Another option, although probably further in the future than 1.9, would be something like prompt:

I'm having trouble posting with an image from my library. Keeps saying unknown error occurred (-1).

(v 1.9)
So after trying this with the same image / thread from my computer, it turns out SA was throwing an error about file size.

So, it would be nice if two things happened:
1. Awful would at least elegantly handle this error message and pass it along to me
2. Ideally, the app would resize the photo itself. This was taken with an iPhone 5 so I'm not sure if camera phone pics are too large these days or what.

Awful uploads to imgur, it doesn't use the "attach file" feature, so size isn't necessarily the problem. We should definitely be showing a more useful error message, though, and allow for resizing the image.

How big was the image in question? Both in dimension and file size.

Since it was taken on the iPhone 5 the resolution should be 3264x2448.

I love this app!

My only suggestion:
I'd like to be able to load emoticons, but not load other images.

For browsing on 3G I usually keep image loading turned off, but this means that emoticons don't load.

If there is some way to split out this setting, it would be great!

This dark mode?





I honestly don't use dark mode in any other apps, but I've taken to it in Awful 1.9.

Not sure if he's submitted it to Apple yet, but Pokeyman finalized 1.9 some time yesterday.

I exclusive use dark mode if there's a choice. Just more comfortable on my eyes.

Good to hear. Is the post window black in dark mode now? I remember it being brought up (I think my me) and added to 'the list'.
Really appreciate all your hard work Pokeyman.

Edit: Are you two testers by the way? Or is there someway to get 1.9 early I'm unaware of.

The Dave and I (mostly Dave in the last few versions) have been doing most of the design for the app, while Pokeyman takes care of all the real development work. There are some more beta testers, but I'm honestly not sure who they are at this point. I'd assume that pseudonordic is from his posts.

If you know what you're doing, you could get 1.9 now by building it from source.

Anyone else notice that sometimes when you long press to select some text it will highlight the entire post and there's no way to get it to highlight just a word or anything less than the whole post, even if you try dragging the select box handles? Sometimes it's fine though, and I can't see a pattern in the behavior.

Yeah me too so maybe it's an ios issue. Seems to happen more often in awful though. Not a big deal, just weird.

Does 1.9 allow more zooming in on pics when they're clicked and open full screen? I know it'd pixelate in some cases but I'd still love that option.

I'm gonna assume this is to do with each post being inside a table cell, which wouldn't be an issue on news sites and stuff.

I have a feeling that the problem is just that the pictures from the rear camera are just so big. I have managed to make it work before, but not reliably. This image:


was something I took with the rear camera. It took several tries to upload it though.
