Feature request: is it possible to disable auto-refresh on the bookmarks page? In the new version it's quite slow and I have to wait until it's done to click or it will refresh and take me to the wrong thread. Since there's pull to refresh, it doesn't seem necessary to auto-refresh every time I go to the bookmarks page.

How do I hide the bookmarks window tater the update? It is up all of the time after the update and taking up a ton of space - half the screen when in portrait orientation.

Currently: Can't see ops in fyad

Noticing something similar but what's happening is I'm always 1 post short. Ie: if the app says there's 1 unread post and I click on the thread, I don't see anything. If it says 3 unread posts I'll see the 2 most recent, etc... Only way to correct is using previous posts button but that can't be done when op is missing

Can you make it so threads with no new posts don't show up under bookmarks. Also, make the bookmarks tab show more than one page of bookmarks.

I personally don't like this suggestion as sometimes I want to go back to a bookmarked thread to find a specific post. If the thread doesn't show in bookmarked threads, then I'll have to search through the forums till I find it which would take a significantly amount of time.

Having an option to sort threads with new posts above threads without new posts in the Bookmarks is on the todo list.

Maybe it should just lock out inputs while it is refreshing? Because you want to give people a second to read the updates list after it refreshes.

The app refuses to show the first unread post in one particular thread I have bookmarked. If there is one new post and I tap on the thread, it loads the thread but doesn't show the post, and instead it says 'End of thread'. If there are several new posts in that thread, it will show the posts after the first unread posts, but still not that one. If I go to previous posts it does show up.

It only happens in that thread, and only since the latest update, I think.

I'm on an iPhone 5s, 7.0.4 and am using version 2.0.1 of the app.

Can we do anything about the legibility of the unread count of yellow bookmarks on the default theme? I cannot make them out to save my life.

Short term: ehhhhhhhh not that I know of

Long term: There is a new design coming for bookmark coloring that will do the coloring by having tabs in the post's row, allowing all number counts to just be one color without losing the functionality (and regaining sanity).

Oooooooooooh!

I find one of the most annoying elements of the new app that I didn't mention before is following links to other threads on my iPad. Is there no way to back out to what you were reading before? It used to be a simple tap on the top left to go back to the original thread.

Now I have to think before tapping links to other threads because I'll lose my place in the first thread.

Two things:

1) Thank you to all contributors for your work on the app, it is one of the most used apps on my phone and I appreciate the effort you have put in

2) Last night someone texted me a link to archives.somethingawful.com but copying it to clipboard and loading the app did not present the option to follow the link inside the app. Is this something that is unpossible because archives dot is separate from forums dot, or is this something that could be put on The List?

I'm guessing that Pokeyman will say it's on the list, but in the mean time if you just replace the word "archives" with "forums" it should work.

Loving the new app, but the only problem I have with it is the options menu appearing "cut off" when tapping on the blue dots that have been moved to the end of someone's post. "Mark Read to Here" is cut off and "Quote" doesn't even show up. Closing the app and re-opening it doesn't do any good.

It's a swipe menu. Swipe sideways to get the rest of the options.

So it is. I didn't even think to try that since sometimes all three options would show, and only "Copy URL" would show.

I don't think it's that stupid, since I've never seen a swipe menu before. The standard iOS 7 action popup menu for this kind of thing looks like this:

Those scrollable menus are pretty bad, and they're probably going to be changed, but they are based on a standard iOS 7 UI element.

Fair point. I hadn't realize Apple uses this too. Makes me think the Awful version would work better if it was always full width.

Yeah, being full-width ensures that the 5th icon is partially visible, which is a visual cue that the icon list can be scrolled.

The Dave

Well in the modal a fourth icon is cut off to do the same. Though things look bad when there are three icons because there's no scrolling and they're off centered. It's also not great when it's just 4 because it's like scroll for one. I actually think it's not bad when you have 5 or more icons.

Also the current appstore version of Awful I think has the modal width bug where it's not as wide as it's supposed to be and only applying the width of the title text.

If I use the menu to go from YOSPOS to bookmarks as Awful decides to refresh the list of threads the app crashes 100% of the time in a repeatable way.

This is a 5S with 7.0.4.
