Figured this one out, fixing it for 1.9.1. For now, here's a workaround:

Workaround works for me. One question - I find myself hitting what I guess is "parent forum" rather than just the "back to list of bookmarked threads" and doing a refresh of my bookmarks a lot more than I want - is there something I can do to minimize the chances of the refresh (iphone 4S)?

Ummm scroll down a little to hide the menu? What device are you talking about?

Between iPhone 4, 5, iPad, and iPad mini it's a little tricky nailing placement/sizing on first try. Like I don't think a single tester has an iPad mini, thankfully I'll have one in like 2 weeks and I can see if this is a good experience or not on it.

Were we still going to get a toggle to make the sidebar always present in landscape view on the iPad? I guess there were only a few of us but it still seems like the screen is just a bit too wide to read comfortably in this orientation. Would love it if this was possible :)

I would like this too. Way easier to quickly read a bunch of bookmarked threads when the panel is always open.

I love just about everything in the past two updates. I did just update to the most recent version though, and loading at unread posts only works sporadically at best. Most of the time it says it's loading unread posts and then just loads the first post on the last page I read.

It's a great app though, just wondering if I'm the only one with the bug :)

Really nice update. Is there a way to always show the sidebar in landscape mode on the iPad? I'm sure I read it was coming back but can't find a setting for it. Totally minor niggle - love everything else.

It's on the list, but I'm not sure when it'll happen. I hate messing with the split view.

Getting a frequent problem where bookmarks, forums and favourites all turn blank. I can access the Awful thread through settings though.

ChetReckless posted:

I've been getting this as well. Fully closing and re-opening the app gets it back on track, but it happened at least a half dozen times in an hour or two.

When you say "blank", can you still pull to refresh the bookmarks? Is there an edit/done button on favorites?

Does it happen when you first launch the app? Or does it start happening later?

Are you using an iPhone or an iPad?

Adregan posted:

So every time I open a bookmarked thread or another thread I have been reading it doesn't go straight to the last post of the thread where I left off. I have to mark it as read up to that point now. So if there are new reply's it doesn't jump to them if I forget to mark as read up to that point. It just goes to the top of the page. Is this something that was changed?

Yeah that's a bug, there's a workaround earlier in the thread.

Just updated to 1.9, and it looks great! My only issue is that image uploading isn't working for me, and it was one of my favorite parts of the app. Whenever I try to upload an image I get popup box that says "Image Uploading Failed. An unknown error occured (error code - 1)"

Any ideas? I really, really love the image upload feature.

How big is the image? We don't handle resizing the image (and we should), so e.g. pictures taken with an iPhone 5 tend to be too big. We also need to fix the error reporting here.

As part of my job I move between floors and parts of our building all day, so I'm constantly dropping wifi when moving between access points, so knowing if its saved my place or not is really important.

It will show an error message if it fails. For now, you can check the network indicator spinner at the top left of the screen in the status bar. If it disappears and you don't get an error, you're all set.

If I haven't commented directly on your bug report/feature request don't worry, it's all on the list and I'll get in touch if I need more to go on.

I'll fix as much as I can in the next couple days, then I'm going to submit 1.9.1 and hopefully it'll make it into the store before the Christmas holiday (the review team takes a week off). Unfortunately that's a pretty tight deadline so if your bug doesn't make it in, I'm sorry!

You can still pull to refresh, but it doesn't seem to do anything -- the screen is still blank. The menu at the bottom remains and you can pick among the options (settings, bookmarks, etc.), but outside of the settings screen the other screens are blank -- just white space. I can get a bit more specific when I replicate it (I'm not in wifi range right now). I'm using a fourth generation iPod. It just seems to happen randomly. It doesn't happen right away, but will usually happen within about 20-30 minutes of opening the app.

For what its worth, its the only real problem I'm having. Everything else works and looks great.

Which iOS version are you using?

Does it disappear while you're looking at it? Or is it there one time, you go into a thread, hit the back button, and now everything's gone?

I'm on 5.1.1 -- I am going to stop being lazy and finally update to 6 tonight and see if that helps.

It disappears when you are going back to the bookmark menu from a thread, using the button in the upper left.

1.9 is out! Should be available in the next few hours.


Just to make sure I understand (anyone who's experienced this bug can chime in):

1. You're at the end of a thread (it says "end of the thread"). The next page button is greyed out and doesn't do anything.
2. You pull up to refresh (and it said "pull up to refresh").
3. The refresh completes (the "refreshing..." spinner stops and disappears). Some new posts appear. The old posts turn blue, marking them as read. The next page button is no longer greyed out. "End of the thread" is no longer shown after the last visible post.
4. You tap the next page button. The new posts from the last refresh turn blue, marking them as read. You're still on the same page.
5. You tap the next page button a second time. The next page loads.

Is that right?

(I know that's a lot of detail, it's ok if you don't remember all of this.)

From a few pages back, but this exactly.

I'm getting a persistent hard crash when I click on a spoilered quote in TVIV (http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3377206&pagenumber=661#post410451277). The first time clicking on it shifted the thread to the left so all the text was crammed in the sidebar before crashing; the second time it just crashed. I'm on an iPad 3 running the latest iOS and version 1.9.

I think this turned out to be a problem with links to posts on iOS 5. (At least, your post led me to find and fix that problem.) Can you double-check for me what version of iOS you're on? It's in the Settings app, under General -> About.

I submitted feedback saying the pull to go to the next page distance was too far too (and was apparently way late in joining the conversation) BUT the arrows at the bottom left do the same thing (although if you're just refreshing I guess you still have to pull) so it's not that big of a deal to me. I understand why it's as long as it is though, especially with all the different sized devices there are now

Console output does help, thanks. So you get the crash when you:

  • Tap IYG from the Forums tab.

and the console says the same thing each time? (Does the console image you posted show one of each crash?)
