I think I can be more clear now: Open in Chrome doesn't show as an option alongside Open in Safari until the page has fully loaded. If you do tap to bring up those buttons while the page is still loading in the background, tapping Open in Safari seems to dismiss the buttons and do nothing (and if you tap again to bring them back, the page will have loaded by then and the Chrome button appears, leading to my initial description.)

That makes sense! Good find. I'll probably just disable that action button until it works right.

I don't know how to split the proceeds and there's no ongoing costs (thanks App Store and GitHub) so I can't put it to the project itself.

The other contributors, past and present. I'm not ok with taking their work and running, even if I'm following the letter of the relevant licenses.

I wouldn't have a problem spending the money, though your suggestions are excellent!

What I tried to say with "ongoing costs" is "costs other than time". Stuff like web/version control hosting, software licenses, or continuous integration servers. Basically all active contributors could walk away from the app today and nothing would stop working due to unpaid bills, because we have all of the stuff I listed for free.

Except I just remembered the thread tag downloader looks up a domain I bought, so without a $10 annual outlay (or a one line code change), that feature stops working. If anyone wants to cover that, and is ok with eating paypal/whoever's fees on such a small transaction, go for it!

You could just insert a dummy thread at the top bookmark and forum views. Have BANME or Attention as the icon, make the thread tab purple if possible. Then just link off what ever normally gets linked off when banned.

If you give it its own style, you could probably cram all the needed text without it being truncated like a thread title would.

Does anyone else think the Reply icon and the two icons on the bottom right should be switched? Am I just weird? I keep hitting the button to adjust font size when I'm trying to reply.

I guess I'm just tossing it out there as a suggestion, and to see if anyone agrees with me. I love all the new bits of the app. :)

I disagree, myself. I think the top right is a more logical place as it's the same as Messages.app and Mail.app

Sounds like it would:

Ariong posted:

Nope. When you're currently on probation there's a purple bar across the top of the forums telling you that you are on probation, how long it is, and linking to your rap sheet. After that probation is up it's just like before. Their only chance of noticing would be to see their own post after the fact or see someone mentioning the probation. Like, for instance, in the PYF Ban/Probation thread.

"wow just wow" is a normally probateable catchphrase. Apparently you said it during sharkweek / red hammer week.

I've never heard of that being a catchphrase before. I didn't see it listed anywhere in the forum rules as something not to be said. It is something I typed to express my amazement and disbelief. But anyway, this really isn't the place to have a detailed discussion on this

Yeah there are several probateable phrases that aren't specifically mentioned in the rules but are probably noted in the saclopedia somewhere. Try to find them -- it's like a game! :q:

I know the forums don't have any functionality for bookmarking archived threads but could something like that be worked into Awful? I don't like having to do it in the browser, and not have last read support stinks, too.

I know remote threads can be opened by having a URL on the clipboard but having to do that each time and remember the page number is bleh.

Maybe wrap a rounding function on the post average calculation in the profile page so it doesn't display twenty decimal places?
