    Context means everything, I guess that doesn't matter when there is a narrative that needs to be pushed.

    Limiting what is now the best source of info about football/recruiting on a football/recruiting board bc you vote differently than someone else is definitely not an improvement.

    If you are comparing Elon Musk to Nazi Germany, you have a lot of reading to do about Nazi Germany. The politicians you worship make slip ups all the time and go much further than that like flyin

Why are none of the pictures showing up in the Jahdae Barron is a BMF thread? Does this have to do with the recent twitter changes? 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?

screenshots and commentary isn't the same thing as just posting a bunch of twitter links. 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. 

wrong tread

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?

That's correct, my images are hosted at imgbb.com

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?

Sure it was an app, or just the mobile site? Are you on your phone now? 

I think it was the mobile site via an app. It's no big deal, I can just look at it on Chrome.

No, you're right. There is an app, but I don't remember where I downloaded it from.

Sign out happens when your cookie goes away and only then unless you sign out on your device or sign out of all devices in your user portal. 

Are you using a privacy browsing mode or something similar that would be wiping out your cookie?

No

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.

Sorry. My bad.

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. 

I upgraded to iOS 26.1. Now when o try to post something I get this weird shadow cover over surly.

@immamac I let this go, hoping it would go away. But it hasn’t, only gotten worse. 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 

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’s on both iPad and iPhone, which are the only devices I use. Both are on iOS 18, using chrome. I’ve cleared cookies both through Chrome and Cookie Monster.

I don’t think it’s an issue. I screenshotted the patch notes I think it’s intentional iOS behavior 

Mine works just fine.

No, do not clear cookies. Cookies keep you logged in. You want cookies. If you are clearing them that’s why they are logging you out.

I don’t understand what they are doing. 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. 

Between this stupid change and the micro entry bar for typing in websites, Apple has lost their mind. A bunch of morons.
