Somehow the jump to last read post is not happening for me. Goes to the first page of the thread. Any suggestions?

[mchookem 16330]

ditto mantis...was just coming to say the same. 

and it just started happening in like the last 30 minutes, was working fine earlier this morning. 

[immamac 42843]

I fixed it for you because I'm tired of explaining it to people

Click on your name at the top left of the screen, account settings, content view behavior, and select "Take me to comments I haven't read". 

Instructions don’t make sense on mobile. 

[immamac 42843]

then...use your brain and say "how would I use the mobile menu navigation to do the exact same thing since those buttons exist on mobile" lol

 

[mchookem 16330]

thanks...i followed instructions on Monday after the upgrade and it fixed it. i haven't changed anything since then, definitely haven't changed my View Content Behavior setting, and since it literally just started happening within the past hour, it seemed reasonable something else had happened. sorry.  ☺️

Alright I had already looked here and found nothing. Went back and discovered that “Settings area” was defaulted to hidden, and I had to notice the triangle to know to expand it.

Tells people to use their brains but misspells “threads”.

I don't have a brain.

Yeah long overdue. I was planning to do it in October, but couldn't find a time that I thought was appropriate

[bad_teammate 13195]

Embeds not working for me. Strange.

Whatever, this is a big improvement and huge props for the work @immamac

Some thread links (out to Twitter or Reddit or what have you) in Safari on iOS “crash” the phone back to the Lock Screen. Anyone else seeing that?

Yes. Happening quite often.

Yes...and when it locks I get a message that says “zoom enabled”.

[Buzzrock 14918]

It doesn’t seem to happen in Chrome, but Chrome doesn’t render correctly on my new 12 Pro Max. 

[immamac 42843]

Weird. 

[Buzzrock 14918]

Here’s an example of a post that crashes every time I click on the Twitter link. 
 

 

[immamac 42843]

Device/Os/browser?

[Buzzrock 14918]

12 Pro Max / 14.2.1 / Safari

[Buzzrock 14918]

I upgraded to 14.3 and had the same problem. 

[SilasCoade 2622]

This setting has done fuck all for me since the update. It goes to the last comment on every thread no matter how far back the last read comment was.

I’ve been having serious issues posting pics in Tapa. Anybody else having problems? It tries to upload, goes immediately to 95% and then gets hung up before telling me it failed. Takes 3-4 times to get it to finally go through sometimes.

Same issue. I’ve emailed the Tapa people numerous times and they don’t have a fix.

It tends to do better if you choose the smallest file size but I still get errors pretty regularly.

The other recurring issue I get in Tapa is ads audibly auto-playing when I have my phone on mute.

[immamac 42843]

that's weird since the site change shouldn't have anything to do with uploading to their servers. Uploads don't save to my server it saves to theirs.

The tapa photo upload issue predates the site upgrade.

Do I get this? $10 seems worth even if they patch it soon in the actual board software. @shadow_operative2.0 what say you?

[shadow_operative2.0 15971]

My shadow op brother is the one that really wants the Insta embed option, but yeah, $10 ain’t breaking anyone. 

[immamac 42843]

who's the one that posts a bunch of instagram hoes? 

[shadow_operative2.0 15971]

Me, but I host the urls. Derka wants to embed all the hoops Instas.

I pretty much gave up on picture posting. It was only slightly less of a beating than going to Walmart.

If I threw in an extra couple of bucks and got vetted and everything would that work?

Probably not. Some stealthy Shitheads would exploit it.

Oh well. Theater of the mind it is.

When I click a thread, I no longer get taken to the first unread post. Just page 1. Was fine a bit ago

I'm small taters.

You got bigger fish to fry. 

After Photobucket quit working and then I couldn't figure out Imgur because old and me no sabe. I never did take to tapa. Every once in a while if I absolutely had to post a pic I could download straight from the phone. But, I could see where granting downloads to any idiot that happened to wander in might prove problematic.

Like I said, you got bigger problems around here than me not posting pictures of flowers.

you can upload directly to surly...no need for photobucket or anything. just paste you pic in or drag/drop it into the reply box.

are your settings correct? go to account settings -> content preferences and select the thing you want.

[immamac 42843]

neither of you had the setting correct. I fixed it for you.

I've never uploaded directly to surly like Ima posted, but I like to have a catalogue of images I've uploaded available elsewhere. The other option is to host it somewhere online, and right click or long press on the image and select open image in new tab. You may have to do this twice on some sites, but you should eventually end up with a tab that only has the image with a URL that ends in something like .jpg. Copy that URL, and then hit the "other media" button at the bottom of the posting screen. Select the "insert image from URL" option and paste the URL in the box. It should then insert the image into your post.

Mine changed as well. I fixed the account settings, but if there was an update that changed it for a bunch of folks it might be helpful to put a sticky or banner at the top of the site with a link to how to fix it.

[immamac 42843]

I'll do that today. Weird it changed.

Surly offers image storage in our gallery as well. The gallery can be private and have custom permissions where no one but you can see the images. It also has the capability of allowing you to have custom copyright and even sell particular images. 

Maybe I should make that feature more prominent so people will upload their UT related picture. The only thing in the terms is unprotected images can be used by surly in tweets and stuff like that.
