Was there ever any insight on what might be behind the “disappearing quotation marks” business? I just had it happen to be and it’s the weirdest drat thing.

Oh is that a thing? I thought maybe I was just very high or dreamt it but I definitely had a post eat my quotation marks

The PYF meme thread just had some quote spamming of very tall images, that I wouldn’t expect to be very big file sizes, and should only have to cache in once, but for some reason loading those pages seems to take a long time, like I would expect opening a gif-packed page of the schadenfreude thread, for example.

Is this a quirk of the process being used to convert the forums page to the app’s format? Or is my internet just extra poop today? I feel like it affected both cellular and WiFi loading, since it did it again after I got home and hit next page.

Also my phone might just suck I guess, but thought I would ask here! The double tap feature was great for skipping the posts in question once the page loaded though :)

Edit: after this post the meme thread went hard on tall posts and apparently started crashing the Android app, sorry I brought this evil into the world.

I accidentally swipe back sometimes which loses my place in the thread but it’s easy enough to go back one page and set it manually again. I’ve never intentionally used it, always like this :shepicide:

I will chime in with the super useful "it depends on the avatar," some things on the current size look strange as a thumbnail and I end up pressing on them to look at them larger. Those avatars will probably parse better at the higher size, I am excited to try it!

Yeah, now that it's not as bold as it used to be, it could maybe stand to be a lighter shade? It's harder to read the join dates and post date/time than it used to be

I've been in the test flight beta version now for about a week, and while it looks nice, it feels pretty dodgy

I feel like any embedded tweets or videos really bog down my phone (XR). The schadenfreude thread is hitching a lot as I scroll down the page. Like when I come upon a post with a tweet in it or some other embed, the whole app hiccups and stops scrolling for a bit. It just feels like all sorts of embeds really bog this version down?

Also I will click a link in the thread and when I'm done, my page position will have reset to the top again. Almost like I went out of the app and came back, but this is the first time seeing it happen just from viewing something in the Awful browser.

The old version definitely got slow on pages with a lot of embeds, but this build seems to struggle even if there's only a few embeds on the page.

Yeah pretty sure it just updated today. Version 60209

Here's a recording I took just trying to scroll down page 147 of the schadenfreude thread just now. I'm about to reboot my phone just to see if it helps any, never seen it struggle like this.

Edit: okay post reboot it's working fine so far with embeds. Guess my phone just had some memory leakage or something, dang.

YouTube Shorts aren't embedding, according to Astral it's an app problem and the forums handles them fine? Posts from the tech support thread:

Tenkaris posted:

On the subject of YouTube link parsing:

I just posted this video yesterday in the awful app thread and noticed that YouTube's vertical "Shorts" videos do not embed, so i just slapped URL tags on it. I didn't deliberately upload my video as a short, I assume it's just automatic since it was a recording from a phone in portrait mode and I guess that's just what they call videos in that orientation.

Just thought I'd bring it to your attention here while on the topic, YouTube Shorts only launched in August 2021 so it's a relatively new thing for the service, and the added /shorts/ in the URL is triggering the blacklist. Hopefully an easy addition! 🤞🏻

Is there a way we can keep our bookmark from updating if we click on a post from the leper's colony? I think the forums themselves don't do this on browser, but the app definitely still does it

Edit: well maybe it got added to the beta version but I got tired of the performance issues in threads with heavy embedding and having to renew it every x days

When are things going to update on the live branch btw??

It looks like we lost “swipe to remove” bookmarks over the new update. Was that intended? I’m not particularly tore up about it as I would occasionally remove one without meaning.

I noticed its absence too but like you, I tend to do it accidentally sometimes, and the long press option is perfectly fine with me instead, I don't need both :D

I love the app, I’ve been using it for many years, and very much appreciate the modernization updates. One thing that always gets me when I come into this app is the “swipe from the left edge to go back” thing in this app is very unforgiving when compared with pretty much anything else out there. The point where you have to swipe from is almost pixel perfect, as opposed to other apps where sometimes it can be done from anywhere on the screen.

I know it’s such a little thing, but the inconsistency with most other apps definitely stands out.

I used to do that on accident constantly and now barely ever do it, I wonder if it was downsized?

i saw the rap sheet tab and got confused and thought it might go to my rap sheet. when i clicked on it and saw other people's probes i was able to comprehend what had happened. perhaps others had a similar experience. cheers

I have not had this experience with the Leper's Colony tab, since that's not exactly the same thing as a Rap Sheet.

BUT, I do hate when I check out a punishment and it's from a bookmarked thread and it updates my bookmark.

Oh poo poo. I'm not on the test flight yet, and I'm using OLED dark and I've noticed a lot of UI text and the page numbers/arrows are now sometimes black on black, that's probably what's happening

It's still pretty easy, y'all are just real angsty about having to do it slightly differently. Like you can literally have the shortcut in your share sheet, then bam it's been uploaded and it's in your clipboard?!

Like, please get over it and just use the shortcut, this is stupid to repeat this exchange every week
