The text about logging out clearing the cache seems a bit redundant now that there is a button to do it.

While this is true, the fact that it also is basically useless now is awesome. Cleared 4.7 GB the first time, and now even after a day of catching up on the webcomics thread it only cleared out 50MB. Awesome update. :3:

What's up with these enormous black boxes over text?

BrianBoitano
Nov 15, 2006

this is fine



I read the OP and didn't see this there. I was probated for a day and the error I got when trying to post on the app seemed more like a connection error than anything. I had to check if my cell data for the awful app was on, then I considered restarting my phone. I actually didn't figure out that I was probated until I noticed on my computer.

You probably don't need to design new things to serve probated jerks, so do with this feedback what you will.

Designing for probed users is hard because one of us would have to eat a probe every time we needed to check on something. Could put it on the list in case it does happen though. :)

On page 1713 of the above thread, myself and several other posters noticed it was causing the awful app to crash. Any idea why?

I think it's the gigantic images that Serious Gaylord posted. It didn't crash for me, but even on the desktop, scrolling gets really stuttery for me around that post.

It's crashing because someone inlined multiple 70(!!!)-megapixel images and you're running out of memory. What device? My iPhone 7 plus doesn't crash but it sure does chug.

This is a fairly minor thing that's been going on for a while- when I'm scrolling down through the list of threads in a forum and i get to the point where it has to load more the list will jump up when the additional threads are loaded. Then I have to scroll up a little to see what I missed before scrolling down the list again.

Hope that made sense.

I'm on an updated 6 plus with the latest test flight version.

I've just started seeing this today, except they're light grey because I'm not using the dark theme. Makes the app pretty much unusable unfortunately.

It's probably not the same but a while ago we had similar issues with black boxes on Awful.apk and I think it turned out that's what the Android webview does when it runs low on memory.

In fact I thought Vintersorg was posting in the wrong app thread :v:

i'm on an iphone 7 and haven't seen any of the recent bugs reported either. i believe i'm on the latest beta, but the settings page says 3.22 and it doesn't show up in testflight for me any more, but the icon does have the red circle next to it which i think is from beta builds.

I get the black boxes occasionally but I haven't noticed any consistency to when they pop up other than I've been using the app fairly long before it happens I think.

R.e. The sub forum crash: I noticed that I have a bunch of other forums at the bottom of the list that I can't go into, like the mod forum and Apps In Development States, dunno if that's a red herring

Can't you just make a sock account and politely ask Lowtax or ZDR or FAU or somebody to just hit it with a 100,000 hour probation for testing purposes? Only thing it would require admins to do is probate a single account to be shared that can't post anyway
