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.

Oh. Stupid question but I'm guessing that's not how the app works. I've had an iPhone and this app for about a month now and I've never been able to go past page one on any forum. Just thought that is how it worked and was kind of annoyed I could in the android app but not this but never occurred to me it was a bug.

Also, just recently had a weird bug that went away after an app restart. A lot of my bookmarks had two listings. Not sure what caused it but I restart got rid of the multiples.

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.

I had this same problem and it was resolved by updating to the most recent update/jailbreak.

Not a bug necessarily, but does anyone think the Forums/Bookmarks/etc menu bar is more "transparent" than before in iOS 9 Public Beta 2? Maybe it was always that way and I just didn't notice.

Hey you know how when you open an image in the viewer, then tap the Share button, sometimes the Share sheet's background is invisible so it's impossible to read the button labels?

Go to settings and turn off the "Hide sidebar in landscape" option. Now behold as the image viewer's share sheet labels get their background!!

Because it's hidden from everyone. Unless you have permissions you can't enter it, so if you see it in the forum list in the app, it was put in via code.

Along those same lines, I've been seeing the mod forums in the app lately:




I know how the app gets the list of forums, so I know that forums I don't have permissions to see must occasionally be showing up in that dropdown on the site, but I've never managed to catch it happening.

So I'm still having the font size issue, but apparently if you tap + hold + swipe left, it doesn't make the font look hilariously oversized if you turn the scaling up real high to compensate for whatever's going on with the app. Or maybe it's swiping right? It's whichever way doesn't send you back to the side menu.

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?

carry on then posted:

Try leaving and reentering Awful? I think it's supposed to detect a forums URL on your clipboard when you switch into it.

Awful remembers the most recent URL it offered to open for you and won't ask you about that URL when it becomes active. Otherwise if you keep a Forums URL on your clipboard you'd get the alert every time, and I figured that was annoying.

When you use the Copy Thread URL button, that becomes "the most recent URL it offered to open", so you won't immediately get asked to open the URL you just copied. My thinking there was that you need to have the thread on screen to copy its URL, so it would be annoying to then ask you if you want to open the URL, because if you wanted it open you'd just open the thread right there.

This is a long way to say that if you change the URL by even a single character, it'll seem like a new URL to Awful. So you could e.g. paste your URL into whatever, let's say Notes, then add &hi=there to the end of the URL, then copy your new URL, and Awful should ask you to open it.

I noticed the blur looks different, though if you asked me to describe the difference I'd be at a loss. But yes, I do notice a difference. (iOS 9 beta 4 but I assume that's roughly equivalent to Public Beta 2.)

The newest beta lets me up the font size to 200% and the it'll show it oversized for a split second then adjust itself. So I guess this an alright meeting point until iOS 9 is fixed.

It seems like the sizing is correct until you start scrolling or otherwise interact with the page.

ProTip - If you're on a HugePhone+, turning it sideways breaks the app's layout and makes things "normal":

In the latest beta I'm seeing the bottom of pages cut off and only able to be seen if you scroll and hold. As soon as you release it goes back down. It's like the bounds of the webview and the toolbar aren't lined up.

Not only on posts either, it's everywhere in the app.

I'm also getting the blank blue bar when in landscape on the iPhone 6 plus.

IOS 8.4 to be clear.

I'll take a look. (If you're curious, error code -1 means the Imgur API response wasn't what I expected, for whatever reason. Probably my bad, or maybe they changed something on their end.)

Oh sorry, I forgot to mention in here, I fixed it last night. Should be on master branch. Issue was the "Open in Safari" activity looking in the wrong bundle for its image.

3.4 is currently In Review so I figure we can pop out a quick 3.5 with that fix and a couple others.

latest release Awful, ios 8.3

Not sure I've seen this noted before: On the keyboard if you go to the recent tab, tapping any smiley doesn't update the smiley graphics themselves, but does change the notice at the bottom of the screen when one is copied to the clipboard.

e.g., if my first four are

:yum: :awesomelon: :ohdear: :stonk:


the first time I tap :stonk:, I get the notice "Copied :stonk:" and nothing changes position. If I tap :stonk: again it says "Copied :ohdear:"

If I scroll down and back up then the order is changed to reflect the taps:

:ohdear: :stonk: :yum: :awesomelon:



I hope that's clear enough.
