System works but I think the "to you" is cut off.

Seriously though I think it's on pokeymans list already, I'm sure I've seen it requested.

How about making that top bar on ios (you know, battery etc) the probation colour and having :nyd: instead of the post button. or not who cares

Maybe I'm going crazy, but on my new iPad Air, it seems like swiping to the right to pull out the left-side drawer has a really high fail rate. Sometimes it works, a lot of the time it doesn't. I almost never had it fail on my previous 3rd gen iPad.

No, but you can long-tap Cancel to find a shortcut (?) for Select All then Delete. There's also probably a bug with cancelling a draft when editing a post, so watch out for that.

Just changing the top bar in the app would be better. The blue one? Make it purple.

Like there is no separation between the body of a post and the sig, so sometimes it's hard to tell when an image is part of the post or just someone's sig.

If you're current with your iOS Developer membership, or know someone who is, build and run the code. Otherwise we're all set with testers for now thanks!

I'm using version 1.11.9 on an iPhone 4 with iOS 6. A few days ago emotes started displaying as links instead of actual images. Some images will load in the post if I click the link but some do not.

Is anyone else having this issue? I checked my forums settings through a computer browser and everything there seems fine.

Edit: I also can't see avatars on posts or profile pages.

Do you have the "Show Images" setting turned off?

If you log out of the app then back in, do you still have the problem?

Totally. It's been on the list for ages, actually a bunch of code got written for it, and I just haven't gotten around to making it happen.

I've had show images off in the user CP settings for ages and never had an issue with emotes showing as links in the Awful app before. That started a few days ago. Just to check, I turned images back on in the user CP, which fixed the emote problem, but avatars still aren't showing up.

Not to be a dick but is this causing problems? Or is it just the alarming number on the "Usage" screen in Settings?

It's a frequent enough request that I'm looking into it :) but I'm curious if there are bugs I need to address.

FWIW I've been running the current version since release and Awful shows 72MB of space used. I'm assuming iOS does its own maintenance to keep things reasonable.

The OS is supposed to delete cached stuff on its own if it actually runs out of space.

Yeah but the space is still not available for putting your own media on.

You can trigger this by just filming a video until it stops you because of space. But in my experience I've only ever got twitter to clear that way.

Are you telling me my failed image uploads are why Awful is pushing 450mb? Does it upload the image to Awful's cache before uploading it, and failing to upload doesn't clear it out?

Almost. If you cancel the new post sheet then Awful saves the images to its cache. This is done to bring your post back intact if you tap the 'Compose' button (so you can go back and forth between your post and the thread, adding quotes and such). The problem is that Awful only clears the image cache if it successfully sends the post. If you leave the thread, or Awful crashes, the images stick around.

If you're wondering whether this is the problem, try logging out and back in. If the usage goes down a little bit or not at all, this is the problem. That cache isn't cleared when logging out.

On the plus side, images are saved to the folder that iOS is supposed to clean out when you get low on space. So you could intentionally run out of space, or you could delete and reinstall Awful, and that cache should be cleared.

(Awful 2 doesn't have this problem, but its solution wouldn't work on iOS 5 so I can't port it back to Awful 1.)
