iCloud is just a big clusterfuck. Yeah, it would be a hassle.

Would it be much of a hassle to add iCloud support so your favorites sync across devices? (If this isn't already in the works)

It's on the list. We laid some groundwork for it a version or two ago (and I botched it; if you lost your favorites after an update this is why, sorry). It should be relatively painless once we set it up. There's some other iCloud features on the list, including syncing the thread you were just reading across devices. No timeline for any of them.

If anyone's curious, we would use the iCloud Key-Value Store, aka "the best third of iCloud".

For some reason this keeps happening today



Force quitting fixes it temporarily and I have no idea what I'm doing differently than normal.

That's a known issue. It occurs when you pull to refresh then click a tread while the "Loading..." bar is still there. When you go back to Bookmarks, the "Pull to Refresh" bar is stuck until force quit and relaunch. The workaround is to let the refresh finish before clicking a thread.

It is fixed in the latest beta, 1.11.0-7!

I fixed this issue and introduced another way to get the "pull to refresh" stuck up there, so don't worry!

Works fine on my iPhone 4. Refresh is ready by 60%~ of screen pull.

Is there any way to see full thread titles? Some are long enough they get abbreviated on the subforums and then the display in thread is even shorter.

You can long-tap a thread in a list, and the sheet that pops up has the full title. But I agree, it's hard to see the whole thread title. Gonna have to think of something.

Make the thread title horizontally scrollable to show the rest?

And <blink> so you're immediately aware of which titles to read before they scroll over and you don't know how it starts and it's just scrolling and scrolling and you're just waiting and waiting.

If anyone finds a workable solution for long titles make sure to forward it to google because their youtube app is atrocious with video titles.

Sadly, <blink> is only supported in Gecko, not in Webkit which is what Awful uses.

You can fake the blink using webkit animation css.. basically by setting it to loop the opacity between full and zero.

The obvious solution is to fork WebKit for Awful and implement <blink>

In my mind, a long-tap (/hold, whatever it's called) that started the title scrolling horizontally would be the most intuitive thing.

I have the forums set so that when people quote me, my post shows up green. For a while, the app followed suit, but now it does not, and I don't believe that I changed any options on either end. Any suggestions?

That's not an actual forums option, you must have SALR installed. It is an option in the app though, but it's completely unrelated to your SALR settings.

It isn't getting worse (or better), you're just getting unlucky. The next version fixes it, so hold tight!

Delete it and install the new version. Pokeyman took over development of the app last year and had to release it as a "new" app to get it onto his App Store account. The old app has been broken ever since January's forum redesign.

I've got something weird going on with this post or one of the posts near it. It isn't showing up on my phone, and it seems to have taken a lot of other posts along with it. I know that the posts before it were appearing on my phone as normal earlier in the day. At around the time that the post was made the thread did show up in my bookmarks with, you know, one or two unread posts, but loading the thread just left me staring at a blank page with no posts on it.

I took some screencaps and stitched them together to show what it looks like on my end in case I'm the only one experiencing this. A bunch of posts are missing above Oh Snapple!'s post and I have no idea what's happening with Leal's posts at the bottom of the image. Look at the dates, that last post is from the previous page. :psyduck:


e: just clicked on the link in this post from my phone, it takes me to the aforementioned grey screen with no posts on it.

Second post in this thread has a tl;dr, the code repository has a tl, and the App Store description aims for the middle combined with creative bullets and excess exclamation marks.
