It doesn’t move the thread up chronologically. I think it just takes a few minutes to do so, now that I’m paying more attention. Not a big deal. Just thought it was strange that my bumps don’t kick in right away.

I click on the Unstuck icon on my phone and it says “app isn’t installed”. What’s the link again?

What’s the status of making LIKES accurately notify posters? I make lots of fun photoshops and will confess I was starting to think lol wtf am I doing here, no one likes these.

Then I looked over them and wtf!!! Likes all over the place. One nominated for Best Of. But I was not notified of the likes.

I need that sweet sweet dopamine plz

It’s not nearly as satisfying to find out it’s up to me to fix this so let’s pretend we all complained about this for 1k+ posts until ggoreo figured out a solution

Has there always been a 4 MB limit for dislplaying gifs in a thread? Is there something wrong with my settings? Seems small, no?

Does this gif not display in thread for folks? It doesn’t for me (but does in the preview).

edit: well it displays now, but when I tried in my weight loss thread it didn’t. Huh.

edit: well I posted that other gif with an edit. Does that make a difference?

edit: No.

edit: anyway, why does the gif work here but not in this post?

Isn’t giphy a hosting site? I didn’t upload the image, I linked to giphy.

The first value is the error message I see. Image size is bigger than 4096 kb. Is that something I change or is that a sitewide value for all users?

Wait a while and see if it stays put. I think it initially displayed for me. Also for JT’s gif as well upthread. I’m sure that one displayed fine because I remember seeing it in thread and then reverted to the error message.

And now it’s gone. I deleted my post in that thread because this is a better spot for this conversation.

The software attempts to rehost all images locally because doing so solves lots of problems. If the image is larger than 4mb it will just display a link instead. It isn’t possible to have a linked image display inline. It either gets rehosted or it’s just the link.

Multiple settings need to be chang ed to allow larger images, both in the software and on the server. I’m not very open to doing that, first because we have pay for that storage and bandwidth, but more importantly because 4mb is already huge for images and imo it’s very unreasonable to force mobile users to download anything larger. You don’t need more bits for gifs, you need the creator to know wtf they’re doing and set appropriate sizes, frame rates and palettes.

Fully support your preference here.

Why do the linked images display inline for ten minutes before showing the link?

Totally agree. In the past I’ve scaled down cell phone pictures to 25% before posting and they still look fine.

The other day I was not at home and discovered that my iPhone gives a “choose image size” option when uploading from the photo library (small medium large original). Even the large option was only 300k and worked fine.

I know animated gifs can be much bigger but 4mb really is pretty reasonable.

All sorts of options to optimize the gif and adjust the file size.

Is there a way to jump to the first unread posts while still in a thread?

Example: I click a notification that takes me to an earlier post in the Trump thread. I now want to jump from that to the first unread post.

How do I do this without returning to the home page and reclicking the thread?

Are people who hide their “public profile” unblockable?

All of a sudden I can’t access unstuck from my home network, not on my phone when it’s connected to WiFi or my home pc on the network, any thoughts?

Don’t think so. Just go to Hamburger menu/Preferences/Users. You can’t ignore them from their popup in-thread, but you can if you manually enter their name in Preferences.
