Are we ever going to get full screen browsing back? I really liked that feature because I like not having so much of my screen covered by menu buttons that I don't need at all times. Also, why is there no option to reduce font size? I like tiny rear end font like the smallest size in iBooks.

It was changed so the font size is connected to the phone's dynamic text size thing.

- Ideally yes. I think everyone helping out with the app is hoping to eventually get something similiar to iOS7 safari. Manpower is always the crutch though.

- Awful 2's font size is tied into your system wide iOS7 dynamic type setting. However I think pokeyman is rolling this back when he has the time to based on public reception.

This is a total nitpick, but can you gray out "Previous posts" more on the dark theme? The contrast isn't great and I tend to think it's enabled half the time it isn't.

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.

Nah I've had threads crash the app then immediately after it would load fine so I don't think it's that.

I'm getting a pretty regular crash when opening threads, and I after experimenting a bit it seems like it crashes whenever I open a thread with posts by someone I have on my Ignore list. Is this a known issue?

The crash was, and is fixed for the next version, but it hadn't occurred to me that the ignore list might be the problem. So good find.

I haven't looked at the code with this in mind, but I don't think it's quite as simple as "ignored post means crash". I think it had to do with whether you've encountered the ignored post's author before.

The other major cause for crashes is the posts view's web view blowing up for unknown reasons. If a thread crashes once then works next time, it's probably the web view.

If it helps, I was testing it a bit and found that it doesn't crash if you remove the poster from your ignore list, load the thread up in Awful, re-add them to the list, and refresh the page in the app. It makes sense if it's an issue loading new posts from an ignored user, not posts you've already seen in the app.

What happens when you try? Do you get the little spinner thing at all? Or does it just bounce back and do nothing?

I have not been able to log in to this app for months now. I've deleted and reinstalled it many times and updated it whenever there was a new update, and no dice. Still getting the "Problem Logging In" error, as if I had typed my details in wrong, which I have not.

Is there some thing with iOS where it saves some data across installs now that could have corrupted something to cause this? I know when I delete it and go to the store to re-download, it has a cloud icon thing instead of an install button, but I am not using iCloud at all.


edit: of course, now that I have bitched, it has finally started working on my last attempt. Disregard, I suppose.

I actually might have spotted something that might help you. It seems to be related to scrolling while the app refreshes the thread, which makes it way more common on the ipad than iphone because the ipad version likes to refresh the bookmarks/forums list and the open thread every time you open a link. I twice (once on ipad, once on iphone) managed to get it so the scrollbar remained visible even while I wasn't touching the screen and scrolling became impossible. Using two fingers reset it (on the ipad anyway, on the iphone I forget what I did, just used back I think). But I'm pretty sure it happened because a refresh ended while I was scrolling as I remember that happening both times. I haven't deliberately tried to reproduce it though to be honest, so it might be more complex than that.

I hope some part of that babbling is helpful in fixing this!

Also, is there a reason the ability to hide the forum/bookmark list was removed from ipad landscape mode? I almost never use portrait and liked being able to hide it.

The cloud thing is yet one more part of what Apple's branded as iCloud. It merely indicates that you've purchased the app and will not be charged to download it to your device. Awful doesn't use any part of iCloud, if you were curious, though I do have some feature ideas that would.

The only thing Awful stores across installs is Instapaper login info (it goes in the keychain, which I think doesn't necessarily disappear when deleting an application). However I have a hard time connecting that to your problem. Awful could absolutely do a better job handling errors, when logging in and in general, so I'll put you down as a +1 for that.

It was indeed helpful, thank you. I'm working on changing the posts screen a bit and I think it will solve this problem, so hold tight.

That ability still exists! If it does not work for you, that is a bug. There should be a setting to hide the sidebar in landscape.

My log in issue could have potentially been user error anyway. I was copy pasting the password from a computer across splashtop at first, and the point at which it began working was when I typed it out manually instead. Maybe it intentionally does not like pasting passes, maybe I copied a space somehow, or maybe splashtop mangled it, I don't know.

Found another silly autoclose bug, but I don't have my laptop on this trip so I won't be able to do anything about it until Monday.

(If you have a parametrized opener like "[quote=" then the button activates as soon as you enter the "=", before the tag is actually finished with the "]".)

I need to get things sorted so I can run my builds on my devices, so I can find these things before release, sorry. :ssh:

Also, just had a bookmark duplicate, stayed like that until I killed the app. Minor, but thought I'd mention it. It was a thread I had recently posted in, which probably doesn't matter.
