I'm curious about some images not loading in the thread while you're (presumably) on cell data. Has it always worked that way for you?

Yep. On wifi (at home, 50mbps) I can't make it skip an image. I've tried to freak it out in fact - rapid scrolling, page changes, etc. I've succeeded in crashing it a couple times but never a missing image. If I just turn off wifi on the cell phone and load a similar page, I can be guaranteed one will just be a small blank box. It could be bandwidth/timeout related I guess. The places I use it most heavily have a bad signal or spotty bandwidth due to tons of cell phones in the same place.

Ok. I can't think of anything Awful could do to make things better for you. I'm certainly open to suggestions if anyone has any!

I would totally localize Awful if someone wanted the practice.

Yeah, another vote for just don't show anything. I know if it's not the end of the thread both from the page number not being X of X for a given value of X, and also from the pull being refresh instead of next. Issues where it refreshes instead of changes pages are bugs that we can definitely look into.

I don't feel like having "End of the thread" as it currently is in the live version is a bad thing. Maybe that's just me but I never thought of that as an issue.

iOS 9.02, latest version of awful (3.7?), iPad.

If I'm in the middle of a thread, leave the app (by switching to the home screen or another app) and come back, the view has scrolled several posts (a couple of screens) up. This is a relatively new thing, I never saw it on iOS 8. It's getting kinda annoying. Am I the only one with this issue?

Also happens if you change orientation. I think it's maybe a state restoration bug in iOS9, because I saw it in another app as well.

Probably something we could work around, though.

Sort of related to that; after iOS 8-point-something whenever I open Awful it loads a blank white page with the top bar and throws me into the forums view whereas before it always remembered if I was in bookmarks or in a forums when I quit the app. I guess it's just some iOS 8 quirk?

Yea. I notice it a lot if I accidently change orientation while looking at my timeline in Twitter

I'm on 9.0.2 now but it's something that started happening with one of the iOS 8 updates, not just with Awful either. Not a massive deal as I never close the app until I'm done with reading the forums, though.

On the dark version of the latest beta Awful, when you tap a thread in bookmarks the thread space flashes white. Also things look different there. Pages are called pp and poster names are right aligned?

also I can no longer view videos within the Awful app -- it prompts me to open the YouTube app, which I'd rather not do. I'd rather view it within the Awful app.
