There's still an issue where the image view where images load align to the top, instead of the centre, where they should load. Zooming in to any zoom level fixes it though.

New update is great, one bug so far: while the handoff between iPhone and iPad launches the app, it doesn't navigate to the page being viewed.

Little UI issue I ran into yesterday; I use the different bookmark thread colors to categorize the threads and I finally toggled some into yellow. The Awful app uses the thread color for the number of unread posts. When the thread color is yellow, that's very hard to read. There doesn't seem to be a way to turn off using the color for the unread post counter.

Post creation from iOS to mac doesn't work (or it doesn't for me) but if you're browsing a thread it'll let you open it in safari.

And going from mac to iOS will just open the current page in iOS safari.

You are certainly not alone with that opinion :) Tweaking those colors is on my list for sure.

To expand on xzzy's correct post, here is what currently works with Awful:
  • Reading a thread in Awful will hand off to Safari on the Mac at approximately the same post you're scrolled to, even if you're filtering by a single user.
  • Browsing a forum in Awful will hand off to Safari on the Mac.
  • Reading a PM in Awful will hand off to Safari on the Mac.
I haven't implemented Awful-to-Awful Handoff partly because that involved more effort, but mostly because I forgot all about it. Mac-to-Awful Handoff is not impossible but it would require some fiddling by the Powers That Be and I haven't bothered anyone about it yet.

Wow this is awesome. I suppose I need to read up on handoff in general. It is the first feature to come along to make me feel old and outdated. I'm not even 40 yet damnit! :corsair:

The fact that the edges of the emoticons get obscured by iOS RoundRect-ifying images in the Messages app is kind of a buzzkill. Is it heresy to suggest adding some pixel padding to the edges of the images as a workaround? And if it's not, is that still too hacky to work reliably?

Boy are people in for a treat.

e: Do the animated ones animate to recipients? They're all still when inserted into the textbox so I can't tell what the recipient sees.

Yeah I've been annoyed by that too. I'm not sure if any other apps try to deal with that in a similar way.

It's not impossible to add some padding when copying the image data. I'll have to see how annoying it is to do.

The finally-widely-available 3.1 release should take the place of the beta 3.1, thus saving you from an embarrassing expiry. But yeah I'll get a 3.2 beta out there shortly.

Is the final 3.1 the same as the last beta 3.1? Because the release version apparently doesn't come through as an update in the App Store if you're on the beta.

No, it's a version ahead. The only difference was an extra removed smilie or two.

Maybe that's what's stopping things from working as I expect.

I can't even get the App Store updates without wiping out the beta install entirely. It seems like you can only ever have one or the other and they're completely segregated.

My general impression with App Review is that while the first review (i.e. new app, new extension) is a thorough one, the subsequent ones not so much. I might test the waters by slowly pulling smilies off the list.

If that results in rejection then I'll look at ways to sideload them somehow. The good news here is that anything sideloaded will end up in both the extension and the app.

And now I can't push out the last build of 3.1 that ended up being accepted. I'm guessing it was my fuckup. I'll try Doing It Right for 3.2 and we can see how that goes.

It's because of the split keyboard. I haven't looked into dealing with that at all, but it is on my list.
