In threads I often click on images and do Display Image a lot so I can zoom into the tweet screenshots with tiny text. It works okay, but it seems to always redownload the image. Why is it doing this? The image was downloaded for display in the thread view so why does the app download it again? I probably wouldn't notice but for some drat reason about 10% of the time when I use Display Image it doesn't actually load the image, or it takes many seconds for it to happen. Maybe I have it all wrong. But if it is downloading the image again then maybe some "simple" optimization could be done.

If someone is going to have a look at that, they can maybe also have a look at why Display Image renders a lower resolution image than what any given imgur link is actually pointing at. Most of my zooming I'll do for reading text in comics posted here and it's a shame this built-in function is barely useful for that. Open the link in an external app and the full resolution image shows up no problem. Looking at the links, this is not about people using the imgur thumbnail function of appending a size letter.

Yeah, I have the same issue reading large and/or text-heavy comics in particular, and I've been hoping there'd be some way to fix that. It takes away the ease of following along something someone else is making the effort to post if I have to download each image and read them outside the app.

I remember this exact same issue coming up a while (years?) ago.

We don't have thread-hiding tech on the forums, and if you were on a desktop I'd say you could use a custom user stylesheet, but that's not really an option with the apps.

It's called the Awful app despite the fact that it is a wonderful app. Curious.

My advice would be to bookmark the threads you feel are safe for your brain, and then use the bookmarks view instead of browsing the forums generally. You can periodically scan the forums for new threads to bookmark. This will limit your exposure to the bad poo poo you have trouble not looking at.

Yeah this is pretty infuriating. Here's an example that got me recently  Display image -> zoom in as far as possible  This problem seems to be recent because I used Display Image consistently for a certain weekly comic in the politoons thread, and I'm fairly sure it worked fine around Christmas time or January or so.

First of all, thanks Astral As far as the display image function is concerned, it has always been this way. I think I looked into this once and the issue is basically that the image is loaded to fit the screen and then you can zoom on it. But zooming doesn't zoom on the image but on the loaded version. Something like that. I think the solution was to replace the whole thing with something else. As far as why it needs to reload the image, threads specifically (as well as PMS) are basically a browser inside the app, and it's difficult to get things other than text in and out. So it's far easier to get the image url and load the image than to get the image from the in-app browser/web view and zoom on that. Maybe a solution would be to just do the zooming in the web view in the first place.
