​FAQ

1. Fur Affinity posts don't work.
   1. Check to see if you need to complete a captcha if you try to post manually to the site. If you do, you will have to post manually (4-6 times) before the captcha goes away. Once it goes away PostyBirb should work.
2. DeviantArt/Twitter/Tumblr was working but now isn't.
   1. Try re-authenticating the problem website. Sometimes the authentication tokens expire (typically DeviantArt) even though the app tries to refresh them every couple of minutes (because of DeviantArt problems).
3. Will you support Facebook?
   1. No probably not. Setting up stuff with their API I find to be a giant pain and requires many different application reviews that I just don't feel like setting up.
4. Will you support Instagram?
   1. Maybe some time in the future. Currently they have disabled API access to post images. This can still be accomplished through the private API, but this is somewhat sketchy and might violate the ToS so I will wait for them to provide an alternative.
5. Will you support Artstation?
   1. No. I have looked into it before, the system they have implemented is much different than the rest of the implemented websites and I do not think it is a good match. Also would require me to invest a lot of time into figuring out all the calls since they do not have an API I know of.​
6. Will you support X website?
   1. Maybe. Just ask me. If I think it is easy enough I will do it.
   2. If it is an Mastodon instance, only if more than one person asks. Every different instance requires a new registration of the application and the app currently doesn't support variable URLs.
7. Will PostyBirb come to iphone/android/mobile?
   1. Unlikely. A lot of the code is dependent upon certain features of ElectronJS, so unless Electron has an update that allows it to be ported to phone it probably won't happen.
8. Is there a portable version?
   1. The .exe file (the one that does not have setup in the name) should be portable. That said I have never actually tested this myself so if it isn't I could try looking into it more.
9. Will the app post scheduled submissions if I close it?
   1. Currently if you have any submissions that are scheduled it will not close fully unless you close it from the tray. The ability for the app to post is dependent upon it being open.
