Yeah, there is a vast inconsistency with Awful Browser re: Youtube links. And the links in profiles have no option, where I would prefer Awful Browser to handle all in-app links. If not possible, I will second a direct to the Yt app.

Which inconsistency are you referring to? I'm aware of several but I'm not sure which one's grinding your gears.

Good point about profile links, I'll add that to the list.

Oh, my cogs are running smoothly, to be clear, but I was saying that it's essentially a crap shoot with Youtube links when tapping, them mostly opening in Safari but occasionally getting handled by Awful. I mean, a lot of times I just want to see what the video is without watching, and constantly being taken out of the app can be tedious in a number of threads.

Next time you get a chance, can you link me to a post whose YouTube link opens in Safari? That sounds like a bug.

All of those open in Safari for me. It's probably about 5% of the time, or less, that Awful handles the links.

My details: iPhone 3GS, iOS 5.1.1, Awful 1.11.1

There's a nasty crash in iOS 5; if that's you, your poo poo's broken until the next version. Very sorry. Maybe having someone actually run the betas on iOS 5 will help us catch such glaring errors before release!

Now that Google has released the iOS 'open in Chrome' code, could you look at amending the "copy post URL" options to include an 'open in Chrome' command? I only browse the forums through the browser for mod stuff, and a direct link would make things really easy - instead of copying the URL, switching to Chrome, pasting in the link, etc.

Tap and hold on a link to open in Chrome. Unless I misunderstand what you are looking for.

I just updated to the version that came out. I can browse forums fine but when I try to load a thread it CTD's.

So far it's been 100% for 10 different threads all over the forums including this one. :iiam:

e: If it helps, when I load a thread on the app which I have never read before and it crashes, I can go back and still have the whole thread as unread.

In-line links are fine - long-pressing "copy post URL" in the *** submenu does nothing except copying the URL of the post. I'd like it to open up directly in Chrome.

Same for me on 5.1.1. I thought "na, don't update it. Everything is fine as it is" but seeing that red 1 on the App Store pressured me into doing it.

I haven't followed this thread in while but the App has been developing very nicely!

Well I for one am very thankful. I miss browsing an Internet Comedy Forum in public places on the go. Do you need help getting a fix out?

Also if you'd like I can help with future versions as I intend to stay on this version. Is there a way I could help you test future versions for 5.1?

Fix is ready, just testing the next version. If it goes well, I'll submit the next version tonight or tomorrow.

Mail me at pokeyman@nolanw.ca and I'll add you as a tester.

This is a fantastic app, and I use it just as much as (if not more than) the Android version on my phone. I did find a small bug, though: selecting "filter by this user" to see just their posts in a given thread only displays one page of results, i.e. up to 40 posts, then shows End of Thread. I'm on an iPad2 running iOS 6.1.3.

iOS is a labyrinth of shortcuts, every few months someone blows my mind when another one gets posted in a thread.

Most recent one is the ability to slide the app icon on lock screen notifications to go directly to that app. This saves literally seconds of my life!

I was about to reply with "any of them," but I just tried it with your post in this thread and it seemed to work fine... And then I realized that I had only tried it with my posts in any thread; for example, my thread in AI. The page indicator doesn't even say "Page 1 of 1" or anything, it's just blank.

[edit] Here's a screenshot. I think the bug only affects the logged-in user (which is me, in this case), but that's just a guess.

I can't seem to trigger this. It works fine on my own posts, so it's not a blanket issue with the logged-in user. And it worked fine on your posts in the thread you linked. (Whoever suggested following a copied URL when switching to Awful: I use it constantly in the simulator. Good call.)
