Can't seems to save image to phone even though permissions already allowed. Anyone facing same problem??

hi,

oh yes, im also facing the same issue...hmmm dont know what's wrong it was working normally. okay thanks for highlighting, i shall look into this issue.

Can we have the option to share the photo without having to download, then go to gallery then share.

And after uploading a photo, can don't auto hide the keyboard?

Good to have?

hi,

for image sharing, i dont think can. the image is loaded from a URL. i can add a share button, but you won't be sharing the photo, but instead the photo URL.

Thanks for the long awaited update, MhdF.

Now that the app, being the most powerful one, is fully-featured. (except for PM mgmt), perhaps a good time to tidy up some UI for more consistency in the coming updates.

An app UI has to be consistent in looks and touch interface, to be easy to use.

Imho, Pcwx has too many different gestures; side-slide, 3-dot menu, drop-down, long-press (in the latest thread refresh), slide-up refresh. Perhaps TS can look into sticking to just a couple navigational gestures/actions.

+1........

edited: nice. thanks for the auto fill feature. can I suggest having a settings option to allow user to toggle off the auto fill pop up confirmation dialog box. for us heavy user pcw which +1 often. we don't need to confirm we want auto fill each time.

edit2: found a bug with auto fill. I like to post "buy a car". it is 9 characters. The auto fill function did not activate.

Yes. Blue fonts on black background very difficult to read. Maybe have a settings option to disable coloured fonts. All text displayed as white.

hi guys,

yea this was highlighted before but wasn't really discussed. im also aware, under black/dark grey background cannot see dark coloured fonts, whereas white background cannot see light coloured fonts.

it is annoying when it is just a normal post but there are also some posts, especially those post article ones, they coloured certain phrases/sentences to highlight a certain point. I can remove colored fonts altogether but i'm not sure if it will affect your experience for this when reading the thread.

hi,

hmmm i just tried sharing image from chrome, actually can. dont know how they do it, let me go and research on it. i can't promise you if i will implement it, see how complicated it is. :)

+1........

1) alright, i can add a setting for this

2) hmmm, i just tried posting "buy a car", it did prompt me to fill in the dots because it is 9 characters. perhaps you might have hidden spaces included in the text.

but thanks for highlighting. i just checked, hwz didn't considered spacing as one character (i think). what if someone press the spacebar 10 times. i should omit that. will fix this.

hi,

for PM mgmt, i am actually planning to implement deletion of PM. i have already figured it out, i think. only need time to put it in.

haha, i wont be putting in more gestures. if not there will be too much "memorisation" to remember everything. this should be it. i believe the gestures are well guided or self explained in my app so that users wont come searching for the respective menus.

I feel that can just ignore it. You cannot control what color user choose to post in. Anyway. For those typing in weirds color are usually useless post.

You fix for some color but you can't fix for all colors.

They probably did trimming for whitespace.

Can make it as a settings option. So that user can choose their own preference. Personally, if got such a settings option, I will toggle off colour fonts.

You not old you dun understand we old people eye sight not good.

It can be done but I'm sure there will be complain after.

Yes. So if there is setting to turn off. What is the default color? If white. What about those using light theme? Then next you will ask. Can have setting to let user set the default color for the text.
And so on....

It's not that it can't be done but how to do it in term of UI/ux.

Hi we used to be able to multi quote and key in our response in between each quote but now it seem the quotes cannot be amended after the latest update?
