I just upgraded to a 5S and i dunno if it's a version change, forums change or this phone, but this thing is crashing over and over.

I've narrowed it down to the forum list - if I go into a forum I can do whatever I want but as soon as I try to go back to the forum list to go elsewhere it dies. Every time.

I can't try to log out or anything because the log out button isn't accessible until I go to the forum list. So right now I have to pick a forum and then reinstall the app when I want to change from YOSPOS to D&D and welp that kinda sucks big time!

That sucks! Try logging out and back in? Not sure what else to suggest unfortunately, except that I'll see the crash reports and take a look.


I'm not sure. I always watch in landscape, but I'm sure some weirdo who watches in portrait will complain loudly when they're stuck with fullscreen landscape YouTube videos.

Might make sense for iPhone though. iPad, I think I'd rather leave it.


That also sucks! Trying to fix these up.

Yeah I should specify. I just mean when you're locked on portrait. I don't want to have to unlock and switch to landscape to watch one dumb video someone posted. If I'm planning on watching a bunch or something, then I'll just do all that.

For ipad I don't see it being a big feature. But the iPhones youtube app already does it. If you're in portrait and locked, and click expand, it'll go full screen landscape without having to go unlock orientation and etc. In awful, it crops and zooms the video. If you don't click expand, it just sits like a normal youtube portrait, which is terrible.

This doesn't slide open the side panel if it's shut, which was briefly confusing.

Um, here's something worrying. Anyone else not having any embedded YouTube video play?
I think it's also happening in a couple other non-browser apps that embed videos (it happened in Feedly for me).

Meanwhile, if I play the embedded video in icab browser, it works.

Exact same problem over here, unfortunately. Was using a 3GS with the iOS 6 version of the app as of two days ago, then switched to a 5S, got the most recent version, and it's welcome to crashtown.

And yeah, it's without a doubt the forum list itself. The app crashes the very second it finishes loading the page--or gets to a certain point in the loading process. In fact, if I disable 3g/4g/wifi (in order for things to load much slower) I can actually open the app, IMMEDIATELY tap the menu in the upper left, and go to my bookmarks/private messages/settings, at which point the app does not crash. The only requirement is that I do this quickly enough for the forum list to NOT have fully loaded in the first place. If I try to go back to the list from any of the other menus, it will crash again. Reinstalling doesn't help, neither does rebooting the phone, or tweaking any of the settings.

Pokeyman, if there's anything people can do to help you out with this, let us know. (new version of the app looks fantastic, by the way. Especially in dark mode.)

Yes, just get a black box where the video should be. Then, if I force-quit and try to go back to the thread page with the embedded video, Awful just keeps crashing.

I believe this problem is fixed now (tried here and in Feedly).
Google must have screwed things up on their end and sorted it out by now.

I think I see the crash, but I've had no success replicating it. I added some logging into the next version that might help, and in the meantime I'll keep poking around. So I guess update to the next version once it comes out!

The app seems incredibly crashy and slow on my first gen mini. It can take 25 seconds to even load a thread. Embedded youtubes are 50/50 if they want to load. Seems quicker and stabler on my iPhone 5.

Your iPhone 5 is faster and has 2x as much RAM, but that does seem like a long time to load a thread.

That's pretty lovely. YouTube embeds I have a bit less control over, but that's pretty terrible loading time. Working on it.

It was a subforum of SAFP from time when radium tried to do frontpage comments but since he was so inept the only way he could do this was by having the support bot post mailed words. It was a failure and got quickly removed, but never locked, and then a couple months ago a couple of dumb losers started roleplaying their teenage intercontinental romance there which got found out and now it's gone.

If anything the new update has made my thread loading issues even worse. It takes upwards of a minute or more for a thread to load, and if I let my phone auto-lock anywhere during that time, the app will crash upon opening my phone back up.

Also seeing users post history I think would mean including the forums search function all together. Not sure that's something pokeyman is going to be able to whip up anytime soon.

You don't have to do the entire search stuff if you don't want to. You're just doing a call to the search page with the post history action and the user ID. Once it completes, it does a redirect to the search page with the users post history.

code:
http://forums.somethingawful.com/search.php?action=do_search_posthistory&userid={0}
From that point you can parse and format it.

Of course, that's not easy to do. And technically, my app is cheating because I'm using the forums HTML with some formatting and overriding JavaScript on it, rather than actually parsing it. I can get away with this somewhat because I'm just on a tablet/desktop, rather than a phone environment.

Now I really want to add full search functions. Stop giving me ideas. :argh:
