Not sure what common element on those pages would make it crash, when other threads seem to work fine.

Neither of these are causing a crash for me either. What device and iOS version are you seeing this on? Maybe it only happens in certain versions.

I'm running iOS 7 on both an iPad and iPhone 4S. After upgrading both to the latest release of 7.1, the first thread I listed will now load with no problem, but the second crashes to home screen (on both devices).

Looks like it's over-escaping when quoting in some cases: http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=2773485&perpage=40&pagenumber=399#post428308714

Also, the [/..] button doesn't do the right thing if there's a [] in the stream, sigh.

Edit: we're over-escaping every time, in fact. Makes quoted URLs a crap shoot.

Pretty sure he meant specific to the Awful app. I too would like it locked, but when viewing Youtube videos through Awful app, have it to where I can rotate the screen to landscape.

Ah, nm then.

Re: escaping problems. It looks like things are actually escaped when they come over the wire, so I wonder if this is due to us not unescaping properly now that Awful pulls HTML instead of JSON. Pokeyman: should we be using gtm_stringByUnescapingFromHTML when pulling the bbcode out of the scraped form contents?

Edit: Pokeyman: I sent a pull request for the unescape-fix branch; haven't run the scraper tests yet, so I might have broken some of them, but it fixes the issue for me in manual testing.

Travis will run the scraper tests. I waited until they were done before merging :)

I logged out because I changed my password earlier today and now when I try to log in I get "problem logging in: please check your username and password". The same credentials work in a web browser.

E: interestingly it works on the iPad, but not the iPhone.

E2: updated the app and the problem went away.

E3: hide sidebar in landscape: thank you so much

E4: now I made the mistake of selecting the macinyos theme and the app crashes every time I try to load a yospos thread.

App is crashing for me on opening like 50% of threads which makes sense if it's ignored posts since I put a lot of people on ignore for dumbbad posts.

edit: actually I just opened up a couple of the threads in chrome and unless the last read post is throwing me off, they're not all pages with ignored posts

I can say though that a thread I tried to load earlier wouldn't load. I went in Safari and unignored the one person I had on ignore. Came back into the app and the thread loaded just fine with no crashes.

It definitely seems to be some sort of bug with ignored users.
