Found a weird bug with the emoticon keyboard where some of the emoticons are duplicated. I resolved it by reinstalling the app, but I thought you might like to know :shobon:



Edit: Well gently caress, it just went back to being duplicative

I went thru the emotes a while ago and faved a bunch and none of them showed up in the faves menu

Sorry about these. The smilie keyboard definitely needs some love. It's on the list™ but as anyone here can attest, that doesn't give much of a timeline.


Whoops! I'll take a look. I've had that happen to me once or twice, but I couldn't figure out exactly wtf was up until it magically cleared up.

Does twitkit or whatever give you the size of the tweet views as they render? It might be worth looking into to see if you can kick the scrollview contentoffset y up as the tweets load... since tweet embedding showed up, the "tap on quote to go to post" feature has been unusable because prior posts load tweets and the post I navigated to gets scrolled off the page

Tweet embedding makes it worse, but honestly this was pretty unreliable even before it was added.

It'll probably never be good. No image tags on the Forums include a width or height, and tweets do like five stages of loading that each come with size fuckery.

You could do it like how you show new replies: Hide the previous posts until you explicitly click to show them. That way the post you want to see is on top and all the poo poo above or below it won't change the position.

We kind of try to do that, but it's not obvious to me how to decide when to stop, so we back off real quick. And it's pretty common for there to be like one slow loving image that finishes a minute after everything else and bumps everything down when it seemed like we were done.

That's a good idea, it would work for links that take you to another page.

Browsers do one adjustment when everything above the scroll-to point is loaded (really when it's sized), as long as the user hasn't scrolled in the interim. We might have a harder time tracking the requisite information.

Hello thread,

Is there a way to find all my own posts within a thread without having to find where one of my posts are? I asked a question in a thread like a year ago and can't remember what the answer was and would like to find it quickly.

I'd like the "their posts" functionality but from anywhere in a thread

It doesn't exist on the real forums so...

Sometimes you just need a full browser to do the copy/paste.

I went to a post of mine intending to quote it but I hit Edit instead. When I backed out and then went to Quote, the quote got tacked on to the original post as an edit, it didn't make a new post.

Yeah, the Twitter JS takes over the whole WebView. It's designed to be in a web page where the browser would give you a back button, but that's not how we roll. Might be a way to tweak the generated iframe to prevent it, I'll poke tonight when the kid is asleep.

I'll add it to the list, we might be able to hack it in.

You cannot. I'm very tempted to give the rear end in a top hat answer of "learn not to click it". I can add it to he list though!

This is on the list and keeps coming up, so it keeps moving up the list too. Sorry about that. You have to back all the way out of the thread (try loading a different thread) to reset the edit. I know it's not great.

YouTube embeds try to pull the same poo poo, we block that at the UIWebViewDelegate level. You might start there.

My dream is to not make pull to load a new page activate the first time I hit the bottom of a page.
Sometimes I'm trying to back track to the end of a page and after everything loads I find I hit the bottom too hard and it loaded the next.

Alternatively, a way to emulate the tap the top that scrolls to the top of a page (this is an iOS thing I understand) but for the end of a page

I've never had problems with accidentally going to the next page, but getting to the bottom of a page would be great. "Last Post" still doesn't take you to the last post. I'd love for there to be a way to jump to the next post.

Are you looking for something different than the Scroll to End button? I'm not sure I follow.

Stare-Out

Scroll to end would be great, but I meant a function where you could skip a post one by one as there tend to be a few posts here and there that quote insanely long posts and scrolling through them is a bit of a pain. I don't know if a function like that is possible though.

Scroll to end is already there. look near the top of every screen. I only mention it because your wording seems like you're not aware it's there.

I do like your idea for the other thing though too, but where would the button for that go?

Oh man, I never noticed scroll to end. Good to know! As for the button for skipping single posts, I really can't say. Press down on a post and have a "Skip" option there? I don't have much of a clue how the programming side of the app works so I'm mostly guessing.

It's been discussed a few times before, and the main sticking point iirc is precisely that - how to make it discoverable but not clutter up the interface.

We could add triple-tap or triple-scroll and just swing the NUX hammer to help people find it.

This is probably the best option. The only thing is you don't always know if you want to flick past a post at the beginning of it.

You know how in the Music app in artist view each album sort of stickies to the top of the screen as you scroll down? Is that a loving nightmare to code? Cause I could imagine that working in this scenario. The username of the current post is up top with the ... Icon and a down arrow for skipping to next post on the right side.

This would at the least be something that's interesting to test. I have no need for this button at all, I only care about being able to scroll to the end or the first unread post. Being able to always attach the user to the post in view could be a nice to have though?

perhaps really long posts should be collapsed and to read them you have to click an expandy link? maybe just test it out with posts that are close to galtse length and see how helpful it is or not
