I figured out how to post images from Imgur (I have an account there)

You just have to fiddle with the url imgur gives you for your image

Think I just had to changed the URL tags to TIMG

So if I have uploaded images on my account there my images will continue to load in SA?

you just have to long press the actual image on the imgur app after uploading and it'll bring up the share sheet for the image itself. like this

Ok let me try it:

Ok I think I figured it out: if I grab the share link immediately after uploading it to my Imgur app it gives me the page's url instead of the actual image's (which has the .jog file). I just go back to my album and grab the correct url.

Yeah, HEIC is annoying that way. You can make a shortcut to select, convert, upload, and link a photo from your library:



It will use the Imgur app so whatever you’re logged in as there.

That’s a shortcut for the shortcuts app that will upload to your imgur account so that the images don’t get purged after arbitrary timeframe.

I think your awful.app is out of date, as it shouldn’t upload images anymore because of the imgur changes making all those uploads ephemeral

Don’t know what you’ve done but having the app randomly turn my phone into a vibrating dildo simulator is suitably goonish

I'm getting this in particular if I longpress on text on a thread view, starting a highlight and thus Doing A Haptic — it seems to get stuck Doing A Haptic so it vibrates repeatedly as I drag my finger around (no turbovibe occurs if you release and then drag an individual selection pin, nor if you initially select an entire word by double-tapping and then drag for more). I can also trigger it from scrolling if I longpress a visible scrollthumb before dragging; pressing and quickly dragging a scrollthumb only causes the single Haptic Shake as is presumably intended.

Note that the persistent vibes only occur within the thread view! Even if I follow the same procedures above (which reliably trigger the Haptic Madness in a thread view), I have not seen/felt any such Haptic Madness within a post composing screen, nor within a post preview, nor on a user's profile.

The latest app version currently has an intersectionobserver on the posts view so that it only plays the ghost animation for posts currently intersecting with the viewport (i.e. will be seen) and stops playing when the post is no longer intersecting.

Could probs use that to quietly fire off a Mark As Last Read message on the first post preceding a currently intersecting post whenever the app moves to background or the user navigates away.

Something to experiment with after addressing the recent new issues maybe

I have the best inconsequential bug report.

Description: when you scroll a thread with certain conditions, it makes constant tiny haptic vibrations

Repro:
1. Turn on haptic feedback
2. Go to a thread
3. Tap BUT DO NOT LIFT YOUR FINGER on UI element that would pop up a context menu, e.g., a username or the “…” at the bottom right of a post
4. Rest your finger there for a moment
5. Drag your finger up or down to scroll the page
6. Result: the page scrolls as expected, but every tiny bit you move emits a vibration

Expected behavior: idk I guess that it scrolls without triggering the haptics

…but really just reporting it so other people can try! It’s fun!


(Also thank you thank you for this app and the recent update, super slick!)

On the off-chance you're not being sarcastic:

I use "mark as last read" all the time, generally when I want to bookmark my place in a thread when I either don't have time to read the rest of the thread at the moment or occasionally when I want to post a reply before reading the rest of the thread.

Thanks. BTW, I uploaded a gif months ago for a pretty niche thread through the feature. It racked up 14000 unexplained views over a short timeframe, and then went back to being unpopular. Was there an automated crawl of imgur stuff by the SA servers a few months ago, or a bug hammering imgur links? If not then no worries

Before I discovered the "Mark Read" button I was a slave to the curse of always having to read to the end of the page before I could swipe out and go on with my day. Do you know how many times I have been sitting in a plane waiting to take off, speed-reading a thread to get to the end so I could pull-refresh another page to have 40 more offline posts to read after the plane leaves the tarmac and before someone gives me the side-eye for not having it in airplane mode??

you can load a bunch of pages ahead and it gets cached in the belly of the CoreData beast, so then you go back to the page you’re reading and read along normally without internet

only up to about 7 pages though, or something. I used to do it when I commuted on the subway

i like the new update, but can’t see the leper’s colony. the place where it should be in bottom menubar is populated by a nonfunctional rap sheet button instead. known issue?

edit: maybe not entirely nonfunctional, it seems to load in background? my network is a bit slow at the moment so maybe there are images down in the feed significantly slowing the load?

There were multiple bots crawling imgur to create backups of images from SA threads at some point.

I’m on a slow hotel network as well and loading someone’s rap sheet takes an absolute age for me as well. Not sure if it’s from the app or just being on a crappy network, and I wasn’t going to mention this, but since you did I will.

Commie kong’s explanation of text sizes might be helpful to people with this issue, in case you missed (though probably doesn’t remove your benefit in providing feedback)

commie kong posted:

Just wanted to explain a few things:

2) On font sizes, particularly the thread view page count: fair enough. I'll bump that up. It was actually even smaller during beta and has been bumped up, but will do so again even more. That's easily done by theme properties (tho we have to use offset values to do it, which I'll explain below).

Some of the other sizes have changed slightly, but that's because hardcoded font sizes were used in some places. The size offset change was done to make these text elements adjustable per theme while also improving dynamic text support. The hardcoded fonts did not respect your iOS dynamic text settings at all. Now it does and some additional work was done so that people using the smallest / largest possible dt system settings don't make their copy of this app look too crazy. We removed the extremes based on beta feedback.

Since we aren't using set font sizes for things any more, we have to use offset values. That means we use one of the Apple defined styles and then make it bigger or smaller based on a positive or negative number. And the affect that has depends on your device and dynamic type settings. Which makes things a bit trickier, so sorry about that.
