I don't see it on the git issues page or the last 2 pages, sorry if this is commonly known: Twitter embedded videos have been super hosed for me in the app for at least 6 months. They desync immediately and skip around in both audio and video. Unrelated, and probably not app related, I sometimes click on what I think are TIMGs from Imgur, and it takes me to imgur. When I then click again to maximize it's clearly been reduced to like 600x400 so any text is unreadable. I can't figure out how to get to the full sized image to read the text. This doesn't happen on my PC. Is there a way to tell imgur the app isn't mobile or something? Or is?

Scaramouche posted:Twitter embeds are usually Twitter hq rate limiting the apps request against the API. For the last 6 months I have had to watch every twitter embedded video in an outside browser. I have gigabit internet. I really, really doubt this random limiting. I have not seen even one video, viewed at 2am, work correctly. Edit: wouldn't other people be complaining? If it was impossible for anyone at all to watch twitter embeds? AARD VARKMAN fucked around with this message at 07:17 on Jul 4, 2019 |

I'm currently an IK in C-SPAM. I've been looking for a new Android hobby project. I am going to try and implement some rudimentary mod tools because I post 99% mobile. Anyone familiar with the project able to give me an outline for how they could be implemented? I.e. what class implements: Deciding if you can select "edit" on a post or not? I think it'll work with mod buttons. AARD VARKMAN fucked around with this message at 05:29 on May 18, 2020 |

Jeffrey of YOSPOS posted:The most important missing mod tool is making new threads It does show it. I'm trying to figure out a way to add 6ers to it. The fact I can hit "edit" on some posts means something is reading posts in a way that will read whether or not mod buttons are active. I assume this is going to be a huge bitch of trial and error but I want a project and even 1 week of being a single thread IK made me want it, so I bet a lot of mods would be happy.

also I'm motivated because I don't know how long I will have buttons, and I like having a bit of a deadline

Sereri posted:There's an extra t before the postid parameter, maybe it's that thats exactly what it is, I went specifically to test it and accidentally didn't change the one thing that I was testing because I changed the post ID/poster to someone else and forgot I then ran it again with the t removed and the link it shows in the results page for the second "Queued" probation is correct. which is interesting, I guess any second action on the same post might default to requiring admin approval? sorry admins also that "t" is there in the link to the probation request page

baka kaba posted:Hmm yeah you'll need to pop up some kind of dialog fragment - at a minimum with a text box to put a reason in, and have things like the 6hr length hardcoded in the request class (just a fyi if you didn't notice, the AwfulRequest constructor defaults to GET but has an option for POST, you add the params the same way) Right. For now I want to minimize any opportunity for causing real damage by just going as minimal as possible with a pop-up and POST request sent to modqueue.php. I think the danger is pretty low that way. Thanks for tips. be on the lookout for me accidentally probating someone ten thousand times or something

END OF AN ERROR posted:Just switched from an iphone to a Pixel 5, so obviously using the Awful app now. One thing I miss from using it on iphone, is I could long press on any image that was posted, and one of the options would be share, and I could directly share that image via text message on my phone. Now with the Android version, I have to download the image and then attach it like a normal picture message, or I have to share the URL, which obviously isn't the same as just sharing the pic. Under settings > posts, at the bottom, you can turn off always open links. Then a single click will give you a menu with a Share Url button. Might be what you're looking for? I will say a way to have "always open links" for single press and hold-down for that menu would be awesome. Edit: I can't read, sorry. I see where you said share url wasn't the same.

HTML avatars are kinda grandfathered in, when mods replace them we have to convert them to BBL code. If you see one of those avs you should PM Astral and he should be able to take care of it. If you can PM me a post by them in GBS I can do it. I've fixed handful of them when I see them on the app.

Jeffrey of YOSPOS posted:It seems kinda weird that that's a tap menu at all - I don't think anything would be lost if you had to long press to copy the url of an image. Could this have the unintended side effect of causing pop ups while scrolling through a thread? I keep my thumb down while scrolling a lot and the tap menu doesn't come up. It might be worth an options menu switch though.

I believe that's a known issue with the themed thread lists, though I don't know what causes it. Every once in a while it just happens until you restart the app.

bagmonkey posted:Hello friends! I recently started a thread over in The Geebis (thread for reference) and something I noticed while posting in there is that the Awful App doesn't seem to automagically video markup Youtube links like the web client doesn't. I was curious if there's a way we could potentially add a prompt for Youtube links or maybe add a feature to enable auto-vide-embedding? While I do work in tech, I have zero coding experience but would be more than glad to help with feedback, testing, etc Hit [bb] and select insert video. It even auto fills with your clipboard.

Flipperwaldt posted:Very rarely when you select text in a post and immediately swipe back to the thread list without dismissing the cut/copy/web search/etc popup, the latter gets stuck and can't be dismissed anymore. Not even by selecting different text or picking one of the options or something. Kicking the app out of memory and restarting it should work though. I have also had it happen about about once a month for years, even through multiple phones, yet until now I never gave it a thought more than "gotta restart the app" or "gently caress it I'm gonna finish this page anyway" lol

SeaGoatSupreme posted:The vast, vast majority of the time this app Just Works and I'm incredibly grateful, but sometimes with random threads it just will fail at loading the next page. One that seems to fail for three pages in a row is the gbs trump thread, the three most recent pages. I can't really view the thread until *whatever* some idiot did isn't in the page. I assume there's no fix possible because of how nebulous this is, but I'd love to know why poo poo goes sideways. I went through 12/13/14 and I don't see any unusual media across all 3. More YouTube videos than usual, but not on 14, and someone embedded an image from Steam on one page, but only that page. Try disabling embed options maybe? (On 14 at the time of this post the only media is a single quote of an imgur embedded still image)

Flipperwaldt posted:Is not insert image the way to attach an image? How would you do that otherwise? There's "add file attachment" in the 3 dot menu, but otherwise the only way to add an image in the Android app has always been insert imgur or already having an uploaded url to img tag. I vote keep the insert imgur button in the app until an alternative is available
