I get crashes a lot, too. It seems to happen most often when refreshing my bookmarks, second-most often when clicking a bookmark to see new posts, and least often after posting, though the post always goes through.

No idea if that's helpful info but it's all I can really remember right now.

I had something weird happen on my iPhone 7 today. I went to launch the camera and nothing. Just a black screen. Switched over to video and nothing there either. Rebooted and everything was cool.

On my 7+, I'm still getting a lot of crashes, especially when viewing an image heavy thread. I'm also getting an either black or grey square covering posts right before hand. I'll try and screenshot it when it happens next.

In Chrome you can go settings -> more tools -> encoding -> unicode if you want to view the unicode flavors correctly as well (although that's obviously a pain in the rear end).

Good work on the app OP. Been using it for years. Since the last update my Bookmarks page is hosed up. They aren't all loading and when I tap on one it loads the one above.

It's an iPhone 6s with 10.1.1.

Usually a force close or a restart of the iPhone sorts issues with this but not this time. I.....I need my bookmarks...

iPhone 6 and app updates uh, updated

Ive suddenly lost the ability to bookmark threads. I can bring up the men while in a thread but "bookmark" button doesn't actually do anything. The problem started a few days ago

A very minor issue I've had is that the back button with first go back a page in the thread, and the second time I hit it it will back out to the thread menu

For what it's worth, I have a 6s and my bookmarks didn't disappear. I'm also on the 10.2 beta, but I don't think that makes a big difference.

I was able to get screenshots of both weird blocks on the app. Also, forgot to mention, iPhone 7+ with the latest app store version of the app.

This is the more common one. It'll usually go away if I play with the screen for a while:


This is less common, but when this happens, I have to force quit the app and restart for them to go away:


Don't get me wrong, I love the app and I use it more than anything else on my phone, it's just kind of annoying. It's been happening since I upgraded to iOS 10 on my 6, then persisted on the 7+.

After two days it appears to have fixed itself overnight, only thing I changed was moving to the dark theme which I'm guessing shouldn't have any influence.

Hmm. It took me ages to figure out how to pack up strings so everything worked properly. I don't think the app changed anything, but there are many tiny adjustments that could happen Forums-side that could change things. I'll have a look.

I think this got fixed, or at least a similar issue for (un)bookmarking a thread. I'll double-check the fix is applied to mark-unread too.

For now can you try logging out and back in? That clears the cache, and there's something messed up with bookmarks (and thread lists) sometimes that's hard to reproduce and even harder to make go away.

fake edit: And I see the problem went away. That's the another annoying part about this issue: it can resolve itself.

I was seeing an issue (which has since been fixed) where I'd get an error message when tapping bookmark, but it did actually work, if you ignored the error message. Your issue sounds like something else though? No error messages to speak of?

Is there any chance you tapped a link on the previous page that pushed a new view instead of reusing the existing one?

At first glance this looks like we're running out of memory, but I can't say for sure. I can say with some confidence that it's unintentional. I'll think about if there's a way we can fix it (aside from generally using less memory).

Weird that it's only happening in iOS 10 though. I don't remember changing anything relevant to showing posts.

Someone else mentioned the can't-scroll-in-replly issue yeah. Not sure what's going on with the date though. Date parsing is definitely lovely in the app, which blindly assumes that your SA time zone matches your device's time zone. This also happens to be why some posts don't show a post date around the Daylight Saving Time change hour.
