Is this now going to screw up all historical twitter posts? We've lost good functionality by not being able to click on a Tweet and see more about it. Posting them is much harder. I realize Elon seems to be a shithead, but this is a beating. So surly is supposed to just be an index of tweets?

TBH the overall discussion has been a lot better without hit and run embed posts, because it forces people to actually have an opinion. I do think that for some of the announcement type stuff and the hype videos I need to figure something out (which I'm doing now) and then we will be fine. I've got something that can replace all prior embeds with just a link to twitter already done, but I want to see about replacing it with a rich media version first and get that working so it won't just suck.
February 14Feb 14 @immamac you used to have a countdown timer at the top for game one of the season. That was always cool glancing up at it. Any chance? https://countingdownto.com/?c=6096198

March 24Mar 24 I'm sure there is a logical explanation for this, but it's a minor inconvenience. For some reason picture posted by @SurlyBDR load significantly slower than any other pictures on any of the boards. I'm assuming he or she is using a different hosting site, yes? The entire rest of the page will load in a flash, and his pictures take several seconds to load and won't start until I scroll down to that individual post, so threads he frequents (i.e. Dumbass Shit We See On Facebook) has pause after pause as picture after picture loads. Anybody else notice this?

March 27Mar 27 I got a new phone and it didn't transfer whichever non-Tapa app I learned about on Surly that has the browser type feed. Anyone know what it is/was?

November 2Nov 2 I know there’s been a lot of discussion about how to grow the site users, and also bring in more youth. I just want to reiterate again that if a person doesn’t have an account and isn’t logged into the site, the site is basically aids. All of the popup ads make it completely unusable. I just wonder how many new users, and especially young users, take one look at the ad infested site and just keep on going. Is there any way to make the ads less annoying? They are a beat down.

There is no popup ads. There's 2 ads on mobile. There's 3 ads on desktop tops. You are just flat out wrong and surly has far less ads than other sites. They are also not in the main viewport at all, the text in the center of the screen is never blocked on mobile or desktop.

November 2Nov 2 Author Every 7th post (which is 50% less often than industry standard) from a viewport experience is neither weird nor intrusive. Both the top and bottom are dismissable, very easily and you are zooming in your content like a fucking old. The top is also relevant content for a CFB message board not just an ad.
November 10Nov 10 I upgraded to iOS 26.1. Now when o try to post something I get this weird shadow cover over surly.

Any suggestions? I legitimately have no idea what your setup is. Is this in every device on every OS or is this just your phone or tablet on ios what browser what are your settings. Surly does not log you out, ever. It's a cookie. If you delete the cookie or it expires then you need to log back in. That's the beginning and end of the login mechanic after you've been Authenticated
November 13Nov 13 My config is an iPhone 12 mini. The browser is Safari. When I type from Chrome, no issue. So looks like a Safari specific issue.

It now completely screws up the whole typing process. You can’t highlight text without hitting the check button and then going back in. Its absolutely asinine.
November 13Nov 13 Between this stupid change and the micro entry bar for typing in websites, Apple has lost their mind. A bunch of morons.
