I don't know what this thing is, and I don't care. I'm just tired of seeing your stupid newbie av from 2011.
I don't know when you did it, but thank you for (unintentionally?) making the bottom toolbar able to be hidden unlike before iOS7. Using a jailbreak tweak called fullscroll, and I have so much screen real-estate!

Is it possible to have Safari Reading List integration for links and images?

Okay, I have started having kind of a weird bug recently... After I post, I'll try to refresh my bookmarks list, and the list doesn't refresh. Like, it shows that I was the last person to post in a thread, but my unread counts don't update and my bookmarked threads don't reorganize themselves. I have to completely back out of the app and close it to get them to refresh again. I'm running the latest iOS on an iPhone 5.

After all that, can you pull the list down to trigger a refresh? Or does that stop working too? It's normal for just the thread you replied to to change its count and such, but it's definitely not normal for refresh to break on the whole list.

Love the app, I do about 95% of my SA surfing with it, thanks for all of your hard work! This really isn't that big of a deal, but I just updated with the latest version in the app store and while using Dark Mode, it used to be black and now it's more dark gray. Is there anyway to switch it back to being black?

Not at the moment. Personally I really like the current dark theme, I've switched to it full time. But I've got an item on the list to bring custom CSS support back in, so if that happens you could use that.

I'll pitch in:

Can't read thread titles that are too long. The sub menu no longer displays the full title like in previous versions

I agree with canceling auto refresh of a thread is clicked. The 1ms delay when I go to click on a thread and it moves under my thumb is what's annoying. Or if there was some way to keep bookmarked threads on static positions, ya know?

UI wise, it would be cool to have white theme, dark gray theme, and jet black theme (for dark rooms).

Also I think the selling/buying icons would look a lot slicker if they were dogeared corners or something that was square or rectangular

Q: How do I open a thread, and view it full screen? I want to get my bookmark list out of the way.

Q: How do I jump to the last page of a thread?

Q: How do I bookmark a thread I haven't posted in, but want to keep up with?

This happened to me too, only the 2014 Winter Olympics subforum would show up then crash. Force closing the app then restarting the phone seems to bring back the rest of the subforums for the time being.

Having the same issue with the sports subforums here too, also on a 4S.

EDIT: now I can't go to my forums list at all. I think since the SAS subforum list opened up, trying to go to the forums list just crashes instantly.

Looks like something about the list of sports forums is totally borking the app, and it's easily reproducible if you expand/collapse the SAS subforum list once or twice. The crash happens in -forumTreeControllerDidUpdate, and it gives this error:

quote:

2014-01-25 12:39:06.086 Awful Debug[15355:70b] *** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInternalInconsistencyException', reason: 'Invalid update: invalid number of rows in section 1. The number of rows contained in an existing section after the update (19) must be equal to the number of rows contained in that section before the update (18), plus or minus the number of rows inserted or deleted from that section (5 inserted, 0 deleted) and plus or minus the number of rows moved into or out of that section (0 moved in, 0 moved out).'

The error is pretty self explanatory, but I haven't dug into it enough to figure out the actual reason for the crash. It only appears to affect the Sports forum stack...maybe because they just added another subforum?

The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.

Clearly there's an issue with the forums tab :) I had known of one before, not sure if we're all seeing the same bug or what. I'll get into it. ultramiraculous if you want to poke around, I'm guessing I hosed up some bookkeeping in AwfulForumTreeController.

There's a bug or two around showing posts as read. Sometimes a brand new page is instantly marked as read, sometimes the opposite. It's not you.

Yeah, I just asked about this a page ago.

Would it be possible to have a "User's Guide" feature in the app? Or, in the OP?

An in-app guide could just be one of those arrow overlays other apps have, that point to things that aren't outwardly obvious.

I hate those things.

If you get stuck, it's a failure of the app and a bug that needs fixing. Tutorial mode is admitting defeat.

(I'm not saying this is universally true, but I think it is for Awful.)

Redesign the icon to say "hey sidebar swiping is back in"

There must be enough people wanting this to take the feature off the back burner.

But see, now that I'm used to it, I'd prefer to keep <>. It's just so clean and simple. And with an overlay, you avoid tutorials/guides/etc. You literally tap a ? in the corner, see what's what, and move on.
