nah all the "extra" stuff in the av section is pretty random, there's no consistent structure to it, so it's just ignored unfortunately. Plus someone would need to think of a good way to display it in our horizontal layout

Where does the app export settings to? I need to reinstall but when I go to Restore settings I can't find the backup. Android 10.

In the import picker it's Internal Storage > awful and it should be in there

But it looks like if you hit Export and you haven't granted write permission, if you say yes it doesn't actually do the export - you have to hit Export again after granting the permission

that said it should pull in your prefs from the online backup when you install the app? doesn't hurt to export the settings just to be sure. All that stuff's pretty old but as far as I'm aware it still works?

I also noticed that it happens in the previous version as well, I have an old beta build of 3.6.8 and it does the same thing.
I checked and there is no error in the web console. Haven't checked the logcat though.

For those not seeing any issues, how often are you tapping images and selecting View Image or tapping embedded tweets, going out to whichever Twitter app is handling it, and returning? It's those two actions which cause it with almost 100% consistency. I should note that if I'm going out to my Twitter app (in my case, Flamingo) that I'm always doing so in order to view pictures in the tweet. For me it seems like the common thread is the viewing of images.

is this for the logout thing, or for the slow thing? Is the app restarting i.e. with the "Awful" splash screen, or is it showing the app straightaway? And if this is the slow thing, which part of it's slow - the splash screen, or the app itself displaying, or is the app loading (the main UI around the thread view) and the web view is taking a while to show up? If it's the latter, does the rest of the UI respond while you're waiting - swipe to other views, tap the menu and get a popup, etc

all right, looks like I tracked down the culprit, there's a cloudflare cookie with a 30 min expiry that's confusing the app

there's a fix gone out, until then it'll stay logged in 30 mins or as long as the app's open, which is until you look at a tweet amirite

Yeah sorry, I got it out as soon as I could but it can take a day to show up on devices, and the Play Store says that because of corona "expect review times of seven days or longer" - I don't know how that affects updates, but that might delay it

if it doesn't show up, and you're comfortable installing it outside of the play store, I uploaded the new release APK here
https://github.com/Awful/Awful.apk/releases/tag/v3.6.10

I dunno if that'll update the current one or install as a separate app alongside (might want to pick a different app icon in the settings if that's the case) but yeah, if it's gonna take 7 days for a fix to roll out then getting logged out every 30 mins is going to get old real fast!

if anyone got the update yet pls say so, I can't see the stats yet

Trip Report: Phone logged me out, but tablet is still logged in.


I don't think that's right. I never log out of the app, and I got logged out on both devices...

So the login expires after 30 mins, but it won't matter until the app restarts and has to reinitialise everything. So if you're not using your tablet enough that the app gets kicked out of memory, it'll stay logged in. You're probably using your phone more doing a bunch of other things so that's more likely to log you out

And you might have been logged out recently because your session cookie actually did expire, it lasts a year (and it's the same one on all devices) and because of an earlier bug a lot of people had to log in again around the same time, so that might be why it's hitting a wave of people. The fix should do it, otherwise I don't know what the heck

I always end all apps when I'm done with them (tap the Square button to show apps, then either slide them away or hit the trashcan/close all button). It's a habit that formed when I had very limited RAM on my first Android phone so I pretty much had to do that to run an app.

I don't know enough about how Android works to know if that makes an app have to restart and reinitialize, though...

nah it doesn't guarantee it, that's down to the system, it just signals that the app can be kicked out of memory - easiest way to tell if it's restarting is if you see the splash screen

it's also possible your tablet made you sign in before all this started happening, I had to log in a few days ago and this wasn't happening then. It should be fixed with the update anyway!

The cookie stuff is tricky if it's not happening to you - like the last issue was definitely A Thing, but it shouldn't be happening now. And we're not watching for logouts because that's a thing that naturally happens sometimes

Can anyone still getting it (and make sure you're on 3.6.10) check their cookies in a browser? You can hit f12 for Developer Options, in Chrome you go to the Network tab, load an SA page, click the request that's the name of the page (showthread.php, usercp.php etc) then tap the Cookies panel

basically there's 4 I want to check,
bbuserid
bbpassword
sessionid
sessionhash

don't post the values! just say if each one has a value, and what the expiry date is (or if the cookie isn't there at all I guess)

TheAardvark posted:

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.

The menu's built in PostContextMenu, if you want to add more options you can stick in a new entry in the PostMenuAction enum and then handle it in the generateMenuItems and onActionClicked methods

Depending on what the things do you'll need to implement some UI for that, if it's just like a "probe this rear end" button that fires off a request then you'll just need to create an AwfulRequest to do that (just look at one of the subclasses like VoteRequest, there's not much to it if you're just pinging the server)



The app doesn't have a concept of you being a mod or admin or whatever (since none of us are) but it knows if you have plat - the post menu thing checks that status by looking at AwfulPreferences (so it can decide whether to show the PM option - also good luck if you've never looked at that class before lol)

So it would probly make the most sense to do the same for mod options - get that info from somewhere, stick it in AwfulPreferences (it's more of a prefs and state object really), and then check it when you're deciding whether to add a mod option to a thing. I'm guessing you'll need to scrape that info from a page at some point - Jeffrey's been doing a JSON endpoint thing with a lot of useful info in one place that would be great for querying every so often and updating the app state, unfortunately the app don't work like that and I haven't had time to even look at it for a while

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)

Ideally you'd have a proper fragment with all the options, and ideally you'd get that page, parse out all the current options like the possible lengths, and kinda dynamically generate that stuff so if it's ever changed it Just Works

e- I guess this is the kind of thing where you need to be careful because if it goes wrong there could be extreme forums drama lol

Mr.Radar posted:

Feature request: override the size of text in Twitter embeds. It looks like Twitter is rolling out a new style of embed that has much larger text than the previous style. I set my font size for threads to 12 and it looks like Twitter is somewhere around 20 or 22 which is comically large in comparison:



Ideally the font size for the body of the Tweet and display name of the Tweeter would be the same as the font size of the thread text and the other text in the Tweet would maybe be a size or two down from that.

I've also posted this as an issue on Github but I'm copying it here for visibility.

oh hey thanks for the report

I replied in there but basically, it's probably not a good idea to go messing with embedded content, just because of the added complexity and chance for things to break. As far as I'm aware there's no easy way to force a maximum font size, so it would be something like running multiple passes over the page and targetting specific elements and rewriting them - and they could change things at any time

I haven't seen the big text for a while thought, is anyone still getting it? Maybe they gave up on that idea

yeah so that space has to allow for arbitrarily long custom titles, even on small screens, with the system text size cranked up

and really anything can go in your custom title, there's no consistent structure to it. We strip the styling (so the app can look consistent when it applies its own) but a bunch of the custom stuff relies on it, like the donation tags. Retaining all that and then throwing it in and hoping it always works is tempting fate

so yeah it would probably either go on a user profile popup (which would be a nice thing to have anyway) or in some messy row under the expanded post info bar thing, but ehhh it's not really a priority

If the app can't parse the probe message for whatever reason, it just defaults to 1 day, so that's probably why you're seeing now + exactly 24 hrs

It has to scrape the time in a very specific way (maybe a very bad way) so honestly any changes at all probably made it fall over
it basically goes
  • look for the "probation_warn" id
  • runs some regex on it that's hardcoded to look for "... until (timestamp). You [horrible monster or whatever]"
  • parse it as a date using MMMM d, yyyy hh:mm aa z

so yeah extremely brittle!

if you can just wrap the date in a span with an ID or whatever that would be easiest, just yoink it right out

Forgive me if this is the wrong place to ask, but on my wife's phone and account, when she goes to a thread she has read before, it always goes to the most recent page rather than the last post or last full page. I dont have the same issue and can't find a setting to change.

You mean, if she's read up to page 10 and there's 15 pages now, tapping the thread will open page 15?

It should always just take you to the next unread post, if there is one - so it should open the page that post is on, and if there are read posts on the page (and the hide option is enabled) they'll get hidden with the "tap to show" message

If there's no new posts, nothing unread, it should just take you to the last read post with nothing hidden - so the end of the last page, basically

Sometimes certain threads are haunted though so check if you can actually view the same thread maybe? You might get the same behaviour
