting in there is that the Awful App doesn't seem to automagically video markup Youtube links like the web client doesn't. I was curious if there's a way we could potentially add a prompt for Youtube links or maybe add a feature to enable auto-vide-embedding? While I do work in tech, I have zero coding experience but would be more than glad to help with feedback, testing, etc

Oh I know this and have learned due to my own mistakes! However, as evidenced by my thread, I don't think all other users are aware that you need to take the extra steps. I've only really recently gotten the hang of how to use the Awful App productively (thanks 5kpt) so my request was also coming from the place of someone who only recently learned how to properly use the UI

On desktop I have a bookmarklet to hide/remove non-image posts when reading a thread. It's useful for skimming image threads. Does the app have any functionality like that?

Listen, I've been around a bit, you know, and I thought I'd seen some creepy things go on in the movie business, but I really have to say this is the most disgusting thing that's ever happened to me.
is there a way to disable the '... / copy / share / text search ' floating text bar entirely? I'd never seen it before, I don't want it, Ave now it hovers over every post

edit: this has made the app basically unusable, I have a floating bar in front of every post. is there a way to downgrade back to 3.8.7 because I am otherwise driven back to using mobile chrome

edit2: maybe it's working correctly again after a reboot?

Very rarely when you select text in a post and immediately swipe back to the thread list without dismissing the cut/copy/web search/etc popup, the latter gets stuck and can't be dismissed anymore. Not even by selecting different text or picking one of the options or something. Kicking the app out of memory and restarting it should work though.

I've had this happen two or three times in all the years using this app and never thought of it being worth reporting.

I have also had it happen about about once a month for years, even through multiple phones, yet until now I never gave it a thought more than "gotta restart the app" or "gently caress it I'm gonna finish this page anyway" lol

A setting for toggling ads display please.

I though of this after reading this thread (warning has yet another lamentably filthy text post by me (no goatse)]:
https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3995836&pagenumber=1&perpage=40

It would make our new forums owner happy, too. The default could be "No ads" so you have to opt in, with a check in the program that screen size is sufficient before allowing toggling on ads (I use a pad so not an issue on it for me).

I can't reproduce this, sorry. I got my hands on a Samsung Tablet with Android 12 and it's working there.
I even went to Samsungs "Remote Test Lab" service and tested it on a S20FE. The second phone I used credits on even had internet :shepface:. The web search option showed up in the three-dot menu.
I'm not saying it's your fault but it seems like it's a "you" problem. Did you maybe do something special to your phone? Custom rom, root, whatever?
Maybe its just some stupid locale thing? Are you on English (US) or some moon language?
