I mentioned it recently but I'll clarify. Awful Browser used to be something pokeyman wrote the code for, but now it uses Safari View Controller which is basically you asking the OS to inject a Safari instance into your view. So absolutely everything you see once you tap the link and see the transition is Apple-created code.
Even all the buttons?

Everything. All we have is a delegate that handles getting rid of it when you tap the done button, but even that's defined by Apple, we just fill in the blanks.

We can change the Awful Browser top bar background colour now in iOS 10!

Probably won't fix the "back to" status bar button though.

Yep it's a poorly reported error. Try hitting the forums in Safari and see if you have a cloudflare page or something in your way.

I was about to update that it's disappeared. First I noticed that a bunch of bookmarked threads now say they require archives access then I realised that they were all GBS threads then I realised GBS is gone from the forums list.

There's no way to specify the error more clearly is there? Does the app just assume if it can't access something it must be an archives issue?

It's not a big deal, I can't imagine this type of issue would come up much but I was a bit concerned there was something wrong with the app. I had to uninstall and reinstall to actually see that GBS was gone, before that it showed in the forums list but gave the same archives error.

:siren: Whoever's got the current Awful app icon source files :siren: I need a favour: more sizes!

First up, the main app needs:

• 20×20pt, @1x and @2x and @3x (i.e. one at 20×20px, another at 40×40px, another at 60×60px) (this is pretty low priority, it's for notifications which we don't actually use (yet) but the gap in the icon set is staring at me)

And the incoming sticker pack needs:

• 60×45pt, @2x and @3x
• 67×50pt, @2x
• 74×55pt, @2x
• 27×20pt, @2x and @3x
• 32×24pt, @2x and @3x
• 1024×768pt, @1x

iOS handles rounding all the rects, we just need to fill the space we're given and let iOS do its thing.

I'm probably completely over-specifying this, no offence intended!

The sticker pack icon is a 4:3 ratio. My thinking is the app icon can be repurposed without too much effort (?), maybe mucking with the gradient background and keeping the rating bars centred. I'm also 100% on board with something completely different for the sticker pack! I just thought this would be the quickest to execute on. Happy to change it later too if a brilliant idea arrives.

I take it you're taking over the sticker pack? How did you get around the extractor refusing to compile?

Banged on it this evening, results are on master branch. I had to add a couple pods to Smilie Extractor to get it running, I think it was relying on some pre-1.0 cocoapods behaviour that happened to just work until it didn't. Then looked at how a sticker pack is laid out, taught the Extractor how to make that, then fiddled with imagemagick until I got a resize and lil padding figured out. The simulator was completely nonfunctional when trying to load the sticker pack, but it works ok on device.

There is a way, it just needs doing. Awful does know about the "database unavailable" error page but otherwise just assumes it's archives unavailable, you got it.

Hey pokey, I made the app icon and can probably do this over the weekend. I brought it up a while back but would it be worth refining the main app icon a bit while I'm at it or is that opening a can of worms (it obviously is.) I was thinking dialing back the gradient and making the gold bar shape a bit less blocky.

I have an issue with how the app embeds tweets. The USPol thread contains many posts that are ill-advised tweets that later get taken down. See, for example, page 568 of this month's thread: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3788694&perpage=40&pagenumber=568.

Deleted tweets don't embed properly (duh), but they also break the embedding of undeleted tweets on the same page. The text of the tweets loads, but the final product isn't converted into a tweet-looking box, nor are any images/videos properly loaded.

Edit: now with img!

Stickers working okay so far but some of the smaller smileys are pretty difficult to grab onto, because you don't know you've grabbed onto them since they are under your meaty goonthumb. I assume this is an iOS limitation and not something you can fiddle with?

Man I went to go look at the todo list to see if the issue I was having was already reported and that's a pretty big list

Anyways, right now the issue I'm having is that after loading a few extra pages in a forum, sometimes Awful will attempt to load that many pages again on subsequent visits to the forum. Oftentimes the app will freeze while it tries loading everything, but still buffer any touch events you might be giving it so it loads everything simultaneously. Doing a pull to refresh will sometimes collapse it back down to one page temporarily, and logging out and back in resets the page counter. iphone se 3.17 but it happened to my old 5s as well
