It still happens for me. :(

I complained about it earlier, but it’s so intermittent that I’m going to have to figure out how to capture a crash dump of a dev build on my iPad rather than :justpost:ing in a simulator until it happens.

If Pokeyman surfaces and can dump some of my crash reports about posting, that might help too.

This is what I think of when I hear smilie keyboard, but even texting to myself all I can do is copy oversized images into the message lol

I feel like there used to be an actual SA keyboard app where you could use them just like emoji without this copying thing, but maybe not, I can't find it in the App Store lol

Commie Kong or whoever, do you have access to the symbolicated versions of the beta builds? I wonder if we could just stop stripping those builds to make it easier for non-Pokeyfolk to do work on crashes. (I also see a number of excessive-wakeup reports for Awful as well, which might point to a resource-consumption issue?)

It looks like that smiley keyboard needs a full rewrite anyway, I'd kill it off.

how hard it would be to add a way to look at user avatar history, there's a chrome extension that does it on my PC browser but it would be nifty to be able to do it from the app too!

Just gotta get the user ID and throw it to the site https://goons.neocities.org/

I think it is actually helpful that the smilie keyboard has a spare copy of each smilie for redundancy.

apologies if this is the wrong place for suggestions, but it would be nice to be able to filter the bookmarks tab like Apple Music or Spotify lists so you can enter a couple letters from the thread title you want to find easily. Maybe a “light” pulldown causes the filter field to appear, and a hard pulldown refreshes the tab?

Yeah or maybe sort them by sub forum at the very least.

I think if we do that we might need to move to explicit pagination, or it will be weird as you scroll down maybe zero rows to pull the next set.

(Finally got my developer program account set up, apparently it was somehow still tied to a previous job in a way that broke things.)

image upload on the forums is also a work in progress. currently attachment images are stored in the database. i wouldn't expect image attachment in this unofficial app until image uploads are sorted forums-side.

Yes. Tap and hold and an option pops up to view it in the actual YouTube app

How many people would scream if the smiley keyboard (i.e. the additional keyboard in iOS Settings that lets you use sa smileys in other apps) disappeared?

Do people use that? Because it's one of the things that makes replacing the smiley picker difficult. And I'd find creating something new easier than updating the current one

For me the smiley keyboard has had doubled entries for years and that rendered it kinda lovely and useless so my vote would be to have at it for a replacement.

this is an SA thing and not an app thing and it would make very little sense for either to change now. but i always wish mark as last read was instead mark as first unread. well, bye.

edit it is slightly more relevant in the app because every time i forget and click on a thread i can't pick back up right now, i have to load previous posts and find my way back there to get the unread back where it was before

But you have to scroll past the post to mark it, so the current behavior seems more intuitive to me, no?

not sure what you mean. if i click on a thread, the first post i see is one i haven't marked read yet. if i realize it has a big rear end video i can't watch right now i want to return it to unread so i can see it later. to do that, i have to load previous posts and then locate the post right above the one that initially loaded first, and mark THAT post as my last read. so to get back where i was before i need to load more posts and scroll
to the right spot.

if it marked as first *unread* instead i could just do that on the post i can't fully consume yet, and go back to the index.

doesn't matter since i don't imagine it will change

edit: oh if you're saying you have to have the post visible in your field of view and thus it only makes sense to say it is read, then i disagree. lmfao

I get the argument for making that change, but I think the main argument against it is that making it work differently than the website would be weird and potentially confusing.
