Looks like still needs a proper replacement as a thread icon.

EDIT: Also aside from the still-extant "forum disclosure open status doesn't persist" bug, it looks like closing the disclosure behaves weirdly. Some subforums (usually the first) may stay in place until the visual transition is done when they disappear suddenly, others move up above the parent forum row until they disappear when the visual transition is done. I see this most often with short subforum lists (i.e. not "Games")

I'm also not sure from a UI stance about the closed disclosure icon being a "V" considering that that usually means "disclosure widget is open". Given that the subforums aren't displayed at a deeper level to indicate their belonging in a disclosure, this is particularly confusing. (Maybe consider adding a slight background shade to subforum rows?)

EDITx2: Oh, and one other bug that I've been meaning to mention: If, for whatever reason, you want to look at your own profile (say, someone buys you an avatar because they're really angry about gay marriage and for some reason they decide that the best way at getting back at you is giving you some weird rambling title), hitting the "Profile" option on one of your posts will not work like it does for other users, and your avatar and posting info will not load.

I can't reproduce the share-button-from-browser crash in the simulator, hmm. I'll try on device in a bit.

pokeyman posted:

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.

I have a share-button-not-from-browser crash! Click the ellipsis at bottom right of a post, hit "Share URL" button, and insta-crash to home screen for me. This happens on my posts as well as other people's posts, and in both portrait and landscape orientation.

Additionally: in landscape mode, click on a post's bottom-right ellipsis. I don't see any good way to dismiss the sheet that pops up. Rotating back to portrait partially worked the first time (thread still had a slight overlay from the info sheet in portrait, but tapping somewhere removed the overlay), but not the second time (could not dismiss the sheet in landscape, could not remove the overlay in portrait; couldn't interact with the thread regardless). Didn't try the other buttons from landscape.

(Also the landscape sheet is weirdly enormous.)

iPhone 6+, iOS 8.4, Awful 3.4
Both these issues are new to 3.4 I believe.

So the super zoomed out issue in Awful with iOS 9 is a beta issue with Apple right? There's nothing I can do to fix it currently?

It showed up in iOS 9 beta 4. I'ma look around for a quick fix. As a possible workaround, some people have reported success bumping up the font size setting in Awful to 200% and then it's readable when the zoom out happens.

the yeti posted:

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.

Crystal clear. I'll add it to the list, thanks!

Awful's done that for ages now, even though I know it's not the right thing to do. Back on the list it goes!

I'm open to ideas here. I think it was spanky the dolphin leading the charge for the "V" icon, maybe they want to defend that choice? I don't have a strong opinion on it.

You aren't missing anything. It's been on the list for ages, just haven't gotten around to it. (I've somehow managed to keep my ignore list empty so I don't personally feel the burn, which is currently the #1 way features get implemented around here.)

I still have the issue where the drop down arrow to show child forums indicates that it has been clicked but no child forums are shown. I have to click the arrow twice to get them to expand.



Forums also no longer automatically refresh when I enter them. I have to manually pull down to refresh each time I go into a forum.

I don't mind another solution here either. Other than a plus symbol I can't really think of what else to use as a replacement though. Shifting the background color of the listed sub forums would help though. We should do that.

Yeah, double the small indent. I'm not hugely worried about horizontal density of the forum list, I admit.

The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.
I'm having a weird issue where when I long tap to full-screen an image, then zoom in and back out, the Done button disappears and I have to force quit Awful to get back to the thread view.

Running the latest Awful version on a 6+, only slightly unusual thing is that I'm running iOS 8.1

Get good

By which I mean, I've definitely seen that before too. Rotating to Landscape orientation may make the image viewer sheet disappear; otherwise, try swiping down to dismiss when the image is zoomed either all the way out or almost all the way out.
