[Awful losing Forums login] I've had that for some time during the beta though after a pull request it seemed to be gone. Try clearing the app data and report back if it comes up again.

By the time I posted it had already happened after clearing app data. If it was a one-time thing I probably wouldn't have brought it up.

EDIT: Ooo, update. I'll let you know how it goes.

I'm having a few problems with the new version. Sometimes the ap won't respond to swipes unless I refresh the page. Other times, I'll have the ap click through onto a page I previously visited. Example: Let's say I browsed SH/SC, and then went back to the main forum index. If I were to select games (or any other sub forum), the ap instead takes me to the SH/SC thread that would have had the corresponding position of the sub forum I selected. As of right now, the awful ap is barely usable on my phone as of this current version.

I'm getting something similar here - touch doesn't work on the area that would be covered by the menu pop-out (even though it's not open). I uninstalled and reinstalled, but it didn't fix the issue.

My famed hatred of electronics brands aside, there's an issue affecting some Samsung devices because of some conflict they baked into their ROM, and it might be hitting more people. It was more of a heads-up that there are sometimes issues that don't emerge until the app is widespread, so some things will still need working out!

An issue that affects users of a Galaxy S3 Mini variant released in Latin America. I think they have a much bigger issue, the fact that they're using a Galaxy S3 Mini.

Just want to say thank you for fixing the bug(?) that was caused when you went to the next page in a forum or your bookmark list; if you had scrolled to the bottom of a page and hit next, you'd start at the bottom of the next page. Small gripe, but I'm glad it doesn't do this anymore.

This is a nerd affliction where they see space without text in it and go "but I could have words there!". This totally disregards what a century of UI design has taught us...white space improves readability.

Of course, you could make the argument that white space is misused, but that's a different complaint that no one has yet made.

New update looks great all around.

I don't read about design so maybe I can't articulate it in the words you want, but I fart on your century of UI design. If "readibility" is what brings us articles with comic book bolding and italicizing and size 50 quotes popped out against full-screen two depth of field photographs sign me up for social security benefits right now.

IMHO some of the changes feel more tacked on than part of an integral design. Eg the spinning circle thing in addition to the horizontal blue line when pages load. What's the use of the circle, when the blue line already informs me about the progress, and does so in a subtle, less intrusive way? The FAB button echos the feeling of usability overkill. I liked the previous version because it was an exercise in elegance and simplicity, the current implementation strays from this path for the sake of .... material. I don't know, for me there's no improvement.

Also thank you for your work, I know I'm bitching like I paid 500$. But it's like my number one used app on Android.

its so that fab wouldn't overlap the content. personally i'd make the fab hide when scrolling but w/e.

I know nothing about smartphones or apps or anything, but I just wanted to report that on my (admittedly crappy) Samsung GT-I9100 Galaxy S II the app has an issue after I go back to my bookmarks from a thread. For some reason it stops registering touch except for the top 20ish % of the screen, basically right below the blue menu, when it comes to scrolling or opening threads. I can navigate the pages and refresh just fine using the lower menu.

Love the new design though.

Wow all this and just 3.2 not 4.0? Awesome. I no longer have that issue where the bottom buttons turn invisible.
A small suggestion, and if you say I should have said something during beta I totally understand.
For the side menu, rather than a large and cropped avatar, put it in a small circle with some color or pattern behind it (see Gmail).

I wish I knew poo poo about design to help with the icon, I'm just a lowly web developer. :shrug:


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 :)
Maybe the SomethingAwful blue with a slight shadow texture? I get a solid color when I use the gmail app for a non @gmail address.

You are complaining about a thing that has nothing to do with the app, which really changed very little.

Tbf it does look kinda weird having the pull icon at the bottom, a half loading circle and the blue bar all for loading.

And while the extra space and big square icons looks nice on my tablet, it does kinda irk me on the phone.
