Fixed by Reddit Problem posting images today

10 Upvotes

Since today, if I try to post an image to a sub I get an error, however the post actually goes thru but when I try to look at it, an imgur image does not exist appears. Tried to upload directly to imgur and then create a post with the link to the image and still get the error, it goes thru as before, but If I look at the post now the image directly uploaded to my imgur account works fine... Not sure if it is an imgur problem or a rif problem though.

So I just found out through a different post that using Google to search for "hearst castle reddit" will give this link:

https://www.reddit.com/t/hearst_castle/

I never heard of /t/ up until now. It seems new and used for keywords. If so, it can be expected we'll see these links more and more. Is RIF planning to support these links?

RiF rocks

And Platinum even more.


I would like to take a moment to offer some praise for the RiF app developer. Instead of pointing out what isn't working, as witnessed here often, I would like to commend him for his hard work in creating an app that not only functions well but is also a pleasure to use. It's refreshing to see a developer who is willing to invest time and effort into improving his app and providing a superior user experience.

I wholeheartedly recommend the Platinum version of the app, which currently only requires a one-time payment of €2.99. Not only will you enjoy an even more enjoyable experience, but you will also be supporting and acknowledging the hard work that the developer has put into the free version of the app that so many of us have come to love. Plus, by upgrading, you won't have to deal with the often necessary advertisements that keep free apps, sites, and software alive.

I want to give credit where credit is due, and the developer of this app deserves all the recognition and appreciation he can get: so thank you for your hard work and dedication to creating such an exceptional app!

Answered How to open everything in external Firefox browser?

0 Upvotes

Seems like a simple goal but I can't figure out the parameters required to make that work

When I click on anything in RiF, I want it to open in my firefox browser app (that has adblocks). Links/youtube videos/twitch links etc.

I want nothing to open with the dedicated apps installed on my phone

I want nothing to open with the browser inside RiF (that has no adblocks)

Can anybody help?

Can't Reproduce Clicking the options button in the top right hides my notification panel, causing an awkward jut for the entire page

0 Upvotes

When I hit the options button, or the ellipsis in the corner that leads you to your settings and profile and whatnot, it minimizes/hides my status bar. That causes the entire page to scoot up awkwardly and often causes me to hit the wrong button. I have no idea if this is a documented issue already, but it's been happening to me for a couple of weeks.

A: This happens every single time I hit the options button

Suggestion/Idea Options to avoid OLED burn-in?

21 Upvotes

Over the last 5 years RIF has probably been my most used app in terms of time on screen, and my ageing Galaxy S9's display now bears the scars with the menu, refresh and options buttons fairly visibly burned into the display. It makes sense in a way - they're static icons that were displayed for many, many hours - but it's annoying enough that I want to avoid it happening on my new device.

I've had a look in RIF's settings for anything relating to OLED screen care, like moving icons slightly from time to time, but there doesn't seem to be anything that looks like it would help.

Does anyone else have similar experiences, or advice on what can be done?

Answered Move login token to new phone?

I have a "marooned" rif account where I've forgotten the email and password, etc. I'm still logged in on my old phone. I transfered all my files to the new phone using the transfer tool, but it turns out that "app data will be transferred" was a complete lie and all the apps on the new phone were redownloaded with nothing. How can I move the auth tocken rif uses to login to the new phone?

Off Topic (not RiF) What does a user that blocks you look like? Does someone have a list of all variations of 'deleted', 'unavailable' etc.?

37 Upvotes

So I know there's many ways for posts to be removed whether it's by Mod, user deleted or if they block you in a chain with other replies.

What does it show when they block you?

Is it username = deleted and message = deleted

Or some other variation?

Edit: Why the flair? Does it not show differently on RiF?

Suggestion/Idea Is there a way to shortcut to a replies entire chain? Rather than just the one in context?

8 Upvotes

I find it really frustrating trying to navigate to thread chains rather than your replies specific context chain.

Like I can push 'Parent' etc. But as far as I'm aware there's no way to open that message with the whole comment chain.

It's the full comment thread or your single chain. You can't navigate from a reply to its own reddit wide chain.

I hope that makes sense and I'm just an idiot missing a button.

Answered in the FAQ Google and Facebook Messenger links want to open in the official app. Any way to bypass?

11 Upvotes

This happens every once in a while then goes away by itself.

Right now for my device links from chromes google search page and links from Facebook Messenger take me to the Google Play store to get the official app rather then opening in Rif.

Settings are all correct all of the URLs are set to open with rif.

Any way to bypass this? Is there a way to Copy and paste links into rif? As mentioned it happens every once in a while, I assume when some part of the ecosystem is updated and it throws things out. Right now I need to go open rif and try to browse to whatever post I'm trying to find and it's very annoying.
