Use this topic to practice using the new forum. A few things to try are

  • Quoting someone by highlighting text and clicking ‘quote reply’
  • Post a picture by uploading it
  • Post a YouTube video by pasting the link (the forum will automatically embed it)
  • Format your text, include links, use bullet points, etc.
  • search within a topic by a) scrolling down or b) using the search bar (which lets you do topic-internal search if you are in a topic)
  • mention someone else by using @ and typing someone’s username
  • liking a post

There are more things to try. Just knock yourselves out. Learning by doing! :smile:

Make sure you read our little Welcome Topic with a few helpful tips and links.

Cool, but what’s the twenty characters thing

It’s a requirement to improve quality of discussion a bit away from people just replying “yeah” :wink:

Let’s try with a couple of YouTube videos.

The first one (December '77) is dedicated to scherpschutter who doesn’t like the hairdo of Femi Benussi in Quintana, the second is epochal: according to Mr. Giancarlo, contestant on a TV game show in the early 1990s, “Amazons won battles thanks to their cunt”… :smile:

What’s happened to the SWDB icon on my mobile phone? The logo used to be the same size as all the other icons, now it’s teeny-tiny inside an otherwise blank icon-sized box.

good question. there was no change on the SWDb end though, maybe your OS changed how it handles websites-as-app icons?

15

thought this was the place to try a onebox. My team winning 2-0 - a little unconvincingly.

16

My icon has slowly been getting smaller and smaller every day for some odd reason :sweat_smile:

weird, hasnt been doing that for me… I will check if this is a known issue. Just to check, the two of you reporting this please state your android version number(s)

edit: this is a known bug :slight_smile: Android app icon shrinking over time - #13 by Falco - support - Discourse Meta

18

I uninstalled, reinstalled, and it fixed itself. Must’ve been a glitch, or an android update that didn’t like the icon or something.

19

Where do you download the app from again? It’s been a hot minute since I originally downloaded it

20

it’s not an app, it’s like a shortcut. So if you have the SWDb open in your mobile phone’s browser, some context menu should give you an option to “add to home screen” or something similar

21

Ah so that’s why I couldn’t find a download link. Got it now, thanks!
