So I got a new phone and want to take my awful choices from my old phone to the new one. I hit "Export Settings" on the old phone and it says they are exported, but I don't see where. Can someone help me?

Oops, version 3.8.16 is only available through the beta program right now, the main release has been stuck in review hell I think.

I came here wondering why it took 4 months for Google to send me the update!

Am I missing something, or is there no support for quoting multiple posts?

Larry Parrish posted:

if you quote someone and back out but save the post and quote someone else you get the option to add it on. it's more awkward than the browser, though.

That works me!

You can keep doing it and quote many posts.

Something I've noticed in image threads (comics in particular) is that large image files hosted on imgur get increasingly blurry, to the point where text can be impossible to read.

Im just playing around with this, I see the same thing. One thing I noticed is that if I click on the image and choose to download it instead of display it, the downloaded file is the high resolution version that isn't blurry when I zoom in.

Is anyone else having trouble with spoilered text or thumbnailed images? I can't reveal/expand them all of a sudden on Android 13.

Oh, sorry, I misread what the issue was. I never use "insert image"; if I got the image URL, I just dealt with the code myself. I don't recall it ever having the option to upload an image.

Is there something that can be done so I can add YouTube videos to my queue without having to open them in the YouTube app? The videos play in the Awful app just fine, but pressing the three dot menu only gives me the option to share the video, not to save it in a playlist.

Just annoying having to switch apps to save something to watch later.

If it's on the desktop site, I'd guess it's one of the options you have set for the forums. Taking a quick look, there's an option to embed the "video" tags.



Sorry, screenshot of the desktop site taken on my phone...

I hate to inform you but the app has had imgur uploading for years. This update just adds account details so they don't get wiped at some point

And I used the app to upload to imgur for years until they changed their policy to wipe images that weren't associated with an account.

It was in the Google Play Store after all. Not sure why I missed it before. Just go to the page for Awful app and scroll down until you see a header mentioning joining the beta program. It's just one button click.

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.

I tried uploading a picture of the Last Supper where everyone is eating tacos taken at my local Mexican place, but, nope, still not working this morning.

It has 2000's era size limits on attachments that is the issue, not the ten bucks

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.

On a related note, is the Add File Attachment supposed to work with posting images? I can attach but I don't see a way to use the attachment inline. Example attached.



Do you mean when you click "... - > add file attachment"? As far as I can see, it shows up at the bottom of your post and you can't edit it. Though I see some code when I quote your post.

Oh man, have you guys mastered the imgur app somehow? Because if so I need to plead for you help because I have got nowhere with it.

I manage to get as far as this screen:



And then i tap "Post". That immediately takes me to this screen:



...and there's no indication that anything has happened. Did it upload? where did it go? how do i see it? Mysteries for the ages. I can't fathom it.

I did check my user account's Posts tab to see if it appeared there but... the only images that appear there are the above two screenshots. Which I emailed to myself and uploaded to imgur from my computer :rolleyes:

That happened to me the first time I used it, seems to be working okay, now.

But also, did you try this: (?)

Thorgot posted:

Hidden imgur uploads work but there's no obvious way to see them in the app. You have to tap on this header which is not an obvious button to switch to hidden.



Also, i find getting the url to the image itself annoying.

Tap on the image you want to share.
Tap on it a second time.
Then hit the share button with the correct link.

If you hit the share button on the first screen, it seems to only give you the url to the imgur page, not the image itself.
