I've started getting '403(Forbidden) Code -1011' in the app about a day ago. Granted, I'm currently in Singapore and whenever the forum images aren't loading on my computer I'd head to fi.somethingawful.com and prove that I'm a human.

Is there a way I could do this while inside the app? I tried going to the verification page through mobile safari but it doesn't seem to have any effect on the app. In the meantime, I'm just browsing SA in mobile safari which is not as good an experience as the Awful app.


That's a good idea, I'll put it on the list!


Thanks for putting it on the list. Much appreciated.

Still want Awful for Mac.

It should be possible to tease apart any UIKit dependencies in non-UI code pretty easily, when I looked a couple years ago the only one I found was triggering the network spinner. The use of CocoaPods seems to make it harder to just start trying to build everything for Mac though.

(I'm not really allowed to do the work myself and contribute it back, all I can do is provide guidance.)

I'd be kind of interested in porting it at some point, but I've found AppKit kind of a slog to learn.

No as long as you don't try to commit it back to the repo

I basically have permanently unstated changes I just stash and reapply every time there are changes to pull

Not easily. If you have a Mac you can download the code, change the bundle identifier, then compile it yourself. Alternately you can back up your iOS device then restore it if needed.

If your current setup suits your needs then I doubt you'll find anything mind blowing in the latest version.

Hey also are Vimeo video tags supposed to do anything but appear as a big blank space in a post?

e.g. this recent post from the Making Games Megathread:

Hammer Bro. posted:

Here's the culmination of my selective interpretation from all that platformer feedback:

https://vimeo.com/160794701

Selective acceleration prevents wall climbing while maintaining an adequately natural feel. Unless you want to get really technical with selective sprinting, which I demonstrate is possible but also difficult.

Took me an entire day to figure out why Slide Kicking wouldn't transition into Falling when I did it off the vertical block; it just continued at a fast and funny diagonal.

Fixed that bug then immediately re-implemented the behavior but deliberately :smuggo:

Oops, I thought this was the technical thread and not the iOS thread. Here's a couple screenshots, but it's still probably due to the vimeo embed using flash.

Yeah this is what I see as well. I'd fully believe that Vimeo is flash-default for embedded and that's the source of the empty space I've been seeing, though I know they have at least some kind of HTML5 that I've seen on the desktop.

How and/or why do you see that "//vimeo/someid" link, carry on then?
(Note: I've got App Store version of Awful which looks like v3.11, and iOS 9.3 on an iPhone 6+)

Vimeo's original, deprecated embed code uses Flash, but there's a newer one that embeds in its own iframe. It hasn't made it into the forums yet, but that's okay because zen death robot is busy doing more important things.

The app has code that's supposed to convert the Flash-based embeds to the non-Flash embeds, but I guess that must have broken at some point.

Awful just started crashing on the bookmarks screen for me. Deleting and reinstalling made it stop crashing on launch, but as soon as I logged in and went to my bookmarks screen, instant crashes again

I'm on whatever the latest version compatible with iOS 8.x is (I refuse to go to iOS 9 til they bring back two-finger-tap-to-select-paragraph)

This is happening to me too. After logging in/out, the thread tags don't load on the bookmarks page, and trying to enter any thread causes a crash. Reinstalling the app doesn't help and I've rebooting my iPhone. 6 on 9.3.

Edit: trying to enter a subforum from the main forum list also causes a crash.

The settings page crashes even in airplane mode. On the other hand trying to open a thread in airplane mode however works fine with a 1099 "internet connection appears to be offline" error but no crash. Turning airplane off and trying to refresh or change page however is a crash.

I wonder what forums change caused this one.

Okay, it's happening because avatar images are now being referenced by a data-cfsrc attribute (research indicates this has to do with cloudflare) if you have javascript enabled (Awful's scraper does) so it's not finding any element in the avatar with a src attribute and dying. I'm adding a check that looks for the data-cfsrc attribute but should be fine if the avatars go back to only having src attributes. If this doesn't change on us again, how soon can we have an update out, pokey man?

btw this breaks the settings because that view has YOUR avatar in it.
