101 posted:That happened to me too. I had to install beta #4, log in and then update to #5. Everything seems to work fine now. That ended up being my fix, though I had to request my password reset email be sent before it took my current password (second time, I have no clue why). Once I was in I was able to go straight from beta #4 to #10 though. No worries though, this is why we agreed to beta test.

Last night I was wondering if we should actually just emulate the whole screen with the robot and have a giant refresh button. Then there was the part of me that figured this was it and that database was never coming back.

I often get flakey reception, especially on my train commute, so I find the big network error pop-up that I have to dismiss quite annoying. Especially when I give up on a thread loading, then open the app later when connected to good Wi-Fi and the network error is the first thing that pops up. Is it possible to get a more subtle banner or something?

I just pushed the offscreen-unload stuff. I'm worried that the UIWebView scroll event model is going to require some whackamole, because the viewport dimensions are sometimes not updated properly if I sample them during scrolling, meaning that things don't get reloaded when they should. I can trigger it easily on the simulator, but it's pretty rare on my phone. I might need to be less clever about just touching images that have entered/exited, and fully reprocess when scrolling stops? We might want to have a pref to control it, if it causes really aggressive evictions that bother people. We might also only trigger it if there f.e. > 5 content images on a page? I currently just use the system "image missing" placeholder, because it's cheap and easy (about:blank). Let me know if you want to do something else there, but keep in might that the image could be arbitrarily scaled. I don't really know how to monitor memory use, but I'm sure some time with Instruments will enlighten me.

Pushed an improved version of the viewport calculation, seems to work Just Fine on my device and simulator now. Typing this I realized how I could make it more efficient, but worst case we process 600 tags on a given scroll event (5 images * 40 posts/page * all 3 events firing -- unlikely) and I have to run to an appointment. I'll take a look at it tonight if I get a chance. Others' impressions of memory usage and image-heaving thread load speed are very welcome!

Is it possible to get a more subtle banner or something? Good call, it's on the list! There's a few things going on here. "Error loading thread you've long since backed out of" is worthless and shouldn't be displayed at all. Whereas "auto-refreshing failed" might be worth a subtle mention up in the status bar but isn't worth a big fuckoff alert.

Try flicking the scrollview so it slides towards an offscreen, swapped-out image. For me, the image doesn't load until I touch the scrollview again.

I'll take a peek, sorry. I also don't like what it seems to do to Previous Posts. Edit: to update during inertial scroll, we might have to do our own scrolling with one of the JS libraries, or generate events ourselves from the native side. Mein leben.

I was running 2.0.9 beta 3 and updated to 2.0.10 beta 2 and now the beta app crashes every time I try to open it. Falling back to 2.0.9 beta 4 worked though.

This is on an iPad, dunno if UIWebView changes anything between iPad and iPhone. If nothing else it'd be easy to call some JavaScript from native-land once inertial scrolling is done. Not as pretty but might be enough. I'm very wary of doing our own scrolling in JavaScript, if that helps guide your search for solutions.

Even trying to reposition over it multiple times doesn't work. It's an on-again, off-again issue, but it's really annoying.

Yeah, I know you fixed it but I honestly can't remember in which version, so let's just say it will be fixed in an "upcoming version". I guess this is what happens when you have another release just about ready to go before the previous one is even approved.

pokeyman posted:Can you long-press the link and copy the URL, then paste that URL here? I feel like I'm missing something really obvious, because I can't reproduce what you're seeing. This is old, but I haven't posted here in a bit. The problem was the view jumping when clicking a link to a post. It affects all post links. This is an example URL: http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3644579&pagenumber=1&perpage=40#post431253402 It initially will load and show the appropriate post, but then it jumps virtually instantly to the first post on that page and stays there. I've reinstalled the app several times, but this doesn't fix it. It seems to be permanently broken whatever I do.

Vaz posted:Can links be in wee bit brighter color in dark mode? Yellow? Orange? Instead of blue? Are you using the app in sunlight a lot or something? Never heard that complaint before and changing the color is nowhere near my idea of solutions. There's a new dark mode in testing that is significantly darker, maybe that will give you the contrast you need.
