Maybe I'm just uncool, but along with the request to divide sigs from the rest of a post, would it be possible to choose not to display them at all? I'm pretty sure the forums proper have that option, and holy crap are the sigs ever my least favorite part of gbs 2.1.

Deleting and reinstalling the app fixed my persistent high storage usage problem. I did have several app crashes while uploading images to imgur inline. It only ever seems to work if I do 1 image at a time.

Just so you know, logging out and logging back in clears the cache.

Not in this case:

pokeyman posted:

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.)

Emphasis added.

Disabling sigs in your user CP, on the forum, should prevent them from showing up in the awful app.

I'd like to request a filter/search on the bookmarks page if at all possible. It'd be nice to filter down to a specific thread I'm looking for instead of paging through 5-10 pages of bookmarks.

I haven't seen a sig on the forums (including Awful) since I turned them off in the control panel back in Aught-Three.

Experienced a strange bug on my new iPad Mini 2 on iOS 7.0.3.

I was unable to scroll up or down in thread. I could not swipe across to open the thread list.

I was able to use buttons, such as jump to page and mark read to here. I was able to scroll up and down in the thread list. Switching threads made it all better.

oooo I want that so bad! I am constantly swiping from the left multiple times wondering why the gesture won't work.... then I realize it's an ios6 designed app. :)

Yes just making the swipe-to-go-back gesture work would go 90% towards making it feel like an iOS 7 app.

I have one more dumb question. When you split an unlimited line off a family plan, is it essentially like signing a new 2 year contract? Because I have a full upgrade on my line and I could use it to upgrade someone else's phone if I could get a 2 year contact price on my phone. But I haven't feeling it won't work that smoothly and I might still end up needing to pay retail for a new phone if I want one.

Demand a refund from the developer.

It is a way to lose weight.

But in all seriousness, and this is more a general 7 question (I think), why is there swipe to go back, but the opposite swipe doesn't go forward in most cases? By 'forward,' I basically mean reversing the swipe to go back, and not moving to uncharted territory. Could awful have both?

It's not available by default. The swipe to go back gesture you basically get "for free" because it's a built-in feature of the navigation controller. To swipe right-to-left, you'd have to do something custom, and keep track of pages the user backed out of yourself.
