Just tried this on my Nexus 5 and it's not working there either.
EDIT: Subforums of Games load fine though.

I'm getting the same thing. Threads in games I have bookmarked load fine when I access them from the bookmarks list at least.

Nexus 4 w/CM11

EDIT: ^ The app doesn't even display that anywhere right? That's kind of hilarious.

I just checked, they deleted the info text for Let's play except for the -

Now the app looks for a text that's no longer there and throws an exception, causing it to not load the forum.

Yeah sorry, Google play handles this in a stupid way where a new production version will archive all alpha and beta versions. I also uploaded a fixed beta version, so you should get a new, old but fixed beta soon

On my tablet, changing orientation kicks me out to bookmarks from looking at posts in a thread. Is that expected?

Speaking of page numbers, I don't suppose that ui is ever going to stop using gingerbread-era buttons? The rest of the app is so nice now, except for them.

I guess you could, well, not disable gifs?
It's under device and navigation in the settings.

I don't know if this is a bug or just a design decision, but whenever my tablet rotates from portrait to landscape, the screen goes all the way back to the front page, and it loses my place in whatever thread I'm reading. Is there a way to stop this without disabling rotations altogether (because I use my tablet upside-down to keep my charging cord and headphones facing upward)?

My gifs don't load in line either. Nor do they load in line when I touch them. now it just opens a 'open with' dialogue instead of the load/copy url dialogue.

android 5.0.1 nexus 5.
I just cleared my cache partition today to try improving performance.

I'm pretty sure Settings > Posts > Always open links has to be disabled to get Awful's menu to show up when you tap a link or image and it sounds like you have it enabled.

I should probably just disable it for images. Possibly for links as well.

Is swipe up from bottom of page for next page / refresh no longer a feature? It quit working around the same time as the Material update.

I think pull-to-next missing is an issue with the library that's being used (and it's a Google library), but pull-to-refresh should still work.

This is gone from the app for now because I'm giving up on implementing pulling-up-to-refresh for various libraries because they don't deem it a use-case. Tapping works basically just as well, in some cases better. I'm just worried about the storm of "How dare you take this essential part of Awful away from me" posts that will follow the release of the beta to "production".

Via pm:

A certain user is highlighted in orange when they post in threads and I cannot see a way to turn it off why is this?

You've marked the user, there should be an option in the more button menu of the user's posts to unmark.

I'm running awful on my kindle fire hd, and I've lost the games forums. They were there last night I think, and I still have them on my phone, but they just keep falling to load on my tablet. Did I flip the "fixed" switch to "broke"?

That's fine. I had gotten used to it but it clearly isn't a deal breaker.
I have bad habit of tapping too low and getting the notification pop-up on my tablet.
Pulling up was easier to not screw up.

This was fixed in an update, iirc. Maybe sideload the updated apk or something?

The serious answer is that the original developer didn't believe that one could make good, well researched and written OPs from a phone. This was a couple of years ago when the environment (especially in GBS) and hardware available to the average user were both much different than what we have today.

There's like 0 chance I'm even starting on implementing posting threads when people still somehow manage to make posts in wrong threads. I'd rather have Awful.apk be the app that can't make threads than be the apps that autobans people.

I also know what you mean.

I think the compromise is what SALR offers.. when you submit a reply, it goes off immediately. When you submit a post, it takes you to a second screen and you have to submit it again. Maybe also add a checkbox that says "I'm not an idiot and I mean to post this." type message?
