I am pretty new to this app, but I am not getting a forum refresh when using the app. I have the sidebar enabled, but I always need to manually pull down to refresh the thread listings, is this by design?

I am also having the youtube "problem"

Just released 3.8, it might fix your issue so give it a go!

I realized this has been asked before but is there any possibility of FYAD flags being added? They would enhance my experience with this app greatly.

Will be in next version (3.9).

Mastigophoran posted:

edit - it is of course 15 minutes after posting this that I notice that the app doesn't honour posts/page user settings. I am having a bad day...

That's a conscious choice for (admittedly debatable) reasons. If we ever end up revamping that part of the app I expect we'll relax that constraint.

No idea. Hopefully it fixes itself with the next round of betas.

Minor UI nitpick: when the forums return a database error (as they have a couple times this morning) when moving to the next page with the > button, the db error pops up, but the page count still increments as if I've changed pages successfully. Pulling up to change page doesn't change the count, seemingly.

Will add it to the list!

Bug report, current release.

Sometimes a previously expanded forum will display the expanded - as opposed to v. It will be collapsed in the thread list. Quickly pressing the expand/collapse touch point three times (expand, collapse, expand) will cause a crash to springboard.

Edit: to avoid any hypocrisy-

Expected result: does not crash to springboard

I really gotta fix this. Will tentatively be in the next version, 3.9.

Oddity:



Sometimes bans aren't linked to any specific post and are done by admins through the admin panel. When you tap on one of these in the Lepers tab in Awful nothing happens but the entry gets stuck highlighted and it looks like something's broken. So, like, that's a minor UI issue I guess.

Now on the list, thanks!

This has happened to me for a while, even did it on my old iPhone 5, and another iPhone 6 Plus

It usually only happens with photos that are shot with my phone and unedited. If I edit the photo in any way I don't get the error.

Although sometimes a photo is uploaded without error regardless of whether or not I've edited it.

Interesting re: photo edits. I'ma write that down, might help me fix it!

Not by design and should be better in the just-released version. Ditto YouTube "problem".

Thread list auto-loading is sweet and toggle to gif is awesome, but doesn't work for all gifs, the overlay is there but it plays regardless. Also my bookmarks now have a spinning loading icon at the bottom of the list that won't go away.

E: just refreshed a couple of times and it vanished.

Liked the patch notes and the new pull to refresh icon. :)

This didn't seem to fix the YouTube issue, I'm afraid.

This is a known issue with GIFs that were uploaded to Imgur more than a couple years ago. I haven't figured out how to fix it, but I've only come across two or three posts where it's happened in the month or so since I started working on the feature, so I'm hoping it's an edge case that we can ignore. Definitely let me know if you come across it more often.

Ahh okay. Yeah there are way more gifs around that work just great with the toggle and ones that don't work seem to be pretty rare overall. Either way as is the feature is fantastic and makes gif-heavy threads super smooth, reduces loading times and battery usage significantly it would seem. I wish I could get something like that for Safari too.

Since updating Awful crashes to Springboard on launch. I've tried removing and reinstalling the app; it'll stay stable and let me log in, then immediately crash (and crash on launch again after that again). This is on an iPad Pro.

Ooh, scrolling is so smooth now! Also loving YouTube links opening in YouTube again.

EDIT: Spoke too soon. With browser set to Awful and YouTube set to "Open in YouTube", it's still trying to open YouTube links in the Safari view, rather than just jumping to YouTube.app.

EDIT2: Huh. Just tried another link and it did work. The one that didn't work was a quoted link. I'll play around a bit more.

Thanks Awful.app team! :)

Could you post the link that didn't work as expected? It might just be a matter of there being a kind of YouTube link we're not matching.

Using 3D Touch to preview a thread from my bookmarks works, but if I press harder to open the thread it fails and says it couldn't load it.

I don't post in here enough when things are working great or smoothly, but thanks to everyone who takes time to work on this app! I probably do 95% of all my browsing through this.

Thinking about it, I've only browsed something awful on the computer like 3 times in the last year.

For some reason, instead of "pages", pages now appear as "pp"; for instance if a thread has four pages it shows up as "4pp".

Because Pokey didn't like the icon, and "pp" means pages.

Just my opinion but I much preferred the icon to pp.

That being said, I didn't notice the change until I read this thread, so, whatever. :)

Which book do you want me to read, "How To Use Abbreviations Incorrectly"? pp isn't used to describe multiple pages, it's used to describe a range. For example - pp 165-173. It just looks out of place in this context, but I don't care as it doesn't affect the use of the app (which has been a godsend for many years).

in the bookmarks tab you have to do the 3d touch on the actual icon to the left of each bookmark, not the text.

The thread icon? Still no luck. It either counts as a long press, enters a "pressed down" state until I let go and it loads the thread, or enters that weird iOS9 multitasking gesture.
