What have I become, my Swedish friend?

Did something happen with the block list because I am seeing MIGF posts and it is harshing my buzz.

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.

That's interesting. It's all a web view so we could use any of the billion "stick a thing atop your webpage" styles and/or javascripts to do it. I've never seen an implementation that wasn't a bit janky though.

There's a setting for that in your User Control Panel, is it not working from Awful?

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.

Jesus Christ I never saw it either. Likely cause those controls go away when you scroll down

Hey is it possible and if it is do you think it'd be a cool idea to have a little throbber animation for when pages are loading?

Here's a little rough test I put together today that I think could work:

That isn't really an option for me (not the guy you responded to) or anyone else on an iPhone 6 or older model.

Edit: this happens even when I am not at the main forums list when I try to go back to Awful.

Yeah, the latest update seems to have some trouble with the cached forums list from the previous version, it seems. When I checked the forums list this morning, the only forums that were visible were ones that I had visited threads from via Bookmarks. I logged out to clear the cache, logged back in, got an instant crash, logged back in again and everything's fine now.

Same here, using both an iPhone 6 and iPad Pro. It doesn't matter what page I'm on, it'll quickly crash on start then be fine until I next start it up.

Just chiming in on the latest release... I just updated to 3.13 and I'm getting endless crashing on an iPhone SE running iOS 9.3.2. Crashes while switching pages, crashes when opening from the app switcher and home screen, crashes when replying. I wasn't getting any crashing on the previous version.

Yeah that ain't right.

Yeah that ain't right either.

I used to get this a lot in forums view, and I could fix it by backing out to the forums list and refreshing. Now it's happening in bookmarks too and I could only fix it by rebooting the app.

This may be a good time to mention that I'm the developer on Windows Something Awful reader, and when I mean "My app", I'm referring to that. Like how I asked if I could use the thread icons (some of which have been replaced by Kazy to fit Windows better.)

iOS is the only one without multiple clients available. One day I might change that (if I ever get around to finishing what I start :getin:). But if I do, it's a proof of concept for porting with Xamarin, not something people should actually switch to.

But seriously, this is all I wanted to do with it



It's a gif right now but I could probably change it to use Win2D to make the backgrounds transparent and fade out instead of just disappearing. I tried showing it for threads and PMs but those load too quick, so you can't see the full animation and it's really jarring. But loading the app, making posts and new threads, or uploading images take long enough that it shows it run at least once.

Not sure why but starting yesterday every time I open the app all my bookmarks are erased.

Seconding this, using a 5 and 9.3.1. It also crashes whenever I lose service or turn on Airplane Mode and it keeps eating posts, seemingly like it actually replied but nothing shows up. I had to make this post twice, haha.
