I'm noticing the choppy scrolling too, even on a 6+. I'd debug it, but the keyboard extension is complaining about entitlements so I can't run it on my device. Pokeyman, some help?

EDIT: Well, even the simulator shows the performance issue:


Seems that autolayout constraints aren't in good shape, and it's wasting a ton of time trying to resolve them.

How do you mean? How it behaves when you paste a youtube link in? Or when you click a link to a youtube video?

Hmm, looks like the problem is the layout constraint for the cell separator:

code:
// Can't do this in IB.
        addConstraint(NSLayoutConstraint(item: separator, attribute: .Trailing, relatedBy: .Equal, toItem: self, attribute: .Trailing, multiplier: 1, constant: 0))
When I comment it out, I lose the separators but performance is fine. So I just have to figure out a way to set this up better...

Since iOS 8 the browser version of the YouTube player has been pretty bad about locking up and you have to manually kill the app to get out of the video. The YouTube app worked better but still had issues. They updated their app to use a different player which works without issue. I think the browser version of the player has finally been fixed too. I just asked a while ago if there was an easy way to have a link to open the YouTube app from links in posts. Several weeks ago I finally noticed that the long press menu had an "open in YouTube" option. I could use the browser one now without issue, but I've grown used to the extra options that the app gives me so I still use the option.

E: plus the full screening doesn't leave a visible bar at the top on the iPad.

Okay, I delivered a change set to fix the performance issues. Really cleared them up on my iPad 4 and iPhone 5, and even my iPhone 6 feels faster. I'm pretty confident I didn't introduce a new layout bug, but I'm not sure I'm testing every situation so I might have. I delivered into the ios 9 branch, but I could make the change in the master branch if we want to get it out faster.

Why do threads hide seen posts by default until I click previous posts?

Approximately equal parts avoiding extra loading and the pain of adjusting the scroll offset as unattributed images load in. We did used to have a "load last n posts" where n was configurable from like 0-5, and I think it's on the list to bring that setting back. Would that be helpful?

I know at some point someone switched Awful to use nearest neighbor scaling on emoticons in the app itself, that change probably didn't make it to the keyboard as well, or maybe it did but isn't working in iOS 9 for some reason.

Going to take a wild guess and say I have to get use to this font right? The font I type out looks great but the font in the app looks like a blocky code font.

Thanks for making this app though, makes everything a lot easier. Like it's really cool that you can bookmark archives, change backgrounds, favorite forums, and a bunch of other stuff that you normally can't do easily or at all on the web browser.

I'm not too surprised honestly, as we're doing gross things to UISplitViewController to get it to work with "hide sidebar in landscape". There are a couple ways I can think of that might fix it, one of which is "remove the setting" but ideally that doesn't happen.

'Twas a web view change, and the keyboard is not a web view. Not sure why there's new blurriness on the keyboard though.

It might've been some other error that looks similar to the "database unavailable" error from the Forums. Glad you got around it. We could do a better job reporting the error though.

I don't have any idea what's up. We do have a decent number of iPhone 6+-specific issues, but I don't think any of them are crashers.

When does it crash? As soon as you tap "quote post" or "reply"? After the reply screen slides up?

It's actually already implemented, if you're willing to manually tap "next page" over and over again, and can deal with images probably not being cached. Automating the "tapping next page" part would be pretty easy, though I'm wary of hitting the already slow Forums with lots of requests at once. Doing a better job of caching images is something we should do but currently would be a bit of a pain.

The only change to my device was that installed blockr. I already had crystal running and everything was fine. Installed blockr earlier then the crashes started to happen. The way I seemed to fix it was disabled both content blockers in settings opened awful and it worked. Went back into setting and enabled them both again and awful has continued to work fine.

Immediately after the reply screen pops up. Sometimes quoting works if I reload the page it was on, and sometimes not. Sometimes I get the crash if I try quoting and but not when making a new reply.

It'll also sometimes crash if I try editing my own post immediately after I make it.

Awful supports split screen view in the latest version of the source, and since part of being eligible for it is to have the build target "latest iOS," the App Store version probably doesn't. I'm not sure if pokeyman has sent out a beta after we finished converting to Swift 2 and iOS 9 or not.



Either way, support should be coming soon to the App Store version.

As I'm dicking around with the iPad version in the simulator, it looks like there's a bug where if the size changes and no thread is open, the back arrow might not appear so you're stuck looking at a blank screen unless you rotate to landscape. I'll try and isolate it a little more later.
