Also, while looking at the smiles menu while doing this post, a whole bunch (But not all) were showing double.

So twitter vids no longer play inline for me, on iOS 10.3 on an iPad. I'm signed into my account because they'll open right up in the twitter app, and I can click through to reactions etc

I think it’s an issue with “clicking” in general, not just spoiler tags. I’ve noticed issues hitting links, buttons, and ignored users’ posts too.

Yeah, I’ve seen it with spoiler tags and trying to play GIFs since the latest update went through yesterday. I’ll click them but get no response. If I leave the thread and reload it, that seems to fix the problem. I’ve also seen things previous posts not loading or scroll to the end jumping down one or two posts, rather than going all the way to the end of whatever thread I’m reading.

FWIW I don’t think I experienced any of the problems with tags that others had mentioned having in the past prior to the update.

Spoilers, clicking profiles, Tweets, etc., are still maybe 50/50 as I had posted about a while back. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don’t. Usually I can reopen a thread and spoilers will work, either by going back to the parent forum or my bookmarks, but sometimes that doesn’t work. :shrug:

Filter is working for me now with the update.

However, can I put in a fairly low priority request to add or update more of the tags in the app? It may just be the ones I happen to have bookmarked, but a number still use the generic thread tag in the app.

Pretty sure that happens at the end of every month, it uses one imgur account that runs out of monthly uploads.

Is this the same reason the app has trouble opening twitter sometimes? Like, I’ll click the link and the app will try to open it, but just say “website name” at the top and stay there. Restarting awful app usually fixes it, but I’ve never noticed before if it only happens at the end of the month or not...

If SA's not quite dead, I'd like to suggest a minor feature for Awful. Would it be a lot of work, and something others don't mind, to make pressing the bookmarks button when already viewing bookmarks scroll the page to the top? Just a way to make refreshing the tab more convenient.

I’d just like to second this idea if it’s feasible, as it seems handy if you have a long bookmark list.

A weird just started happened after downloading the latest version of the app (Awful 4.6 according to the settings page): When I click on a thread that has new posts, it’s opening at the top of the page where I left off, rather than right at the new posts.

For what it’s worth, it’s occurring both from the forum view and bookmarks page. I’ve gone through about 15-20 threads and it’s happened for all of them. Current iOS 13.6, iPhone 8.

EDIT: And after making this post, it also went back to the top of the page.

Has anyone else seen the app having trouble loading or lagging a bit more than usual the last day or so? I was having some trouble scrolling and typing yesterday, but assumed something on my end. Today, I’ve noticed it stuttering a fair bit while loading pages, and some lag while typing again.

It’s not consistent, for example it’s not happening as I’m doing this post. I don’t know for sure if it’s an app issue or the forums being the forums (Always a possibility), but I haven’t noticed it with any other apps I use or seen anyone else mention any issues with the forums at large today. FWIW, I’m on iPhone 8, iOS 14 and current version of the app.

EDIT: Maybe related, maybe not, but after making this post, this thread still remained buried in the middle of my bookmarks thread, even showing me as the most recent post there, rather than moving up to the top. :shrug:

I’m not sure if this is an app issue or just something changed with Twitter, but I’ve noticed the last few days that trying to switch the orientation of Twitter videos that are playing pops me back to the thread and stops the video. IIRC in the past, rotating my phone horizontally would change the video as well, rather than stopping it completely. It’s not a big issue at all, just wanted to note it. Most recent version of the app, iOS 14.1, iPhone 8.

Not sure the app has any control over this, but if I play a video in a Twitter embed, then full screen it, then rotate my phone to landscape, the video stops playing and I get dropped back to non-full screen. This is quite annoying.

Since the subject of saving stuff came up, did the option to save images somehow get removed at some point? I know it was present in the past, and I had basically the same options as shown in this post from 2019, but for a while now it’s been missing for me:



The "Save Image" or "Save to Photos" isn't anywhere on there, or in the Edit Actions button. Is there something in the settings (Be it for AwfulApp or the phone itself) I need to switch to get that option again? I'm using an iPhone 8 with the most recent iOS and app updates.

Heh, you responded while I was editing my post to include the quote of you answering the same question for someone else from a few years ago.

Anyway, I did some playing around and it was in the phone settings itself. Somehow, the Awful setting for photos had been changed to "Add Only", switching it back to "All Photos" brought the save option back, in case anyone else ever has the same issue. :)

Has pinch to zoom/unzoom in the app been finicky for anyone else as of late? It doesn’t seem to register but I can’t tell if it’s my hardware being dumb or something weird with the app/OS.

Yes, I’ve had the same problem. I thought it might be from updating to iOS 15 (iPhone 8), as if the sensitivity for pinch to zoom/unzoom had somehow changed, but I don’t know if that’s even a thing or not. It’s not nearly as smooth as it used to be.

Here ya go OP:



Works as well as you could hope, isn’t bound by the app’s API limits, won’t result in your pig testicle photos getting purged*.



*Maybe.

Also, I thought part of the rational behind removing the direct img-to-imgur as it was in the old app was due to imgur's rules changing and all the nonsense related to that, since those links now may die much quicker than in the past. I don't know if there's a better alternative to imgur that's available/preferred at the moment.

Small thing: The new update (I literally just downloaded it a few minutes ago) makes it take a lot longer to save a picture in the app. Before, I’d press on an image and it would pop up and give me the option to save or copy or whatever within a second at most. Now, I have to hold the press for a good 3-5 seconds before the image will be selected.

Current iOS (17.3.1), SE3, if any of that matters.
