Feature request: Long press on links to copy them.

Reason: I'd rather open some links, especially youtube, in incognito, as they are often posted without context.

Settings > Posts > Always Open Links

Toggle that off. Tapping on external links will then open a pop-up with the options of Open, Copy, and Share.

So I guess I'm the only one with the Android app that's getting loading failed messages 100% of the time today? Typing this from a PC.

I just checked, and it's loading fine on my phone and my tablet.

I was going to suggest replacing Imgur with PostImages.org, but it appears there's no public API for that site. :(

I just had this issue. I went and logged in on the browser to make sure my credentials were correct and when I switched back to the app, my password was in the username field. I put my username in manually and it worked. Then android asked if I wanted to update my password to my username. Looks like something hosed up between the app and androids password manager.

Out of curiosity, do you use Chrome on your desktop and/or device? Google's been pushing their new password manager that's built in to Chrome pretty hard, so I wonder if that's the cause of the issue…

I guess the app doesn't like the new Friday Forum from the announcement. Tapping the link opens my web browser, and if I try to look for it under Main, it's not listed.

Yeah, but I just chalked it up to being a combination of my phone and wifi...

It used to show up in the three dot menu, right under the "desktop site" toggle, and now it doesn't.

I had this happen a couple of nights ago, and forgot about it until now. I have Firefox v177.1.0 on my phone, and v118.1.0 on my tablet, and neither one has the option anymore.

You have to give a phone number to make an imgur account now? Or am I missing something..

The new owners of imgur are evil, so that wouldn't surprise me.

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

It works the same way on my Samsung phone...

I'm looking for a way to send the below link to my non-SA friends so they only see one post. I'm not sure how this will look in Awful, however.

https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?action=showpost&postid=535260689

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.

I was going to suggest switching to postimages.org, but it appears that they don't have a public API.

My favourite thing is all those sites that try desperately to stop me from saving an image to my computer, only to be roundly and swiftly defeated by my secret cutting edge "take screen shot" key

Or using NoScript to block their script.

Yeah, Twitter is deliberately designed for tweets to be embedded in other sites, it's a part of their business model. Using discord to host images is just hijacking their bandwidth, they're not meant to be permanent links.

It's always morally correct to hijack Discord's bandwidth.

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!

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 may have been asked before, but is it the forums that randomly log me out, or does it have something to do with the way the app has to work?

It feels so random when it happens, and it always seems to be at the most inconvenient time for me.

Anyway, regardless of the answer, I'm still happy to have this app. Everything I get for $0 and 0 ads is just amazing.

Thanks again for doing hard work so that I can be entertained!
