I'm pretty sure that feature would shoot you to the last post but then any images that load would push the view until you're elsewhere, negating its purpose.

Trying to upload more than 2 images at a time from the camera roll is a shitshow with very low chances of completing, even over Wi-Fi. A status bar or something would be nice, but I don't even know what mechanism is being used other than "it uses imgur somehow I think".

It just sits on uploading for an extremely long time then says Upload Failed or whatever the error message is for that. When I say an extremely long time, I mean that I may have to tap on the screen to make sure the phone doesn't go to sleep; 5-10 minutes if I bother with it that long.

It's still doing that? Admittedly I haven't tried it recently, but I thought it was fixed a few versions ago.

I guess it's just you and the Firefox developer who apparently uses "Send image in email" all the time.

My problem with the newly sensitive "..." menu is that (at least on a 5-series device) when you accidentally hit it in landscape mode it takes up the whole screen and you can't get rid of it without switching to portrait. Like so:

You can close it if you tap the blue bar.

I admit it doesn't look like you can do that, but it does work.

Yeah on landscape that should really only max out at one row, and have scrollable icons if it goes past the phone dimensions. As long as it's portrayed to the user that the option exists. So either a cut off icon, always visible slider, or page (circle) icons.

Half arthropod, half marshmallow, all cute.
The app crashed on me for the first time today. It was the Critterquest thread, so I'm guessing it had to do with the many large images plus trying to jump to quotes.

Any chance of the portrait/landscape lock returning?

Even though I'll be upgrading to a tallphone soon, what's the status of the fullscreen mode feature? Is it pretty much dead since the majority of people will be on big screens soon? Or is it still slated to make an appearance?

It's still on the list. I don't personally care about it, so it's never been a high priority feature for me.

I wonder if it will be super easy to call the fullscreen on scroll that's used in iOS7's safari.

Since about 3 updates ago the app has just completely stopped working for me. I keep getting the updates hoping it would fix itself. When I try to start it, I just get a grey background screen.

What device are you using? Which iOS version are you on? Is deleting and reinstalling the app failing?

Delete and reinstall. This happens to me with each update if I don't remember to first force-kill the app before updating.

Out of curiosity, when y'all check code in (and push it to github), are you doing that through XCode, or are you command-lining it, or using some other fancy git client?

I use the command-line client. Xcode 5 looks promising though, might switch over once that comes out.
