The human animal is a beautiful and terrible creature, capable of limitless compassion and unfathomable cruelty.
Something I've noticed is that if I'm in a situation where the http to the forums is blocked (generally a Wi-Fi hotspot), I can browse the forums via the awful app butt images won't load. Is there a difference in how the app retrieves text vs images?

It's probably an HTTPS vs. HTTP thing.

In the latest version on a Droid 4 running 4.1.2 I crash any time a thread list is brought up, either by going to bookmarks or any subforum

Not seeing any crashes from you. Would it be possible for you to get me the stack trace via adb ?

I have no idea how to do this. It's not giving me a crash error, it's just force closing the app.

Has there been any fix for images from imgur showing up as broken-image placeholders, requiring a reload? Or is it an imgur problem?

The "easiest" way would be via adb logcat

Install instructions here:

Here's how to get the log into a file:

If it works after a reload I suspect a problem with either imgur or your connection. Does anyone else have this problem?

Looks like ZDR broke the forum select dropdown again, problem is we use it for parsing the forums. This shouldn't have an effect on the latest version anymore (and doesn't for me). Once the dropdown is back to normal just pull-to-refresh the forum index.

Same issue here. Anytime I try to display images I get a little ? box next to the link. No amount of reloading will make the image load. I can only see it by opening the URL in a browser. This affects all JPG/PNG/GIF images.

Images worked fine before this last update. On the flipside GIFV / WEBM / MP4 embeds work great now.

Edit: after testing, it is only Imgur pics that do not display correctly. photobucket / tumblr links show images just fine in this app, Imgur shits out and does the placeholder ? box.

Reloading the page works about half the time, but as the above poster says, usually I have to settle for loading images in the browser. Visually I occasionally see the image load and then switch to a broken image graphic.

I get a whole lot of images that don't load, in all sorts of different contexts (wifi, LTE, wifi at other people's houses, etc.). I don't know if such a thing is even feasible, but I find myself wanting a "Reload image" menu item on the menu that has Save, Open in browser, and so on.

Feature request: (or bug maybe) I would like to be able to download image attachments just like embedded images. Right now all you can do is tap on them to open in a browser and you can download them there, if you're logged in.

Just transfered all my stuff to a new phone. I was already logged into the app. On the main forum page I can't see any forums. What's weird is I can still slide to the right to see my bookmarks and read those threads. I deleted data and cache and uninstalled/reinstalled but that didn't fix it.

OK what's really weird is even after force stop, clearing data/cache,and reinstalling I am already logged in. Wtf is going on?

Has the app become more sensitive to vertical swipes vs rightward swipes? Twice on my way through the thread here it's refused to pull-to-refresh, and instead tried to swipe back to my bookmarks.

Swiping all the way over and back let me proceed.

I'm not sure why that should be working all of the sudden but maybe the play store is restoring some backup data.

Try just clearing the app data and nothing else.

I thought this was brought up and fixed before; but I'm noticing the issue where swiping down on a box marked [code] to scroll down the page will mark the swipe as a horizontal one instead of vertical. Galaxy Tab 7 4 (lol that name) running ~*disgusting*~ touchwiz 4.4.4

Maybe I should try and find a page with code on it and test it on my Moto X Pure running 6.0?

That didn't work but what did fix it was opening a thread in chrome, clicking the link for the main page, and opening that with Awful.

Something seems to be causing an issue in Awful. For the last couple of days if I leave Awful on a thread and come back to my phone later or change apps several times I come back to a blank page (the headers are there and work but there is no content). The only fix is to refresh the page (which causes me to lose my place).

Awful hasnt been updated in that time but Android System Webview was, not sure if this is related? I'm on a Nexus 5x on 6.0.1

I've had this issue on my Wi-Fi only tablet a bunch of times, and I've found that if I disable the Wi-Fi, the page finishes rendering once Awful realizes nothing else is coming down the pipe. Not much of a solution, I'll admit.

I think the Something thread it dead so I'll try here, can't even remember who wrote it now. I installed it on my Pixel C but it refuses to let me log in, just acts as if my details are wrong. I've tried with hardware and software keyboards and pasting the password into the box. Logging in on Chrome works fine so it's not a password issue. Has anyone had to log into Something recently and had it work? I don't really want to log out on my phone to test it in case it's broken.

I had the same problem with my new phone. I've just switched to using Awful. I used to prefer Something but Awful has come on enough since I last used it that I'm happy with it now.

I just tried Something on my old phone which was still logged in. I logged out, and was not able to log back in again.

Does the app not auto update? I'm on a Galaxy S4 and I've always used the menu button to post. I've only had this phone for about a year, too, so my version of the app can't be THAT old.

Edit: I'm on the latest version. I must be misunderstanding something. :confused:

These are the sorts of things that should be posted in the Something.apk thread and then I'll see it and work on fixing it and update some of the dependencies of the project to support ZDR's new security measures.
