Jump to first unread post is working now, which is great, but when said post is the start of a new page, it just shows the previous page with no posts.

And I kinda miss the option to load the last 1 or 2 read posts before the new posts. Gives me context when picking up a thread.

You can just click the previous posts button. It works really well, keeps your place if you've just entered a thread and that way you can pick and choose which threads so you don't have to load more than you need all the time.

Can we add a feature for swipe left/right while in a thread? I'd love to be able to swipe left/right on the title bar to navigate forward/backward in a thread, if only because the left/right arrows in the bottom left can be hard to read when one-handing with an iPhone 5.

You must be a filthy left-handed person.

For now pulling up takes you to the next page also if you're going that way and want to avoid the arrows.

I'm right-handed and my hand is usually on the bottom half of phone, but sometimes, especially in bed when I'm lying on my side, my hand migrates up to the top of the phone.

It loads the rest of the page though, so I'd prefer to be able to just load the last read post. Probably makes a difference when you left off at the 37th post of a page.

I'm getting a bug on iPad 2 where if I open the menu to browse the forums all that appears is a grey background and no forums load, but I can still open my bookmarks and read the threads fine.

Dont know if someone already mentioned it, but I'm getting this maybe once or twice a day.



Happens randomly when Im reading a thread then go to load the forum list again. Only thing that seems to fix it is closing and reopening the app. It's not a big deal since it's pretty infrequent and the fix is easy (if I was bringing that window up I was done with that thread anywhere so theres nothing to lose) but it's still a pain.

Haven't read the past 200+ posts, but is there a bug/setting where clicking on a topic doesn't take you to the last post? Its annoying to figure out where on a page I stopped previously.

Have you installed 1.9.1 yet? There was a bug in 1.9 that broke this for some people depending on their forums settings, but it should be fixed now.

I just did some epic table breaking with a photo because I couldn't tell it was too large. I am not 100% sure if it was because the app doesn't show when it's way too big (the photo fit the screen for me) or if I am just dumb. I am willing to concede it might be the latter.

Good advice is to always use "timg" instead of "img" just in case.

Timg still loads the full size image so it makes people mad sometimes.

Yeah, timg downloads the entire huge image then shrinks it on the screen which is a pretty inefficient way to do thumbnails.

Yes but it wouldn't break the forum width which was his problem wasn't it? Timg isn't great though.

For some reason I can't copy text from posts, and I haven't seen this mentioned elsewhere since the 1.9.1 update. From within the new post window sure, but sometimes I want to copy text from someone else's post.

In a similar vein, holding down a link used to give the option of copying the HTML, opening in Safari, et cetera. Once the in-app browser is back it'd be great to have that functionality again.

I've been getting the same problem on a brand spanking new iPad (I don't know what OS or model, but it's the newest one).

Happened once in PYF Funny Pictures and again after following a link. I guess it has to do with memory?

Haven't seen this happen, though it doesn't surprise me (it's annoying to test image upload). What were the contents of the post when only the first image uploaded? Did it have the image tags for each image? Were there imgur URLs?

The app should use timg by default if your image is wider than 800px, and it'll resize your image if it's larger than Imgur's maximum file size. (edit: the resizing and some upload fixes aren't in 1.9.1, sorry. I got confused)

I'd like to have more options when adding an image for upload, namely resize and crop, but I can't use the editor built into UIImagePickerController and haven't bothered making my own/finding one.

But in Safari or some browser the threads show the proper number of unread posts?

What happens if you mark a many-page thread unread, then tap on it, then back out to the thread list again?

Does refreshing the thread list in the app help? (Pull down from the top to refresh.)

As in you long-tap the text in the post and nothing happens? I can't replicate that problem. Is there a post in particular that's giving you trouble, or is it all of them? What device and version of iOS are you using?

It's back, though I wasn't aware of the "copying the HTML" option. What did that do?

There were no image tags, it simply posted without any indication of the second two images. I edited in the second and third using the built in uploader again and it crashed to the home screen, so I uploaded them one at a time and that worked.

Just managed to make the app crash writing out this post in the iOS games thread (luckily my spider-sense tingled and I copied the post first). Before it crashed, the text entry controls became kind of laggy, and when I long-pressed the box with Select/Select All was missing the pointy arrow part and didn't select text when I chose an option.

This bug report is probably entirely unhelpful. You're welcome :D
