Ipad on iOS16.5, latest app version - the 'Open Tweets in Twitter' switch in my options is switched On, but tweets have recently started opening in Safari instead. I'm sure its just Twitter slowly dying but just in case.

So there is a bug where YouTube links are embedded even if they are behind spoiler tags in the iOS app. I have seen this happen occasionally.

This seems to have been remedied now, browsing on iPad opens twitter links in the twitter app again.

The YouTube embeds actually opening in YouTube recently started working again as well so I guess their API got fixed as well. That it iOS tweaked something.

this is what i am asking about.

the app uploads anonymously to imgur and people are actively using it, which will continue to be an issue for the site until that stops.

I've raised a GitHub PR that hides the imgur-related menu items and PMd pokeyman. If he approves and pushes it to beta and then live, this should prevent people from uploading to imgur from the app. Will save the full removal of the imgur upload solution for when there's a replacement candidate.

Have also been looking for an imgur replacement. I've looked at imgbb, imgbox, imgchest, postimages and abload.de but they don't seem appropriate.

file.glass does offer a public api key for applications, so that is one to investigate further. Might also reach out to lpix.org and see if they'd be open to taking on Awfulapp users.

What’s generally the easiest way to embed images going forward? Shortcuts script?

Keep using imgur and just let your images be transient, nothing so important that it couldn’t be lost forever has ever been posted on the internet.

I don’t care about the images I post. I’m just afraid it’s gonna cause more work for some volunteer goon who’s trying to migrate all that stuff to another server.

Speaking of images, when you press and hold in the app and select [img ], the next menu always gives ‘from camera’ as the first option. Has any goon ever directly taken a picture of themselves through the app? Wouldn’t it be easier if ‘from library’ was the default? Imagine the taps saved! It would be utopia, we would finally be happy.

It would be utopia, we would finally be happy.

The latest beta and soon to be live version has those From Camera / From Library options removed completely. The new behaviour is the [img ] option will either take an image url from your pasteboard and wrap it in tags OR it will wrap any currently selected text in tags.

But I take your point for when the feature returns. Goons posting fresh from the camera with the New Post screen up is a pretty funny scenario to think about.

---

I've been playing with fileglass but I'm getting timeouts with even normal < 1 MB file uploads. So that's not great. And their option to register an app is completely broken. So I'm raising a ticket and will see where that goes. I'd rather use a general service than dump thousands of new users on lpix.org, so I'm seeing how far I get and will reach out to lpix as a last resort.

If anyone has any image host suggestions, please share. My previous post shows the ones I've looked at.

:h::h::h:Alhamdulillah-chan:h::h::h:
The explanation text in the settings page (e.g. "Turn off the end of thread frog and dead tweet ghost") is scrollable, at least on an iphone se. I wouldn't have noticed if I hadn't managed to get my finger on it while trying to scroll down and then wondering why the hell it wasn't scrolling, so I assume that's not intentional.

Also thanks for disappearing the PM button at the bottom, for the past week or two, every time I'd open the app it's somehow switched to that view and then I have to dismiss a dialog telling me I don't have PMs.

I forgot that context menu was even there, but yeah I could see Remove Bookmark getting a little removed from those two, likely high-used, navigational options.

Alternately: Add shake to undo, everyone's favorite gesture.

I have some vague recollections that Shake To Undo was indeed a thing for undoing thread deletions, back before I disabled the Shake To Undo gesture on my phone. Does it not work anymore?

Iirc if you double-tap a post then it will jump to the next one. I turned it off because I would accidentally activate it all the time, with no quick way to undo the scrolling action, so mb it broke in this update.

I also have a feature re-request and a bug report, both dealing with the ellipsis menu!

The feature re-request, from... June 2022 :monocle::

Grace Baiting posted:

Reiterating this, while the new interface is being actively worked on:

Grace Baiting posted:

would it be possible (with whatever parameters these standards widgets give you) for this menu to list the poster's name as a title? The older version of the app w/ the custom single-post menu included the poster's name, and I've found it handy in the past!

It would be especially handy for the new interface's dotdotdot menu to be restored to having the poster's name as a title, especially for longer posts where their username is scrolled far off screen when you reach the end of them. Crude mock-up of what I'm hoping for:
Adding the poster's name to the top of the post ellipsis menu would be great!! (Notably their name was present in the old interface too, so this would revert a regression.)  plz fix tia <3


Second, the bug report: the ellipsis popup menu behaves a little awkwardly if you tap and drag across it, in that upon releasing your finger press, the menu will execute the action you initially tapped on, as well any other action you may have dragged to (though no second action if you dragged off the menu entirely, at least). The dotdotdot menu probably should probably not always execute the item you mousedown (fingerdown?) on!


Lastly,

Very solid! I love it. Seconding the note about the various headings and text blocks on the Settings page being scrollable within their pinned boundaries, which certainly shouldn’t be.

The end-of-thread frog is great. I get to the end and it’s like :frogout:
