Click a thread, go out of it and post a screen of the thread list again showing the unread count. I'm curious.

I'm really excited about the next version going live, we have basically every thread tag done. The only ones missing are about ~5 from FYAD that are going to be a little tricky to complete because I don't know the source material.

The rejection cited this rule: "Apps that encourage excessive consumption of alcohol or illegal substances, or encourage minors to consume alcohol or smoke cigarettes, will be rejected", and included two screenshots: the first page of threads in TCC and the OP from the marijuana concentrate thread. I don't think these screenshots are evidence of breaking that rule (note the word excessive), nor do I think TCC in general does anything the rule discusses, but I'm not the arbiter here.

I asked if it was a rating problem (I had revised some of the age ratings since removing the built-in browser) and was told it would be best to remove the content altogether.

Which I did, in the interest of getting Awful into the App Store before 2013.

I think ultimately we can get Awful into the store with TCC. I'll keep trying. I'm just not sure when it'll happen.

Didn't you say earlier that you provide the reviewer with a user account? Couldn't you ask a mod to block TCC on that user account and then it wouldn't show up at all for just that one person, right?

I'd like it if the Dark Theme made every page dark and not just actually inside threads. Kind of defeats the purpose when everything else is still bright white.

Also would like an option to turn off the post icons. And when I have load images automatically turned off, to have the link to them open them in the page as if it was turned on when clicked instead of going to a new page.

But hey at least it works on the iPhone. I couldn't get it to log in at all on my Droid.

I like the creative thinking, and there are other ways I've thought of to get around the review process, but this is the kind of thing that gets you banned from the App Store entirely :(

I think we can get TCC in without shenanigans.

Edit: It shows up in my main thread listing (without being a favorite) and I can read the threads.

I'm baffled. We're quite explicitly not listing TCC in the list of forums (which is forum ID 90).

So I'm glad you somehow managed to get a more useful app than we released :)

Last one is the level select screen for Doom or Doom 2 but I don't know what exactly the background is.

The burden one is something from the Zulu war but don't know what exactly.

The episode is called "Fire Ant". There are two versions. The standard 11 minute one, and one that is over 20 minutes that is mostly Space Ghost following the ant. My avatar is from this episode.

I knew the Ultra Violence was from DOOM, but I haven't been able to have that knowledge. I can't tell if that is from a real DOOM menu or if it's just the Doom font over a doom texture.

I think it is just the words Ultra and Violence on a Doom texture with the screen melt in between.

The menu for difficulty level looked like this.

The new Register app has a cool option to shrink/enlarge the font that I haven't encountered anywhere else. It's quite handy because there's no extra screen to do it.. you just tap the gear icon, a little popup shows up, and you can change the font size. Also nifty is the popup has a night mode setting, which makes switching back and forth quite a bit easier than how Awful does it.

I appreciate it because my choice of font size changes depending on whether I have my glasses on or off.

It might be something worth copying if font scaling becomes a feature for Awful.

That does work quite well. Thanks for the pointer.

And font size and a whole-app dark mode are on the list.

This appears to be from one of the old DOS shooters, either Doom, Duke Nukem 3D or Wolfenstein at a guess. I can't remember which had an "Ultra Violence" difficulty.

The second in the set appears to be a riff on the White Man's Burden, but I couldn't point you to any kind of a source.

EDIT: It was Doom. The first 15 seconds of this video should give you the idea of the inspirations behind it.

I just got a new bug. If you're in a thread, and you click a link to another thread the app crashes (just closes itself).

Using an iPhone 4S with iOS 5.1.1.

The app is pretty drat sweet otherwise, i use it all the time and it's pretty solid. Very thankful for this.

I'm having a problem with the awful app typing in Korean (it's probably the same in other languages.)

I can see when people type in Korean, I can see the Korean up until I post, but when I actually post it's gibberish. Like this; 안녕하세요.

Any idea why that would happen?

What I typed was supposed to be "anyeonghaseyo" but... You know, in hangul.

This has been going on for a while and other people have had the same problem.

Edit: I edited my post and the gibberish changed. At first it was 안녕하세요 and not all those funky As.

There are two Awful apps in the store right now. The 1.5.16 one is the old app.

E: Also, I don't think that 1.9 is out yet. The current version is 1.7.something.
