Super strange. Worked randomly for a few minutes, then crashed again in the same way. Seems to crash on both the login and after logging in of I get enough time to let it go through.

Did the RSF change? I think that was the issue that was causing crashes maybe like a month ago - the app expects a certain forums list and craps out when it gets something different (or something like that).

Hello thread I've been neglecting!

withak posted:

I've noticed that the app seems to not keep very good track of unbookmarked threads. I unmark TVIV threads (sometimes in the app, sometimes on my computer) before a new episode comes out that I can't watch right away, then catch up with the thread and re-mark after I have time to watch it. When I go to re-mark the thread through the lower-right options menu, sometimes the app shows the un-mark button, apparently thinking that I still have it bookmarked from a while back.

I think the app only updates its "is bookmarked" flag when it loads the bookmarked threads tab. That's not ideal though. I forget why it doesn't update from loading a page of the thread itself. I'll take a look.

I'm on board. I probably won't get on it anytime soon though :(

EL BROMANCE posted:

Also o seem to always have a copy/paste handle visible in random parts of the screen for some reason in the app now. I have no idea why.

That's been hanging around for awhile. I think it's a result of my shenanigans with the menu controller (that's the little guy that pops up to offer cut, copy, paste, select all, etc. on a selection of text).

Gorgar posted:

Would it be possible to display that there is a poll for a thread, and maybe what the options are? Or does this already work but I somehow did not enable it?

It does not currently work, you aren't missing anything. It's on the list, but that's been true for literal years at this point, so it's not super high priority unfortunately.

Your Dead Gay Son posted:

If you "edit" a post then change your mind and decide to reply and make a new one it still only edits the original post.

Sorry about that, it's not very good I know. I want to put in some kind of menu or something that makes it more obvious what you're coming back to.

If you go to another thread (not just tap a link but go back to a thread list and tap a thread), it'll delete your saved draft. Best I got at the moment.

noirstronaut posted:

I don;t know if this is documented, but every time I make an SA Mart thread, the category is flipped. As in, if I post as buying from within the app, it will be selling and vice versa.

Whoops! I will take a look.

In dark mode, I'd like to see the title bar darker than the current teal. Something grey or dark blue/purple would work.

That bar would look cool if it matched the bottom bar:



Sure! It's just in Themes.plist if anybody wants it done before I lazily get around do it (key is navigationBarTintColor).

Also - for some reason the thread title is slightly to the right of center. Can this be corrected?

So it is! I'll take a looksee.

That's lovely. I suspect UIApplication's on to something with the forum list, though I'd need to reproduce it or check crash logs to be sure.

Bug report: after hitting "Scroll to the End", I'm having a weird time getting the pull up to refresh to work.

Manually swiping to scroll down does not have the same problem.

iPhone 6, latest Awful, latest iOS.


Also, that above webm didn't automatically change into something playable. Was that not the case from the change notes?

If you have VLC installed it offers to play it using that.

You can't play WebM using the built in player in iOS because Apple is heavily on the M4V side of the web video debate.

I've seen this on previous Awful/iOS versions as well! Don't remember if I've reported or seen others report it yet.

[fe:fb] I think that patch note meant that clicking a webm link will open it in the VLC app (which can play webm, assuming you have it installed). And it looks like it's working for me! :D


Bug re-report: despite the new Awful app, swiping quickly to close a web view still causes the thread view to become mostly unresponsive :smithcloud: although there's an interesting new twist! Even though most links do nothing but scroll the threadview down by a couple pixels, clicking on a webm link will still open it in VLC! :yayclod:

(Latest Awful released on App Store last night or this morning = v3.10, still on iOS 9.2 though)

My phone got stuck in a "ghost update" state with 3.10. The circle animation was stuck at 75%. I tried deleting it, restarting the download, etc but I just an unkillable Awful app with the placeholder icon. Eventually with a reboot and enough messing around iOS figured out it should remove it.

I don't know if that's something that can be caused by the app itself or if it's a general iOS issue, but it feels like it's happened before with Awful.

Swipe a bit slower. I seriously don't know what's going on but I think it's a bug in iOS. Which reminds me I need to check my old 5 with the newest 9.3 beta, see if that issue still happens.

I am also getting the instant crash on my iPad but not my iPhone. Both are on 9.2.1. It crashes when it tries to refresh the main forums listing. If I start the app and disable wifi it doesn't crash. From there if I browse to a forum or my boomkmarks, enable wifi and refresh the thread listing it's fine and I can read threads. It's just the main forums listing that instantly crashes.

I hope that extra early info helps track it down. Let me know if you want to know anything else.

Edit: now it's crashing doing the same thing on both my iPad Air and iPhone 5. I've tried deleting the app and reinstalling. When the app tries to retrieve the forum list after the first login it crashes. Maybe zen death robot changed something in the forums listing that's causing a crash?

There's been a sporadically reported forums bug where the dropdown that lets you jump to any forum only shows the top level categories (Main, Discussion, etc.) I suspect that this is the cause of the crash some people have seen. Awful uses that dropdown to populate it's forums list.

I've been getting a crash before and after the update where it looks like half a post is blacked out. I'm not sure how to best describe it, but there will be posts where it looks like a black box is over the text midway through. Whenever this happens, the app will crash a few seconds later and when it reopens I will open to an older thread I had been reading.

I'll try to take a screenshot next time if that would help. This is on an iphone6s.

Is the dropdown list something that usually fixes itself on a reload, or does it last for a little while?

If the former, maybe just a "couldn't get the forums list, pull to refresh" or something.
