SA's certificates expired, I think. Problems should go away once they fix that, but I don't know of away around it in Awful unfortunately.

If you long press the title of an embedded YouTube video it pops up two context menus.

I really like Awful; it beats the pants off of the Android app. I have a suggestion, though! If I leave a thread open with the app in the background, and return to it to refresh the thread by dragging upwards, there's often no rhyme or reason as to where the page decides to finish loading into memory. In the Android app, the oldest unread post would always be the breakpoint. Could this be implemented?

Thanks for the app!

Posting on Awful on the iOS 9 beta, working well so far!

Just be warned, if you hate the new font they're using, it's here too! ( Why would you hate that font, though?)

I made most (or all? I can't honestly remember) of the existing forum-specific stylesheets and it's unlikely that I'll ever make any more, because it's just a huge pain in the rear end to maintain them all.

Knowing Pokeyman's general attitude towards contributors though, I'm sure that if someone else wants to makes one, he will be happy to include it.

Not sure if it's a side effect of iOS 9 or what, but the formatting weirdness of the post counts in the sidebar is fixed.



What I don't know is whether or not it's possible to take the fancy extra paste options (The ones that are for video, url, and such that come after Copy and Paste when you long press) and put them into the fancy new dedicated paste button that iOS 9 added. Are Apple letting people do that?

Shake to undo removing a bookmark still immediately crashes the app on my 6+

Edit: to clarify, shaking brings up the dialog box, pressing Undo crashes the app and does not restore the bookmark.

Can we also maybe get a "are you sure you want to remove" prompt as an option? Maybe I'm just clumsy, but I've had a recurring issue with fumble fingering away bookmarks.

It's not just you. I've run into this issue way more often than I'm comfortable with.

I've got everything up to this point written down, bugs and feature requests both.

In general, any iOS 9-specific stuff (including new keyboard-adjacent menus) I plan on handling only once Awful requires iOS 9 (which will probably happen shortly after iOS 9 ships). In the meantime I'll make sure the current version works acceptably on iOS 9. Of course, if anyone is interested in implementing some iOS 9-specific stuff before then, great!

Have you tried compiling Awful in Xcode 7? I get a few errors about missing initializers (among other things) and I'm not sure if they're bugs in the analyzer or issues we need to fix.

For some reason GBS isn't loading the thread lists past page 1 in the app. Pulling up doesn't make more threads show below or load a new page of threads. Works in other main/sub forums though.

Okay. That’s weird, I just tested it and it worked fine. I decided to take screenshots of each button press to show how it should look. Now, after choosing img instead of giving me from library from camera etc it gives me url img format and video. None of them do anything after selecting from the submenu.

If it seems to get stuck in a loop of "img | url | format"->select "img" -> "img | url | format" (again) -> select "img" ->[menu disappears] (especially if you're quoting another post) you'll need to quit the app and restart it so the image posting stuff works again.

I hate that bug

I have not. We'll need to do a big Swift 2 refactoring, and I'm putting that off until focus switches primarily to an iOS 9 release.

Maybe I'm dumb but is there a way to jump to a thread? I.e. I've got a url to a thread that's really old and very far down on my bookmarks, but I have the url from the Copy Thread URL button, can I paste it anywhere to go directly to it?

Well, I can go over it again - when I use the app browser to view YouTube videos, decently often I can't get back out of the video at the end. I have to force close the app and find where I was before. I can use the "open in (browser)" for the links which redirects to the YouTube app (the only thing that hasn't had the same issue since iOS 8's release) but it opens a tab in the browser as well. It's mildly annoying, which is why I didn't bother mentioning it for a while but I was just curious if anything was still planned for it.

I guess I didn't specifically answer your question - I'm just looking for an option to open the links in the YouTube app automatically. Obviously nothing critical.
