I've found that the app goes to landscape really easily and then gets stuck in that mode, rather than switching back when i turn my phone back to portrait.

I�ve been getting this a few times the past couple of days.

A few bookmarks will load, but not all of them, and if I open one of them, it�s not the thread it�s supposed to be (ie not the one I pressed on)

Hoping this is fixed in the next version. By chance did you try tapping each of them? I bet at least one of them didn't end up loading the represented thread.

Actually both go to the right thread! �\_(ツ)_/�

Is there a fix on the way for favorited smilies never actually staying in the favorites list on the keyboard?

(iPhone X, newest store release- but I think it's been that way for a while)

I�ve had that problem for the longest time too. Even deleting and reinstalling didn�t fix it.

Awesome, works for me. What app do goons like to use nowadays for image hosting anyway

The imgur app itself is pretty painless. You can long press on the uploaded picture to copy the direct image link.

I�ve got a few threads I�ve let get into the several hundreds (and more) and since I�m back and forth across the Atlantic a fair bit, an offline mode would be great for me to catch up with some of those.

With imgur uploads still being iffy, I use the imgur app, and then copy the direct link to my posts. Could there be a [timg] tags option when you enter the [img] submenu to avoid having to go back and type the �t� for every one?

Yeah, that's easy to add. (Doesn't mean it'll happen on any particular timeline, but it's a good idea!)

Also, are Imgur uploads still iffy? Hoping they're a lot better in the current version. Let me know if it's still busted.

Yeah, I got this just yesterday:

I feel like I�ve been having real trouble pressing on links. Like, I can hard press them to bring up the preview which then loads into Safari, but it won�t load the browser with me just tapping it.

Awful used to open the twitter app if you pressed on an imbedded tweet, and now it just opens them in a Safari window?

Same here on both a iPad Pro and IPhone 11

I was able to fix it by uninstalling and reinstalling, but it occurred again within 10-15 minutes and caused the same problem.

I did the same (delete/reinstall) because I was getting the unresponsive blue bar/black screen (although that�s probably night mode dependant).

Mine�s been behaving since I deleted/reinstalled this morning, but I�ve not gone outside my bookmarks.

I�ve just realised that deleted all my smilie favourites. :smith:

Is there some way a future version of the app could hook into some api to integrate the official smiley aliases in a more native emoji-keyboard-based interface?

I think all the different sizes would make that incredibly fiddly to try and do.

I just want the repeating error to go away.

I don�t know if this feature is talked about in this huge thread but I would pay money for the ability to download threads for offline reading, even if it couldn�t cache embeds and such.

I think it is actually helpful that the smilie keyboard has a spare copy of each smilie for redundancy.
