I was wondering if the was a way to shrink back down pictures you expand. If I click them again my options are to down load and other stuff but not minimize? Am I missing something?

Sorry if this is the wrong thread for questions...

Thank you for web search friend.

It works most of the time.. occasionally I'm asked if I want to define a word which for some reason removes the web search option but it's 99% better I love you

I hope that becomes an option for icons

I mean I set my pixel 4a to use the gray icons or whatever at the system level, and after the latest update it turned into this and I love it and Im laughing my rear end off 😐

It was mentioned in the patch notes

My main issue is that when I turn off the feature to only show new posts, it loads up poorly and places me towards the end of the new posts and I have to wait for it to load.. which takes 20 seconds and it doesn't land at the last post I read, but a later post and I have to wait for it to load then scroll back up.

Id be happy to post a video if your not sure what I'm talking about..

Still the best way to read the forums on my Android phone.

I've not had any issues with Twitter embeds or videos, but gifs don't load anymore... It shows up with a big play button then if I click it out takes me out of the app and up view it on imgur it whenever it gives from..

I probably have some settings incorrectly configured. It used to work life 3 months ago. I bet I tagged something in settings

I'm using the latest official release of the android app.. for the last... Maybe 6 months? Gifs show up to me like this.

Is there a setting to fix this or is it just not working for me?



I click the link and it opens the gif off-site at whatever address it was posted from in a firefox window on my phone.

It's driving me nuts!

Yay! thank you both so much... it seemed to be that I had disable gif animation on.... usually i wouldn't mind but people keep posting static gifs and its frustrating as hell.

I'm still not sure what "settings > posts > always open links" i didn't see any change toggling that.

Anyway! thanks! this has made my app experience much more enjoyable!

I kinda just wish the GIFs would show in that previous post i made, but if i clicked it, it would load instead of loading offsite... but this works!

Yeah, this is a Twitter problem. I have to go to the site/app to watch them.

Same. It seems to be Twitter making GBS threads the bed further. Shocking i know.

If you don't want to open the link you can pay the video then touch the video and move it up and down slowly and it plays pretty well.

Everything is working on my old Google pixel 3. I do wonder why highlighting text sometimes gives me the option to "web search," sometimes "bing search," sometimes a search button with my preferred browser's logo on it, and sometimes no search option at all. Doesn't seem to be connected to a specific thread or forum. Not really game-breaking, just something I noticed.

I've noticed that too... And that also week I select with search sometimes it just loads an already open Firefox tab with our doing the search she's I have to go back to the thread, highlight the text she select web search again. Very strange.

Question:

Is my imgur account I share family photos from going to be found out if I login to the app and share a pic? I assume not, but maybe it's a good idea to create a new account anyway...

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

Thank you for the update I love this app. I'm not a coder, but I do qa for a company and read pull requests daily as part of my job to see what has changed and how it will impact the rest of the code base.

I can read and understand code, but I'm very inexperienced in writing it.

The only thing I really do these days is taking already written SQL code and changing it to do what I need for my job to verify they didn't break something.

I was wondering if anyone would be willing to maybe help me set up a dev environment on GitHub for this app. I would like to look at the code and maybe, take a swing at some minor updates.

I'd like to learn more but I'm not sure where to start.

My end goal is to get Twitter/x embeds working again and also give the ability to have them redirect to nitter.net while following the rest of the link so we don't have to sign in to view the stupidity and can avoid the ads from ol Elon.

But I need some experience before attempting that if it's even possible

Wendigee
Jul 19, 2004

Okay cool. I had to create a GitHub account because my work migrated our repos to GitHub recently, but I'll definitely want to create a new account for personal use.

I do have PMs so I'll try following the readme and if I get stuck I'll reach out.

Thank you very much I appreciate it!

I viewed the page on my phone and it wasn't obvious... My brother learned to code with Java and he can probably help me a bit too.

Thanks everyone I'll follow the readme and try a setup tomorrow or this weekend depending on how busy work is.

My brother and friends are excited I'm looking into starting to do dev. They all started a few years ago when we all got let go from my previous job.

How much space do you think I need to start an android studio environment for this project?

I got a spinner with like 250 gigs I assume that's plenty?

Or would it be better to use 40 gb on an SSD? I assume speed doesn't matter much for compile time anymore

If you're that limited on space, install the Android stuff to spinning disk but the project itself to SSD. The project itself is real small but you probably don't want to waste all the space on the Android garbage on your SSD.

My only thought was that it being on the expected directory of c:\program files\stuff would prevent configuration issues further down the line.

This is from experience years ago and probably isn't an issue anymore.

Android space failed to install anyway because my CPU failed it's VT-x virtualization check which my CPU is supposed to support according to my checks.

Is there a goon discord for dork stuff like this?

Nerds seeking nerds? I can share info on 7 year old fiber storage array hardware that doesn't exist anymore or tips on how not to implement app features

I really doubt I need hardware acceleration through my CPU for this so I'm just going to continue

Edit: friend told me I probably just need to boot to bios and turn it on. My machine is old enough it probably shipped turned off.

I don't think I've ever seen a bios with vt turned on by default.

well, the install said it wasn't enabled and my CPU is supposed to support it... so its either disabled in BIOS or my laptop is broken yeah?

It's weird that it doesn't show up when looking up your own profile, but you can get your forums ID number by clicking on the ? button underneath a post you've made in a browser and grabbing it from the url. It's kinda funny in context that you can also do that in the app, but it automates it enough that you can't see the account number :classiclol:

Lol thank you. I knew about the question mark at one point but I forgot.

Good news is my CPU did indeed ship with virtualization off


I enabled that and now I'm fighting windows 10 system control panel to enable hyper-v... the location and phrases seem different but I think i found it.


Progress.

Going to uninstall the install from last night and reinstall and see if it picks up the virtualization.
