Yes, when we’ve discussed it in the past in this thread, it has been decided by Pokeyman that it is a step too far away from the way the site itself behaves.

(I am staunchly pro-mark-this-as-first-unread.)

yeah. wouldn't make sense unless the site did it too and theres no way that's anywhere on a priority list plus it would upset trillions of goons.

maybe it could be a setting though.

The Great Twist

b_d posted:

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

Oh! Yes! I have the same annoyance.

No one left uncured.
I got you.
I fully understand why the mark-as-first-unread button won't happen but also I feel incredibly vindicated to know that this has been a repeatedly requested feature for literally four years (and that's assuming nobody requested it before I did, which probably isn't the case).

In June of 2019 I posted in this thread about it, describing it as “previously-trod ground” based on a previous discussion of it from an older incarnation of the thread. It’s a classic.

when sigs are visible, text-only sigs are indistinguishable from post content. that's not the case on the website.



i didn't take a screenshot but i didn't see one in light mode either.

more than once ive been tempted to reply to some sig that appeared to change the meaning of a post or be extra annoying in its context, but quoting reveals that it was never part of the post at all. spooky. anyway i think there should be a lil <hr> lookin separator or something similar. thanks sorry about the other day

Is there any way for the app to automatically load the previous posts in a thread? Having to scroll up and tap the option is…kinda annoying.

There is a setting (on the website somethingawful as opposed to the awful app) where you can enable bookmark colours.

Long press a thread (in awful app) to set the Bookmark colour!

It means there is an unread announcement, for the Halloween forum in this case.

You can turn it off if in the settings of your want.

Edit: oops I misunderstood what red thing you were talking about.

This is half-related to the Awful app but I've been messing around making a userstyle for the forums so it can look nicer on desktop. There are a lot of shared elements with the SpankyKong theme in the Awful app so if you like and use that you should add it to your browser and take it for a spin.

Question re: TwitterX embeds.

Post rebranding we are all likely aware that simply changing the URL to point back to Twitter gets things to embed as you’d expect* and the as is X links do not. Is that due to the app looking for the Twitter url to do the embed or because the website is busted af?

(* “occasionally”)

It’s due to the app looking for “twitter.com” URL to trigger the embedding.
