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.

I'm 99% confident I fixed/tested all the ways this dialog could appear, but it went in even after the latest beta so no one but me has it right now.

Latest beta should have it. Version 3.21 (32101).

Probably why I'm not seeing any problems :D

If you click on the little V in the bottom-right of an embedded Vimeo video, you can open the Vimeo page inside of the Awful app.

Another site to set up hijack prevention for. I'll look into it.

e: actually, is there _ever_ a situation where we want a link that isn't on somethingawful.com to be able to take over the webview? Maybe there's a way we can just whitelist links to other parts of the forums...

Well, pokeyman could take Apple S&P's word for it that it's too close to the ruined Pepe character, or he could try to explain that it's an odd inside joke five times removed from a softcore video from almost a decade ago, and you can imagine how chill they'd be about that (it'd be hypocritical as all hell given what they do let through, but it's not like there's an alternative app store on unbroken iOS).

My guess is that it's usually people reading mega threads with a twitter or movie embed every other post that have the problems.

This will be fixed in the next update, idk when pokeyman is planning to push it out though.

As far as the crashes are concerned, unfortunately I haven't been able to chase them down to a single issue, which might mean they're larger and more abstract issues with runaway memory usage that will take some creativity to fix.

I feel like there was a reason? Maybe all loads go through the webview's delegate, including images and, well, the embed iframe in the first place? I forget. The trick is that even though it's a tap on a link, it comes to the delegate identified as something other than tapping a link.

I, uh, got nothing. We do load the bottom banner ads, but afaik those are just SA-hosted images and aren't the kind of ads that take over like that. I agree it shouldn't be allowed. Is it still happening?

To be fair, this might lead to a debate with App Review over whether anal penetration is "softcore", which sounds delightful.

Great question! Been wondering that myself. I'm pretty sure I followed directions for how to set the height of a custom keyboard, but it was always kinda hosed up, so I'm not super surprised that it's busted. I'll add it to my list.

Pretty sure it was a lovely memory leak I found in the HTML parsing library (which mostly I wrote, whoops!). It's fixed in the update I just released.

As an aside, either I'm missing the "your app has been approved" messages or something's hosed up, because that's the second consecutive release that I've found sitting in iTunes Connect as "Pending Developer Release" and I only noticed when I thought to manually check. So this version probably could've been out a week ago. Sorry!

Every man likes a pretty girl with him at a skeleton dance.
Is there a way to set the max cache size for the app? About a week ago I noticed I was out of space on my 16gb iPad Air and went to the storage utilized bit of iOS and saw Awful,was using 1.77gb of space. Nuked it and reinstalled as I didn't think to log out.

Now I'm seeing Awful creep from initially 85mb to almost 200mb over the course of about a week. Anything that I can do? Is this an isolated incident?

Alright, so yesterday I started having issues with trying to post from my phone- whenever I tried, it would tell me "preview post not found". Today I woke up to find that it had logged me out for no apparent reason- this is fine, except that now I can't log in again. It repeatedly gives me the error that my username or password is wrong- but I know they're not wrong, because I double checked by logging in both on my desktop and on my phone using Safari. Is this a known issue/is there a fix?

It's an iPhone 6S running iOS 8.4(not updated because of jailbreak). I've never had this issue before and I've been running this setup unchanged for like a year and a half now. I have Awful app v. 3.21, which I ~think~ is the latest version- at least there's nothing more recent in the app store. I haven't even installed any new apps or updated a jailbreak or anything like that recently.

Step one is to stop pirating apps and update your phone. If it still doesn't work after that, then you might have something.
