That's the second mention of long pressing an image being supposed to do anything and I've never seen that in over ten years. What is it supposed to do?
Not much -- if the image has a title attribute, it shows the title attribute's content in a small message at the bottom of the screen. I think this only applies to user avatars at the moment, so there'll be a little message that says "___'s avatar". It may have had grander purpose at some point in time.

@Flyinglemur Thank you for checking, it started (and then stopped) failing for me too.

For me the problem is thumbnails. I can't click on them to expand or open in imgur. So I can't see all the funny, witty things that make this hellscape manageable

I was finally able to reproduce the loss of features, and just sent a patch to the developers. As a temporary fix on my device, I was able to
  • Install Android System WebView Beta from the Play Store, which comes with the WebView DevTools app.
  • Open WebView DevTools and change the WebView provider to the beta version.
  • In the Flags tab of the WebView DevTools app, search flags for EventPath, and tap to set to Enabled.
  • Fully close and restart Awful.apk. Features should hopefully be restored.
For those without the Google Play Store, I'd search for directions on setting runtime flags for your specific WebView implementation. I hope there's something like that available to y'all.

This is probably due to lovely work wifi, but I just had all avatars stop showing. I had to go to Settings > Images, turn off Show Avatars, and then turn it back on.

That has happened to me pretty consistently when I'm stuck with ultra low bandwidth (like when the power goes out and everyone in town instantly jumps onto the cell network at once).

since more forums than fyad can now have sigs enabled by default it would be cool to get an app option to respect forum sigs- ie, if i phone post in FYAD or IZ it should automatically check the sig button for me, like the website does. thanks and God bless.

The update is waiting for Google's approval to go out to beta users now. Should hit the rest some time next week unless the update deletes peoples phones again. Wouldn't want that again.

Big thanks to handle for all the changes that you'll receive soon.

The thing is, it's not all videos, some work fine. And also if you scroll while it plays the video runs normally-ish.

My guess is that they changed the video file encoding for most or newer videos and the WebView can't handle them.

I keep forgetting to save working ones to check. But in any case i don't think there will be much we can do unfortunately.

I mean I set my pixel 4a to use the gray icons or whatever at the system level, and after the latest update it turned into this and I love it and Im laughing my rear end off 😐

It was mentioned in the patch notes

My main issue is that when I turn off the feature to only show new posts, it loads up poorly and places me towards the end of the new posts and I have to wait for it to load.. which takes 20 seconds and it doesn't land at the last post I read, but a later post and I have to wait for it to load then scroll back up.

Id be happy to post a video if your not sure what I'm talking about..

Still the best way to read the forums on my Android phone.

I JUST saw one in another thread. I don't know how to check the encoding on it myself but maybe it would help you? :shrug:

I've not had any issues with Twitter embeds or videos, but gifs don't load anymore... It shows up with a big play button then if I click it out takes me out of the app and up view it on imgur it whenever it gives from..

I probably have some settings incorrectly configured. It used to work life 3 months ago. I bet I tagged something in settings

I have a maybe really dumb feature request: I like having 10 posts per page. But this means that I don't know if I'm near the end of the real (40 post) page or what the real page number is. It's it possible to add a small "real page number" above the page number, or maybe have the page for as "10.4" for the last quarter of posts on the real page 10 (which would now show as 44 for me I think)?

Wait, so we have an update coming at some point that adds Material You theme'd icon support? If so, that's very welcome news.

I got the recent update a couple days ago and the only weirdness is the Bookmarks shortcut icon widget is being a little strange. Immediately after the update installed when I clicked on the widget I got an 'App not installed' toast popup I assume from my launcher, and since then the last two mornings when I first try to use it I get that toast again and to get it to work I need to delete the widget and re-add it. Never had to do that before. Pixel 6a with Nova Launcher. No updates to Nova Launcher in that time.

Thanks for reporting this, another user is having a similar issue and I'm intending to look at it this weekend. I'm not sure if Nova Launcher is the built-in launcher, but if anyone encounters this, especially with a built-in launcher, please let me know!

It's not the built-in, but one of the most popular third party launchers for sure.

I'll switch to the built-in Pixel Launcher for a couple days though and see if it happens with that.

Yup, seeing this as well. Nova launcher on a pixel 7 pro. For the time being, I just swapped the bookmarks shortcut out for the standard app icon
