This sounds a lot like the bookmark parsing thing that'll be fixed in 1.10.1. Unfortunately that's a week or two away. Hold tight!

Sure, but it won't do anything. (Posting threads is on the list!)

Well, it wouldn't do much good to have the button if it does nothing :)

The refresh would be nice for sure though, I like the embedded browser when I'm following from a thread (can you tell? Lol)

Hey there is a new "It's Time To Rumble" thread tag. Thought I'd let you guys know before another update is submitted.

Thanks a lot, I appreciate it! I'll try to do it before work tomorrow, in bed with my iPad now ( I'm becoming such an old man ).

The good news it doesn't have to go through the AppStore to load it. The app checks github every 18 hours for thread tag additions, allowing it to be side-loaded.

They can add new icons between updates now, it's a really clever workaround to the app store process. It's all hosted on their GitHub account and the app checks to see if there are new icons to use.

I've got this one. I've already got the source image saved, but I didn't know it was made into a thread tag.

This is going to sound weird, since I haven't looked at how the app parses SA the site into SA the webview, but if you can sideload images, would it be possible to sideload parsing code? Just have some binary file format that contains a hash of "element" => "location of element", use that hash when rendering, and check git for an updated parsing file?

If that's not possible or too much work feel free to ignore this post entirely :shobon:

Definitely thought about it. In fact I'm not sure you're the first to suggest it in this thread :)

With any luck, most of our parsing problems should be solved soon enough.

I woke up this morning and found that there were no forums in my forum list. I could get to the parent forum of my bookmarks, but not the overall list. I then restarted the phone, looked at the forum list again, and found only 3 - GBS, TG and BSS. I selected each to check them, and each time I went back to the list, the one I'd used was gone. Any idea whats happening?

Unfortunately I don't, but you're not alone. You can try logging out and back in maybe. Should be a bit better in 1.10.

This has probably been reported already, but I'm experiencing a strange bug where if I go into a thread in my bookmarks it disappears from my bookmarks until I refresh. I'm on a 4s with the latest software and latest App Store version of Awful.

This will be fixed as soon as the current in-review version is approved. (Or rejected, I guess.)

I've found the Nitpick to End All Nitpicks: when text is on the last visible line in the post box, a correction popup will come up under the keyboard. Like this:


I don't know if it's just related to the (awesome awesome) shortcut bar or if it's always been that way.

E: actually is there a way to get it to ignore stuff in bbcode brackets? It's trying to correct s to a, and i to I (which is fine, but unnecessary). Maybe I can only do that myself (on my device I mean)

I seem to have my list of bookmarks cut off. When I get to the end of the loaded bookmarks, there's no "loading more" animation although there might be room for it? I'm pretty sure I saw the whole list in the past but reloading doesn't help.

While the little correction window pops up, I believe (just going off of personal experience here) that typing a square bracket with the suggestion up makes it ignore its suggestions and cancel the autocorrect. I can't tell if I'm doing a really bad job of explaining this, but if you just close the bracket it should go away.

Hm, I've tried just ignoring it but when I hit the space bar it auto-corrects anyway. Sometimes, at least.

Also, still would love a rap sheet option added in. I like to know why people were probated so I don't do the same :)

Does selecting text in posts simply do nothing, or does it obstinately select the whole box of a post?

Rap sheet's on the list!

Nothing at all, also, added to previous post in edit.

Sometimes it randomly works where I can select the entire post but never a single word (I do like to look poo poo up that people post a lot, so selecting poo poo is pretty damned important to me)

Basically. I can tap it, and nothing happens, I tap again and still nothing, I tap it a few more times and one of them will bring up the menu. This time I was lucky and it only took two taps. It reminds me of when I had my blackberry storm (and storm 2) and would try using it when drunk (they had a "feature" in it where it would need temp to trip the touch sensitivity, and when drinking my temp drops enough to put it below that limit, causing me to just hand the phone to others and make them type my drunken ramblings when I still had it)

Edit: I've seen the same reaction with the home button, but no other app has shown the same unresponsiveness to click of the home button. The home button reaction delay is far less bothersome, and kinda entertaining when it crops up, making me think it more of its just refusing to let me leave SA for now. Kinda a "one of us", and "you can never leave" vibe. I'm ok with that :).

That's because the App template / CSS is its own thing. We should be able to add it ourselves with some ol CSS logic.
