I'm on 8.1 for now (new Lumia 640 I literally got less than 12 hours ago) but its nice to know its not my phone trying to block SA by itself.

I have this app on my surface 3 and was curious, are the forums supposed to be in reverse? For example in discussion Goons In Platoon is the first subforum and Games is the last. Is there a way to change it so it's the same as the site?

Is there a way to change it so it's the same as the site? It's a bug with how the forums are stored in the database. Basically after I first parse the forums when you load the app, it saves the list to the database so I don't have to do it again. When they are saved, it uses the forums actual ID values as the primary key, and loads it from that list. The problem is that the ids are not the order the forums are displayed, so they are in the right categories, but not the right order. Right now you can favorite the forums you go to a lot (Hold down or right click the forum) and click "Add as Favorite" to get it to appear at the top.

I've just had my first crash to desktop with the app, no idea why. Also, saving images via double click doesn't appear to work; it asks me if I want to save, then immediately says it failed after clicking okay. I haven't got W10 on mobile to test it there. On a side note, I haven't been on the desktop site since I got Windows 10; this app is radical and I have no need for some scrub-tier 'website' anymore.

Check if your Windows 10 Pictures library has a directory assigned to it.

Done, and the answer is yes, with a but. All of my pictures are in OneDrive, so when I synced my OneDrive folders there were now two sets of Pictures folders in my user directory - I deleted the empty one (the original non-OneDrive one) and Windows then automatically set my Pictures directory to D:\OneDrive. Is it possible that deleting that spare folder has screwed things up? Is there anywhere I can check, other than looking under Properties for the Pictures folder in my user directory?

I'm guessing that it can't save to the OneDrive directory directly because of a permissions error, or something along those lines. Based on what you said I assumed it would be something like that (either not existing or not being able to write to it). I'll add it to the list.

My last update finally went through last night, so now I can start getting ready for another update. I fixed the forum listing issue: However I had to get creative with how I was saving them to the database. Basically, I need to reinitialize it so on the next update, all favorite forums will be cleaned. Sorry, but I would rather not risk blowing up the app on a migration than just doing it this way .

Starting up on the Bookmarks page works, but the list seems to be in thread ID order, and doesn't refresh automatically at start.

Both fixed already, I just need to get another update out. The bookmark listing is the same issue as with the forums (PrimaryKey being the forumID, but now it will be a specific "BookmarkID" to maintain that order) and the "Refresh when you go back to bookmarks" was fixed earlier in the week, but was not apart of the last update because of the weird poo poo the store was doing.

I haven't updated to the build you just posted, but on my Win8.1 Dell Venue 8 Pro, threads occasionally refuse to load in full. Hitting the jump to newest post button when I know I'm on a new page will only load a few new posts, no matter how many times I refresh. Not sure if this is a known issue or something that's been fixed.

More problems, not sure if they are isolated to my system. Entering the Bookmarks view is insanely slow. As in, takes half a minute or something where the entire UI is just frozen. No throbbers or grayed-out shown. In addition to happening when starting the app into Bookmarks view, and selecting it from the side menu, it also seems to happen when reloading the list. The back button misbehaves with the Bookmarks view. If I start the app into Bookmarks, then chooses e.g. Settings, then About, then Bookmarks again,and enters a thread from Bookmarks, the Back button goes back to first About. If I then choose Bookmarks in the side menu again and enters another thread, then Back will take me further back, to Settings this time. I'm not entirely sure about the order of action here, but that's what I remember doing.

nielsm posted:More problems, not sure if they are isolated to my system. If bookmarks load slow, there is about an 80% chance it's Something Awful itself being slow when pulling it down. It should not screw up the UI (as in, you should be able to select something else and have that action cancel) but I can't reproduce that. For the back button, that's working as expected. At least based on what you described. The back button works on page navigation. If you have the bookmarks list AND the thread next to each other, that's actually one page. So it's actually Bookmarks/Thread > Settings > About > Bookmarks/Thread Now, if you shrink the window down so you only see the thread, THAT is actually a seperate page, so it should go Bookmarks > Settings > About > Bookmarks > Thread And then if you click the back button, you'll go back to bookmarks, you'll go back through the page navigation. Back to the original bookmarks opening page. If you navigate to multiple threads, the back button won't go back through that list. Because it's not navigating through multiple pages, it's just changing what's on screen.

It should not screw up the UI (as in, you should be able to select something else and have that action cancel) but I can't reproduce that. I should have been clearer. As far as I can tell, it's not reaching for the network at all when I do this navigation to the Bookmarks page. It just freezes. After it unfreezes it's still showing an old bookmarks list, I have to press Reload after that to also get the new bookmarks. During that reload it also seems to freeze, instead of showing a throbber. Also, when experiencing this I was using the app on a tablet in vertical 800x1280 resolution, so the Bookmarks/thread view was only ever showing one or the other, not showing them side by side as they do when reading on my HTPC running 1920x1080.

Posting from a HP Stream 8 running Windows 10. Under 8.1 the app scaled very nicely to the screen size but now everything is just a little bit too small for my tastes, which is odd because the other apps I've checked (Twitter, for instance) scale properly. Is there any way to change the scaling of the app, or at the very least increase the text size? [Edit: also how do you bookmark a thread while reading it?] [Edit edit: tried changing the global scaling setting from 100% to 125%... the app apparently ignored it somehow Tiny forums it is!] asecondduck fucked around with this message at 04:16 on Aug 10, 2015 |

Is the new app available on the Store for phones running the Windows 10 preview? The description is for the Windows 10 version, but the interface is still the 8.1 version, despite uninstalling and reinstalling. I also can't open the app from my home screen; it brings up an error message saying "This app couldn't install", but it opens just fine from the Store itself, bizarrely. Sorry, this may all relate to the previous version of the app, but it's on Windows 10, so I'm aware this could just be bugs in the preview build, so if that's the case then I'll have to be patient!

You can hold down on a thread in the thread list to do it. I can add it to the thread view at some point.

Because you can't use the mobile version yet. The current build in the store does not work on the build for mobile phones. From what I'm guessing, when a newer build is released, it should let you download the actual 10 release. But until then, you would have to use the current Windows Phone 8.1 version. Note, I can't even deploy copies of it to my own phones running it from Visual Studio. I would have to use the emulator until a newer phone build comes out.

It works totally fine on my Surface Pro 3 and Dell XPS 13 (Both of which have DPI scaling on) so I'm not sure what you're issue could be. Strange, here's a screenshot of how it looks: The buttons on the side and the text are way smaller than they should be (this is at 125% scaling). Like, the buttons are less than a quarter inch big and pretty hard to press, and the button labels are like 4pt. A few other apps are exhibiting the same issue (Reddhub, for instance), while others (Twitter) are not. Maybe it's an issue with apps that are using old Windows 8 code instead of using the new universal app framework? The app scaled perfectly for the few minutes I used it on 8.1 while 10 was downloading. For comparison, this is how Twitter scales on my tablet's 8" display: The buttons and fonts are significantly bigger by comparison. [Edit: Wait, what the gently caress, I just checked both screenshots on my laptop and the fonts and stuff look exactly the same size, what the gently caress is going on here ] Drastic Actions posted:Right now you can't add a bookmark directly from a thread.

But landscape mode now has the split view, which means that the threads only take up half the screen, leading to tiny comic strips. Is there a way to disable split view in landscape?] asecondduck fucked around with this message at 18:52 on Aug 11, 2015 |

Hey Drastic Closing the app and restarting it set it back to normal, but that was weird. The buttons all worked though! (also now that I have a bit of downtime and Windows 10 on my machine I swear to god I will actually try to help you out with layout stuff)

I'll look out for it. The error is a SQLite exception

I think it's Windows 10 rather than the app, but when I download the Awful app off the Store on the current 10512 build of W10 Mobile, it simply won't install - it seems to get to the end of the process, then gives the error code 0x80070002 and says it 'can't find the app'. Attempting to reinstall, it doesn't download the whole app again, so it's there somewhere, but it can't install. When I first upgraded to W10 Mobile it couldn't run the app unless I opened it through the Store, now on the current build I can't access it at all. Any idea on the inner workings of W10 so I can fix it and use the app, or shall I just chalk it up to being a preview build? On desktop it seems to involve deleting temporary files, but how you do that on mobile I have no idea.

Go to your SA User Control Panel on the site and enable "Mark posts on pages I've already seen in a different color". Also there are no page navigation buttons. For bookmarks it automatically gets all of them (and it should be getting all of them if you have the newest version). For normal thread lists, it automatically goes to the next page when you scroll down the list.
