The one from Gmail is pretty nice, has a sort of arrow/plane thing going on.

The send button already uses the same one.

The gmail app has a nice one but it's custom apparently and not part of the repository.

That is the Sent folder icon in Gmail.

The only other relevant thing I can see is the Outbox icon, did you mean this?

I'd use the first one to indicate you have new PMs, and the second to show a blank PM folder.

How about the 'call made' icon? The one you see in the dialer to show outbound calls, from the communication section here
http://google.github.io/material-design-icons/
It already has that association with outgoing communication, and you could have a subtitle saying 'Received PMs' or whatever with the incoming icon, so that describes what you're looking at and helps you understand what the outgoing icon means.

There are some weird icons on that page, what's with all the airline seats in various tilt positions :wtc:

Were you guys able to enter a message into the bug report? Because if so you are probably one of the "Native crash" reports I get directly from Google Play. Most likely the Webview caused the crash in whatever way.

Just pushed a new version into beta. Fixed a few things here and there and updated all the libraries. If the update logs are to believed, parsing should be noticeably faster now.

Now if the beta folks stop crashing their apps this should go out to everyone this friday.

I just pulled the Beta update from the Play store.

I have an issue.

When I view a thread and then swipe back left to get to the thread list, the thread I was just in shows the same number of undread posts. If I click on it again, it will take me to the same page I was just on and dump me at the top of the page.
I have to manually refresh the thread view (whether Bookmarks or Forums) to get the unread number to change.

I tried clearing cache and clearing data. The issue remains.

I found the bug that turned on page transformation on tablets. If you change something in the settings it will ignore whether or not the device is a tablet which leads to this.

It will be fixed in the final build, until then go to settings -> Device and navigation and set 'page transformation' to disabled.

As for the other, I cannot replicate it.

Rewriting the link stuff is on my list. Do I understand it right and you want to like always open market links?

/edit just noticed I hosed up something in the sidebar. Gotta take a look at that later.

Yeah, always open youtubes with youtube, etc. I was going back and forth on 'always show inline' for gifs, because that's the thing I find myself doing most often when interacting with an image, but.

Also, I recently unearthed my ancient, terrible Asus Slider and Awful can't load anything and crashes and burns if I try, consistently. Is 4.0 Awful Legacy territory now?

You could physically send it to me, other than that there's not much you can do. FWIW, the Xoom emulator equivalent I created has no problems with it. Did you mess in any way with the tablet? Root and whatever someone does with that?

It's an old bug that stems from imgur urls changing their format, and Awful trying to automatically turn images into thumbnails. I'm probably just gonna rip that out in the future. Just go to Settings -> images and disable the imgur thumbnails for now.

Let's see if this still happens after the update. Speaking of which:

:siren::frogsiren::siren:
Awful 3.2 is currently going out over the Play Store, expect it in a few hours. For people who can't wait, the apk is here or in the OP.

This also concludes the current round of beta builds, more will probably follow after the release dust has settled. Thanks to all the Testers.
:siren::frogsiren::siren:

To answer a few upcoming questions:
If the question contains "can I have {a thing} back", the answer is probably no.
If the question contains "can I disable {a thing} ", the answer is probably still no but could be "yes, in the settings".

And finally quoting this because there was little response:

I also noticed we don't have a product video on the play store and I think we definitely need to fix that. Just a quick video that shows off the main functions would be great. If you manage to wrap it in a continuous story, even better. No :nws: should be obvious.

As for both, be aware that while you might put work into it, we could end up not picking your entry, maybe none at all. Be also aware that the only payment will be that your icon will be in the app / video will be in the play store listing.
Unless of course someone wants to add an incentive with some forum upgrades (feel free to do so).

I just had a strange thing happen. I was reading a thread and the app stopped scrolling. The phone still responded otherwise, but if I opened the app switcher and scrolled around the title bar (or whatever it's called; visible only on the app switcher) duplicated, with one staying in its initial location and the other moving as normal. The extra title bar went away after going into any app, including Awful, and I was able to scroll again after maybe a minute. Switching apps had no effect on my ability to scroll, and the extra title bar thing didn't show up in a screenshot I took.

I know what you mean and considered it myself a while ago. The problem really is though that it would require some sort of background. As we currently don't have any graphics people there's not much to do there. I guess all the design people all iPhones or something :)

I think I rooted it once when I first got it, but I unrooted it and it has had two factory provided Android OS updates since then.

Other than that, I haven't done anything interesting with it.

The new version that just came out earlier today still has the same bug where it doesn't change the unread page view unless I manually refresh. I will just live with it. It's still the app I use more than any other on my tablet and I greatly appreciate all the work you've put into making it as awesome as it is.
