Post Drafts & Group Suggestions (based on what you Type) 🏅

Hey Similar Worlds 🌍🗺️,

Based on your user feedback indicating that selecting a Group for a Post can be a tedious process for some, we have finally released some improvements.

Group Suggestions (based on what you Type) 📝

The system will now look at your Post, and try to suggest a number of Groups for it.

Example, if you post:
"I'm listening to Michael Jackson songs in this St. Patrick Day!"

You will be presented with some Group suggestions such as:

If you are not happy with the suggestions (or didn't get any), you can still find your Recently Used groups by tapping on the "Search" field, and/or manually look for another Group to post in.

Post Drafts 📔

It is now possible to save Posts for later.

If you save the post, but you don't select a Group and a Post Type, the post will safely be saved as a Draft.

You can find and manage your Drafts by pressing the button above the New Post form:

Thank you for your support.

We are constantly listening to your suggestions, so please keep giving them to us, as they are very important to the future of Similar Worlds.

Very kind regards, 🧡
- The SW Team

How about fixing the SpellCheck/AutoCorrect? It hasn't worked for weeks.

I couldn't care less about groups. I look at the most recent posts. That's all. There are so few people on here now what difference does a group make?

@hunkalove How about fixing the SpellCheck/AutoCorrect? It hasn't worked for weeks.

We never had a SpellCheck/AutoCorrect.

If you ever had that, that might have been from your own device/browser, rather than from SW.

@Nuno Well, it doesn't work anymore. A shame.

hunkalove · 61-69, M

@Nuno I works on everything else on my tablet except SW.

Nuno · Admin

@hunkalove Hum, ok - strange. I don't think we are intentionally "blocking" it.

Seems to work on my Android, using GBoard.

@Nuno Works for me as well, but I'm also on Android using GBoard (usually).

@Nuno there is a Gboard option to turn spell checking off. I know because I purposely have it turned off. I only use gboards word predations.

DeWayfarer · 61-69, M

@hunkalove if your editing box looks like this...

The click on the arrow sign so the all the menu options are showing. Like this...

Now click on the gear symbol second from the left. That should give you gboards settings. Make certain spell checking is on in the settings.

I believe it's now application dependant. So if you accidentally unchecked it through this method, it will remain so until you change it back.

hunkalove · 61-69, M

I don't see anything like that.

DeWayfarer · 61-69, M

@hunkalove are you even using Gboard then? There are a number of other key board apps.

Check in your settings to see what keyboard app you are using.

hunkalove · 61-69, M

@DeWayfarer I have no idea what a Gboard is or a keyboard app. I think the problem is probably with the Samsung Internet App. It has never worked right. I used to think the reason why it took a couple minutes to get SW to load was SW's fault but then I realized it was the Internet app.

DeWayfarer · 61-69, M

@hunkalove see if you can get almost any other web browser. Most use chrome, I use Foxfire. Yet there are many other web browsers. Like duckduckgo, dolphin and many others.

All of them you can get through Google play store. Also while you're there download Gboard.

Everything I have mentioned is free BTW.

@hunkalove I'm using Samsung Internet for SW (and for most of my social media). But I have replaced the standard Samsung keyboard with the GBoard app discussed above. GBoard is far superior to the Samsung Keyboard (and I'm generally a Samsung fan).

As mentioned by @DeWayfarer, just go to the Google Play store and look for GBoard. :)
