Similarly, I'd like to be able to share a single post like I can online.

When I send someone a link it's instead the whole page, and they can't find what I'm trying to show them.

I clicked the three dots on your post and selected Copy URL. Is this not what you want?

They might mean share a post in a way where it looks nice and readable in other apps without having to go into the actual app.

For example, how you can share a tweet into messages and it shows up nice and formatted where you can read it without having to actually tap it and be taken into twitter.

I don't remember how you make the app default to bookmarks view. I thought it was a widget but I don't have the widget on the Pixel 8 Pro. Am I blind?

I guess they mean an app that doesn't require a :10bux: SA account.

Just buy your friends an account already.

Yeah, my idea is that it's easier to sell with a free sample kinda deal instead of having to pay the :10bux:. If they're at all into it I'm gonna buy them accounts, sure, but it's gonna be weird to tell them I spent money for them to post before they read a few threads

Long press on the app in the app drawer and you should have a bookmarks option you can drag out as its own shortcut

So that's how it works on a Pixel phone. Thanks. It looks a lot worse than a Samsung phone, though. That kinda sucks.

I tapped that link in Awful to see what would happen, and I got a toast saying, "Special notice from El Jeffe: That thread was not found in the live forums."

It then replaced the link with text saying, "Loading post. Please wait…", but nothing else happened.

Is it possible to put in a feature request to have the app not give me a pop up message when I get a PM from someone on my ignore list? This doesn't happen on the website and you don't get email notifications anymore either when you ignore someone but yeah TIL, still happens in the app.

I've only ever been on the web browser version of something awful like twice and I really didn't enjoy the layout compared to the app. I think a free way to browse the forum on this app would be fantastic and beneficial and hopefully help in bringing in a few new members. - a relative new user.

iOS app got x.com embeds and someone said it was added to desktop as well? Haven't checked to be honest. If this is someting like updating some regex somewhere or adding a thing to a list, can we get it too?

I just wanted to upload a picture I took with my phone with the awful app on that phone.
I tried file attachment mode. Asked it said I didn't grant file access permission. But in the app info on play it says that the app has requested no permissions so I can't grant any.

How do I beat post picture to sa from my phone these days?

i assume this is just How It Be cuz same, i tried a bunch of ways to "force" android into giving it the permission but it doesn't want it

the easiest way to phonepost from the app is to click [bb] and then Insert Imgur, if you log into an imgur account you can upload to it straight from there

I went through imgur. And it seems like the only way to upload from mobile without an account is to request the desktop site in your browser. Also annoying, especially as aweful has a button right there.

Also the app should have an automatic timg tags mode.

Not sure if you are aware but viewing one users posts in a thread then exiting the thread without going back causes the post counter for the thread to go negative:



Not near a non-phone right now so I'm not sure if this is an SA thing or an Awful thing. Opening any page other than the last causes the number to become less negative, and opening the last page zeros it out.

I searched this thread and didn't see a similar report

This happened to me once too recently. I have no useful information to add other than that but, yeah I've never seen it outside the app.

Yeah, sorry, it's an artifact of viewing a specific user's posts within a thread. Enough data is reused between the full thread and the filtered thread that unread post counts get screwy.

It's a known issue (in this thread at least)

Hello is the Android app still being updated on Google Play? Says last update was in April, so do I need to upgrade my phone? I mean I understand and accept, with a heavy heart, if it's been relegated to abandonware, but I would still like to view x.com embeds the same as Twitter before.
