Tumblr tends to be pretty bad about it too. I don't follow many people that feel the need to have those huge "gifsets" that people seem to adore (it's mostly webcomic artists), but a handful of those is the difference between a smooth browsing experience and a lovely unreadable page.

Got the bookmark fix update. Now I'm seeing this sometimes:


Seems to be related to new posts being posted between refreshes. Refreshing again fixes it. Edit: scrolling also seems to fix it

Also (unrelated), in the popup menu to post an image, the arrow to go "from camera" (to the right) needs hit twice before it works.

Yeah my fix wasn't much of a fix. I obviously don't entirely understand what's going on there.

Could we get forward and back buttons in the awful browser again for external websites? Sometimes I follow a few links in, and hitting the back that's up there goes back to the thread you followed from, not the previous page.

That said, I like the return of the awful browser :)

New bug to report.

iOS 5.1.1.
Awful 1.10 (though it did do this in 1.9.1 as well if you opened the thread list prior to it displaying the thread, I just assumed it was related to the grey window of uselessness)

When you go to the forums list (not thread list) with the thread window set to always show it does not display the forums, giving a grey window instead. This has happened fairly frequently on further testing, it's fine if you don't change forums often, but if you bounce between a few it's going to be a pain.

Only known workaround is closing (entirely) and reopening app

I'm not seeing this. Can you go into more detail about when this happens? And maybe a screenshot too?

I tried setting "Keep Sidebar Open" to "Always" and the Forums tab always loaded fine, bouncing between forums and subforums and the main list worked great. Had you quit the app after changing the setting?

I'll get you one next time I see it. It doesn't happen all the time, and is more common when I post than anything else. It also lets you go to the favorites or bookmarks sucessfully so I've added the forums I actually use to that list.

As for the rotate for side bar, yes, closing and reopening does make that setting take effect, just not rotating the device like it says on the text under the setting. I've got mine set how I like it now anyway :)

I also got the grey/huge bookmark list (iPad 2, iOS 5.1.1). It has only happened once, but it happened immediately after I did a pull-to-refresh at the end of a thread.

Hopefully that way is "show in landscape, hide in portrait", because I'm bailing on the setting. Can't get it to work right.

Same things here, picture posting requires two right arrows after choosing the [img] menu option.

Yes, but the setting does work as always show as well, provided you set it then force close the app and relaunch. It works, jut doesn't change live, instead changes for the next opening.

This might be an iOS 5 issue as this feature works as advertised on my mini running iOS 6.

Lots of videos shouldn't be crashing the app, so I'd be interested to see a crash log if you have any way to get one. No big deal if you don't know what I'm talking about.

I guess that's the way to go yeah. I'd just spent an hour trying to get it to update live or even on rotate on iOS 5 and came up short.

I'm in agreement with this one. I'd prefer the choice to stay, even if I have to force close to change it. Force closing isn't a big deal to me sometimes, just frustrating when I have to do it all the time. Ideally someone would set it how they want then never touch it again (or rarely)

I think anyone who frequents any "current" game, movie or comic thread would find a use for it. God knows I could use it in the Walking Dead Game thread.

Even just having a "show spoilers" toggle in the base settings would be pretty cool.

Also like the change to the instructions for the side bar, now there's no confusion and we keep our awesome option.
So far no grey forums list again but I've only been updated for a hour or so.

Edit: never mind on the grey forums list, it's still there lol

Do any forums appear in Favorites?

If you go to a bookmarked thread, then scroll down a bit, tap "parent forum", then go back to the Forums tab, does anything appear?

Favorites continue to work, I don't know if it'll have the same failure if I post from there though. I just reset it again so I'll have to test the others next time. I'll test those each next time and see if they break.

Going to bookmarks then to forums does not fix, but I've not tried refreshing while on bookmarks then back as of yet (I'll try that next failure too)

They do seem most common right after posting, but again, not every time either.

Edit: it decided to give me another shot already lol

Scrolling down or refreshing bookmarks gives no change, testing posting from favorites and going to parent from a thread in both bookmarks and favorites still.

Edit 2: no change on the browsing to parent from bookmarks or parent, remains grey and unusable, favorites remains useable at all times so far, not sure if it's just not hit it yet but I'll not reset tonight for as long as possible and see if it does crop there as well.

Edit 3:

The favorites bar does eventually break should you exit the app but not force close it (at least with the grey bar issue going on)


Edit 4: for reference, here's my normal favorites bar after a fresh relaunch

New bug unrelated to the grey bar of uselessness

If you start to post, hit the reply button and cancel the confirmation you can no longer select text. You can continue to type, but not move the typing point to an earlier spot, nor select anything. It's fine if you didn't finish the thought/accidentally hit the button, but if you realized on rereading you made a typo you can't correct it without posting then editing it.

Once again, iOS 5.1.1, original iPad, jail broken, no odd hacks.

Also there's this


Yes, that's the profile page forcing landscape when in portrait mode.
