I didnt realize the latest versions of Awful were iOS 9.0 only; will this upcoming update also be for the older iOS 8.x versions, or will I have to update to 9.0 to fix Awful?

Looks like zdr turned off the feature that was causing awful to crash. The fix I wrote should work with it both on and off, so I still think we should get something pushed out as soon as possible so zen death robot can turn the feature he wants on.

Is there any way to display embedded tweets in this app? I've heard people insist it's possible but I can't find a setting anywhere; I've deleted and redownloaded v. 3.11 from the Australian and Canadian stores but I still can't find a setting to turn this feature on

It's something that may be coming/is coming in a future update but isn't currently live

Same with .gifv integration I think.

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.

This is almost certainly the correct answer. Maybe https hosed something up. I'll take a gander if no one beats me to it.

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)

I'll make a note and see about fixing it, but you won't see the results as Awful's iOS 9-only! Clearly seems to be an issue affecting the latest version though.

carry on then posted:

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.

I'll get the latest master into beta tonight and submit, so whenever App Review's done giving me the goatse is I guess when it'll be out!

Has there been any talk about adding keyboard shortcuts and navigation? I bought a keyboard to make my tiny laptop dreams come true and button scrolling is the one thing I miss from browsers.

Otherwise it's been awesome. Keep up the amazing work this is a perfect app and the effort shows.

Nice @ awfulhttps protocol being registered to Awful app, already used it this morning :c00lbert:

Tweet embedding (tweembedding) is neat but I have some complaints about it already!!! :c00lbutt:
  • You can't select the text in the tweet -- it'll highlight a word if you tap-and-hold but that will also bring up the "Copy URL / Cancel" buttons, and dismissing the buttons clears the highlight. And you can't drag a highlight anchor into the tweet if you started the selection outside the embedded tweet (mb due to safari iframe javascript ajax dom swift cloud rpc tunneling ppp telnet baud unittests html5 saas xss nodejs on rails, or more probably all of the preceding???). Dragging past the tweet can work but it won't copy the tweet itself, just the surrounding text.
  • If you tap on the embedded tweet, it replaces the entire page of the thread instead of opening in the browser sheet, which does let you see replies or whatevz but less useful if you want to keep reading the thread after the tweet. As far as I can tell, you can't get back to the current page of posts without reloading the page.
  • The tweet is bright white even on the dark Awful theme and I am worried it'll look even more out of place in the amber forum. Aesthetics Is My Watchword™

Okay thanks for listening!

Oh another #DarkModeProblems: some animated emoticons don't properly erase certain frames of the animation in dark mode, e.g.

:roflolmao:

:yikes:

:angel: (the extended wings never fully retract)

:zaeed:

This is not an exhaustive list, but I think all of the problematic examples I've seen share a white background that Awful app converts to dark background in dark mode, and possibly the "stuck" pixels are from a portion of the gif that remains identical over the course of multiple consecutive frames before changing.

Not sure how the dark mode emoticons were/are made so maybe it's just a problem with the initial conversion process, if those gifs are included in the app. But I'm guessing it's some kind of automated process since the zaeed one has black text stays black and illegible in night mode, even when the background is transparentized.

That seemed to break images for me, including emoticons and thread tags. Attempting to open a subforum crashes the app. iOS 9.3.1 with the latest version of the app, tried reinstalling but that only got rid of the tags I did have in my Bookmarks.

Edit: Everything works again!

The fact that Awful's embedded tweets don't throw the page all over the place makes me want to use it exclusively to browse the forums. Nothing like loading a thread and 80 tweets loading up after everything else making the page look like you're going bananas on the scroll wheel.

Wellllllll poo poo. I only checked out a few threads with tweets and it seemed okay to me. Still, Awful is quicker than the browser version so that might even it out.
