Bit of an esoteric issue, but it's a real bad one. If the current beta crashes while you're in the browser, it'll open back up to a completely blank screen.

Should be fixed in the next beta. Let me know if it isn't.

A thought: Would it be possible to add a feature where you can skip posts quickly? There are some posts that are long as a motherfucker that quote previous long posts to boot and it would be great to be able to quickly jump over them by, maybe, double tapping the lower part of the screen or something.

You're not the first one to suggest such a thing. I think we got hung up last time on how exactly one would trigger it. I'm open to it if we can decide how to cram it into the interface.

YouTube

iOS does some kinda goofy stuff with YouTube, but it is certainly possible to detect when the YouTube app is installed and shunt videos out there. So a setting to just always do that is certainly possible. I'll add it to the list.

The new beta is super broken. Looking at bookmarks is a crash. Looking at a forum is a crash. I had to revert to the latest official version.

Sorry for the terrible beta experience. I was running development versions on devices, but I guess I got out of sync.

Yeah, I mean, I'm sure it's not something specific to this thread, but there's something going on that can cause duplicates. Killing the app fixed it, but I'll see if it comes back.

A more consistent issue I'm noticing is that unread counts are failing to update more frequently than usual though.

Posting from the new beta. Canceling a post no longer leaves me with the grey box on the bottom half of the screen.

Yeah same here on this one, if I sit on the bookmarks page for a bit it updates but it's definitely laggy.

Yep I've found changing tabs real quick fixes it. I flip over to the forums then back to bookmarks and it instantly updates.

Will take a look. For now, it goes away if you scroll the affected threads off the screen and then back on the screen. Or you can

Honestly I think that looks kinda cool, but it's probably not ideal. I'll get into it.

I get crash reports, which don't include any user info or anything about what you were doing just before the crash. So if you've found a consistent way to trigger a crash, it's probably worth writing up in an email or posting here to help me fix it.

The app seems to be much faster in the beta. I'm not sure if it's optimising or the reinstall process, but it's good.

I think some people talked about badges not updating as fast. I had this with private messages & the badge stayed for far too long. I saw it once or twice for unread posts

The other problem that I've had is that quoting takes a long time to load up the prior post. The UI appears but there's no quoted post in it for a long time. It seems to churn trying to find the data like the problem that I used to have with general browsing. The loading signifier rotates for really long periods of time. There's still a brief delay on LTE, but this problem is noticeably worse on WiFi.

I changed the beta to throw up the write-your-post screen immediately, whereas the current App Store version waits for the quoted post text to come in first. Other than that it shouldn't consistently take any more or less time than usual for the text to actually appear.

For the first time got what I assume is the disappearing bookmark bug on the latest beta. Not positive. I know it shouldn't look like this:



I didn't do anything out of the ordinary. Just readin a thread then that. Scrolling behavior felt extremely odd. Force quit reset it fine.

I've had an intermittent issue (at least with the broken previous beta and this one) where my threads/bookmarks are off alignment vertically by about half the tap location, kind of like the post above me. If this happens where they wind up sitting below where they should, it prevents me from getting back the first "page" of threads in a forum view.

I'll snap a picture next time it happens.

This is actually a separate issue that I've seen crop up a couple times. Though it does have a similar effect of making the list mostly useless.

Does the list still work when that happens? Like can you still tap a thread to read its posts?

Perhaps it's in the nature of television. Just waves in space.
I went back like 6 pages and didn't see anyone say this, so non-beta bug:

Every time I view an image (by holding down on it), my app immediately crashes. Without fail, it always happens. I'm using the newest version of the app on my iPhone 6 with updated software, if that helps.

I'm still on the previous beta (30207?) and keep having an issue where returning to bookmarks or forum view from a thread causes this:



thread bookmarks turn white background and scrolling gets a little laggy / floaty. it's crashed a couple times so you may have some sort of logs.

That was basically the same thing I got a couple days ago. I realized the screenshot made it look off kilter, but it was just that.
