Sometimes Awful shows the page count as something like 258/1 (instead of 258/259 or whatever) and nothing updates. I can't view any pages or refresh anything. I have to exit it and relaunch it from the shortcut.

It's happened about once a day for the past three days.

I get this too, but going back to the bookmarks pane and then back into the thread fixes it.

Does the bookmark/unbookmark work for anyone when using the drop down menu ij a thread? (long press in favorites works though)

Woops, I removed that by accident, working version here (going out in GP as well of course). Also fixed a few nav drawer bugs.

In the Something app, are you taking/listing feature requests?

I'd like to request the ability to choose font size and to have it highlight posts (like Awful's highlighting of OPs posts, user posts, and when others quote the user) but other than that I like it. It's purdy.

A couple things about the market version of Awful:
1. Immersive mode is amazing :coolfish:
2. I keep triggering menus when trying to swipe up or down to exit immersive mode. Can menus be suppressed if the result of the touch is exiting immersive mode?
3. I'm in a thread, and swipe up from the bottom to get access to the home button. This triggers the jump to page pop-up. I hit home to exit the app. I click the bookmarks shortcut to launch the app later and I get the bookmarks page properly, but the jump to page pop-up is on top of everything.
4. Bolding letters in the middle of words seems to have a space inserted when viewing in the app. On a browser, it looks as expected. Example: goldeen

Market Awful on stock unrooted Kit Kat Moto X.

Edit: and now there is no space. Wtf.

I keep getting a bug where I cannot click links in threads, including spoilers, without first minimizing the app and then reopening it. I don't know what triggers this and have been trying to figure it out but it's been pretty persistent.

There's also another one that happens less often; every now and then hitting next page the next page loads but doesn't show - the app sits at the bottom of the previous page. If I exit the thread and load a different thread, it shows the bottom of the page I was looking at when the error started. The only way I've found to fix this is to force close the app and start again.

I get this fairly often, and it's my only serious gripe with Awful (which I prefer over desktop browser, so good work, devs).

Like WoS said, clickable elements just "go numb" and don't respond to touch. Links, photos, spoilers... pretty much any in-page element. Sometimes multiple taps eventually yield a success. Sometimes a link will flash to indicate that it registered a tap, but not do anything. I even tried with my stylus to verify accurate targeting - same result.

Meanwhile, all app buttons (menu, next page, etc.) continue to work fine.

Note 2, rooted, running stock 4.1.2 - happens on both wifi and carrier data.

I don't believe in anything, I'm just here for the violence.
So I changed my password last night and now I can't access the forums via the app. I log on as normal in the app, and even get the "GLUUUUEEEEE" prompt telling me it was successful, but when I actually get to the forums the list is blank and I get a pop-up telling me that I'm not logged on.

I already tried unistalling and reinstalling the app with no-joy. Any ideas?


Never mind. I cleared app data and it worked. It was probably trying to use my old login cookie.

Go to the apps menu of your phone settings. Select Awful app and then either clear the cache or app data.

If you log out, and then try to log in (I had to do this because of the p/w change) the app will just pretend you're logged out. you have to log out, close the app completely, restart it and then log in.

Obviously, it's a minor thing you'll stumble upon once a blue moon, but still thought it worthy of mention.

I think it's the other way around. If you send a PM and the recipient's inbox is full, you get a message to tell you that instead of the "PM sent" screen.

Seems fixable but I'd need the source code of a page telling you that someones PM box is full.

You need to delete the app data for the time being. I fixed the bug a few days ago but it's kinda hacky so I wanna see if there are any side effects before pushing it out.

I think the app has an issue with passwords using accented letters, in my case "à": it results in a "Login failed!" error no matter what. After changing my password to have "a" instead of "à" (but otherwise identical), I can login correctly again; it's still a bug in need of fixing though.
