So today imgur uploads all of a sudden quit working. I relinked my imgur account in the account section of this app but when I try to upload I just get an immediate "bad request", anyone know what I can poke at to troubleshoot?

Android 14 running latest version of this app from the Google Play store.

It's been happening to me all day, too. It happened a couple weeks ago as well, but resolved itself within the day.

I did everything I can think of, I don't know if it's on the app side or on imgurs side. I uninstalled/reinstalled this app, reset my imgur password, logged out/logged back in and cleared cookies and poo poo. :shrug:

Did you log into imgur specifically in Chrome? Iirc I had problems until I did. No idea why.

I just tried this and reinstalled the Awful app to force it to reconnect my account (successful), still no go on uploading images.

I can confirm it's (not) happening. Either imgur changed something, or someone uploaded 1000 images through the app. I'll take a look later today.

If you want to avoid bad posts, then maybe this is not the app for you, pictures or no pictures.

This did come up recently, and no. You'll have to load each page in advance so it's all cached locally on your phone

Is there any chance that the "quote post" button on the ... Menu on posts in closed threads could be replaced by a "quote post to clipboard" function that works the same re: appending multi quotes? (The multi quote thing is not anywhere near as important, I can't think of one time I've needed it but I'm sure it'll happen eventually)

I occasionally find myself wanting to start a new thread to continue discussing something from a closed thread with a quoted post for context/breadcrumbs back to the old thread, for example a chat thread or a new megathread when the old one was already closed by the OP, and to the best of my knowledge there's no way to quote a properly formatted post with the quote postid and whatnot attached correctly with one click right now, you have to either reconstruct it manually or just get a life and not do that. And obviously neither of those are good options.

I don’t think there’s a way for the app to get the raw bbcode of a post in a closed thread.

So I accidentally swiped right from my bookmarks, which took me to my "favorites," except I don't have any favorites set, so it's a blank page. That's fine. But then, when I try to navigate back to the forums by selecting "The SA Forums" link in the side menu, it keeps bringing me back to my blank favorites page. Can't get back to just the general forums. It's bookmarks or nothing.

Closing and reopening did not fix it. Had to uninstall and reinstall. Obviously I'm going to try to never accidentally swipe to that page again, but is there something I was missing?

You can filter subforums to the ones you have favorited (even if none) by tapping the star in the top right and you can also undo that by tapping the star again. You're not the first to not find that very discoverable though.

So after some investigation, it seems like Imgur has removed the endpoint to upload images as a user (if you care, before | after). That is the endpoint we changed to after they announced they would start deleting images not tied to accounts after ????? time.

I'm leaving the functionality in for now because it might be a mistake and could start working again any second now, and I've also sent in a support ticket requesting clarification that I expect to be ignored.

As we're not going to switch back to the previous method, it's possible imgur uploads will go away.

In the meantime maybe throw Jeffrey some :10bux: for platinum and then upload images as attachments. Yes, I know it's less convenient.

Can't say I'm surprised. I expect Imgur's dumbass new owners to announce accounts being used for some lovely crypto thing (I know, redundant), but if you subscribe, you get a small amount of control over it, and/or some kind of AI thing, any day now.

Ah well. Still happy to have this app for the insanely low price of free. Thanks for everything!

drat. Can't say I'm surprised though. They took an app that functioned perfectly and turned it into a hosed up mess of itself. I still rarely use the app because for some reason the screen sensitivity is set to "first degree burn victim" and the videos play at a whopping 4 fps now.

Still love this app though.

Maybe give the option for thumbnailing an attachment, oh wise and generous mods/admins/spooky spirits who maintain this dead gay forum?

Ugh, that sucks. It really feels like imgur would prefer to just be its own environment where everyone goes to comment and vote on each other's pictures, rather than being useful to the rest of the internet.

Ironically, the new owners are hoping to become the next Reddit*, though that may have changed after Ol' Musky bought Twitter… They might want to be the next X…

*Ironic, because Imgur was originally created as an image host for Reddit.

this is dumb just revert the change if the old method still works

eventually we'll have awfulimg but the admins in the SOTF thread have said they'll keep scraping newer imgur posts anyways so there's no downside to just fixing the app to do what it used to

Agreed. Hide it behind a setting that says "I know I'm risking my pictures" if you have to, but it's better than not being able to post images at all

Not being able to decide where it will show up in my post bothered me. Even editing the post, it doesn't show up. So I'm assuming it just at the end of the post? It'd be an issue where I often use images, like using them to tell a story.

Yeah, it's functionally useless for me for those two reasons. Fine for some random one-off pictures, but not bigger things like posting comics or larger photoshops.
