I think I saw a regular embedded mp4 lag today in the same way as the videos in twitter embeds. If it turns out that a WebView/chrome update made a performance hack necessary again that I removed I'm going to scream.

Am I imagining things or did spoiler tags use to just be clickable to see what's underneath them? That doesn't happen anymore. I can still manually drag and highlight text but spoilered images, not so much. For some reason timg tags aren't working either. I disabled them in the settings and now they just load like images which is probably fine, but it's weird, it's like the app no longer recognizes me clicking on stuff like spoiler tags or timg thumbnails. Any idea what's up?

There's a bugfix coming, it's stuck in the beta test version right now because of Google shenanigans. One workaround would be to join the beta program temporarily, which should update you to version 3.8.15.

The forums list just says "long press to add" with no forums. I feel like this happened before and there's a way to fix it but I can't remember what that is. Forcing a forum list update didn't help. Bookmarks still work, as does the last board you read entry in the menu, which is how I navigated here.

 You can find (an updated version of) the current release here.The link will stay active until the update goes through or, well, probably permanently if it doesn't. You can find instructions on what you need to do to sideload the updated app on your device here. But let's be honest, if you're reading this, you probably already know how. Please make sure during the installation that it updates the app. I don't know why it shouldn't be updating your pre-existing app, but that's the point. Funnily enough the release notes were going to be quote:We are constantly working on Awful to make it worse for you. To stay up to date, make sure you continue to receive updates.

Google play robot posted:Thanks for contacting the Google Play team. Steps 2 and 3 are "fix" and "try again" I'm taking suggestions. I'm thinking a checkbox during login with a link to the forum TOS, or to a (non-binding) comedy GitHub.io page that outlines "GCP".

Sereri posted:Steps 2 and 3 are "fix" and "try again" It's been years but I remember getting a similar rejection from Apple's App Review. I think I explained all of: • Accounts can only be created through the website, which requires agreeing to the terms and rules. • During account creation, what constitutes inappropriate content and behaviour is made clear. • No app usage is possible without having an account created via this process. • Other users can be added to an ignore list. Ignored users' posts and avatars are hidden. • Human moderators respond to all reports of objectionable or inappropriate content. • Moderators respond swiftly to all violations by removing the offending content, banning individuals who repeatedly misbehave, and updating the rules defining what behaviour and content offends. • Rules updates are immediately enforced and are promptly communicated to all moderators and to all users. I remember approaching it like "what could the reviewer parrot to defend approving this app to their boss". They want to cover their rear end, so here is some coverage without any gaps (as presented).

The appeal box was capped at 1000 characters and I made some of these points. It requires a person reading (and caring) though  As far as I can tell the appeal process is concluded and I can try with the next update

Starting a few days ago, I suddenly can no longer directly open imgur links into the imgur app from the awful app. I've opened all permissions etc and nothing changes, made sure both are updated, all that jazz. I'm on a Samsung galaxy s22 ultra. Is this a bug, or did something possibly change in a recent update with either app?

Android periodically nukes the configuration of which apps have what links.

I'm having this problem, too, but I'm pretty sure that the problem is with the Imgur app. If I tap an image in Awful and choose to open it, the Imgur app opens to the image, but never swaps to be the active app. Pressing your softkey that shows all opens apps will show Imgur is open, but it won't switch to it. Even if you close Awful.

Just got the newest update for the Imgur app, and it's a little better for the problem. It still doesn't switch to the Imgur app, but if you select it, it'll load the image like normal. I'd say that's proof that the Imgur app is the problem. Captain Invictus posted:for their crimes of web2.0ing imgur and the app, they deserve it

Yeah it feels like they fixed whatever was wrong since I can now open images and such into imgur again. Or maybe it only worked the one time. But I choose to believe crisis averted!!

The one I had it happen on was hosted on Imgur, so I'm blaming them by default.

So I did a quick scan of this thread and didn't see a similar issue posted, but if this ends up being a duplicate or known issue, I apologize. I recently noticed the 3 dot menu on posts doesn't work anymore on my phone. I've used it in the past to make where I stopped reading so I could pick up where I left off on PC or when i come back to the thread later. Other 3 dot menus in the app work fine, such as the one in the post editor or for the thread as a whole. Using Awful 3.8.15 in Pixel 4u in case that impacts anything.

Are you able to update to version 3.8.16? There's a fix for the three-dot issue that went out in that update.
