Beastie posted:Oh I didn't realize it was an Apple thing. I'm still glad the app is back, checking the forums in browser is quite tedious. Well, that's the problem. It should be an Apple thing. But currently if developers want users to be able to control which app opens, it has to be done on a per-app basis.

Beastie posted:Any chance you guys would create an option to open links in your browser of choice? Right now it uses Safari and I think it would be a nice touch for those of us who rely on Chrome. It's not a problem or anything I just hate having to go copy the link from Safari to Chrome if I want to end up saving the link.  This is already in the dev version..

That's not really true. You have the option to open in either Awful or Safari, but not in any other browsers.

This may have been brought up before, but how about variable font sizes? Or even a S/M/L switch? Would be great for Minis.. I *do* appreciate the dark theme, as it saves untold minutes of power.

Can you still just replace the stylesheet in iTunes? That would work for something simple like font size.

Same on iPhone. Although I didn't see a "Copy URL" there, don't know if it's contextual (somehow) or not.

The next version of Awful will happily send links to these browsers at your direction: Safari Chrome Grazing iCab Mobile Mercury Opera Mini If your browser of choice isn't listed let me know, and if you happen to know its URL schemes that's even better!

Is it better to have a dialog of browser choices for every link? Or to have a sub menu in settings where you pick out your preferred choice? Does anyone here use more than one browser (with the exception of streaming audio in one and browsing in another)?

Yeah I was wondering if there was a way to hide the fringe browser menu because the common goon is probably just looking for safari if they don't want to use the in-app browser (which is coming back).

I would say it's fine as it is now (dev build), maybe with the addition of an option in settings to set the default handler from the available options (in-app/Chrome/Safari etc), that way people can set their preference and long-press for something outside their norm. I may be misunderstanding what you mean, but I wouldn't remove functionality from how it is now and revert to just in-app/Safari. Personally I far prefer using the in-app browser, and Chrome for the occasional outside link.

Flash Gordon Ramsay posted:Doesn't that stuff only show up if the browser in question is installed? Yup, the app sniffs out which browsers are installed and populates the list based on that. Though Awful has a list of browsers it checks for, there's no magic way of detecting arbitrary browsers installed on the device.

Personally I far prefer using the in-app browser, and Chrome for the occasional outside link. Oh I don't want to remove any functionality. I'm saying if there's going to be a menu of multiple browsers to make the long press say like "Copy Url - Open in Safari - Open in Other" and when you tap other it would open the list of all the other choices. I guess it doesn't really matter though because if you don't have them installed they won't show up?

Just installed this and it seems really slow. Compared to the old app at least. Loading takes quite a while.

I've been having issues with this, but only infrequently, and when it happens it's not limited to Awful. I'm using a mini, and I've been hearing rumours occasional poo poo wifi connections for no apparent reason.

I have been thinking that page loading has been slowing down with the various versions. It sometimes seems that it is less fast than it used to be. It's hard to pinpoint well enough to say if like to call it a bug report, though.

I don't understand how you guys are getting this to update - when I search for the app I see the application but nothing else. When I look in the App Store that last time it was updated was back in September and there's no update option. I even re-installed - same problem.

The update works great on my mini but my 4S with iOS 6.0.1 is broken still: - The forums tab loads a list of forums but upon clicking a forum, the threads are empty (sometimes this results in a crash), - Clicking on bookmarks always results in an immediate crash. - I can't logout. If I hit "Log Out" I get the prompt and upon tapping "Log Out", the login screen appears and the app crashes. Reopening the app shows me as still logged in. I deleted the app and then reinstalled making sure I got the right one, then logged in and reproduced all the above issues again.
