No, unfortunately. It would require a major rework of the app UI, I think. Pokeyman can school me if I'm wrong.

e: if it happens very frequently you could toggle Hide Sidebar In Landscape in settings

You're looking for a dedicated button on that toolbar? Or an option in that little settings popover?

Either way I won't promise a timely resolution but I can add it to the list!

Odd question: does anybody use the automatic theme switching based on brightness? I'm wondering if it's discoverable enough or if less people actually requested it than I thought, but either way, I'm surprised I haven't heard any complaints/bug reports.

I use it daily, works flawlessly for me.

No easy way, no. I wouldn't mind bailing on the built-in split view though and if/when that happens it shouldn't be too painful to do this. I'll add it to the list.

An option in the settings popover - a dedicated button is probably obnoxious

The episode was good despite it being Voyager. That's why it was so noteworthy. :(

I kid, the only Voyager episode I know by the title (apart from the pilot) is Threshold, which is noteworthy for the opposite reason.

It might be nice to have them in some sort of collapsible element so you don't force the user to always have to scroll past them. Dare I even say dismiss-able.

Oh definitely, they're not going on the top of every thread list. I'm thinking I might make them their own "forum" on the main list or something equally out of the way. That or accessible from a button on the UINavigationBar but even that seems too invasive given how infrequently they get posted.

Bug report

Trying to go pull for next page on a poor connection (causing the alert “specified hostname could not be found”) will remain on the current page as expected but still increment the page counter at the bottom. This can be done multiple times. Not sure how it behaves after this when connection is restored, I force killed the app expecting that it’d get into a wacky core data state.

iPad mini 4, iOS 11 dev beta 1, connection tethered thru an iPhone 7/iOS 9.latest

Every time I see a post from ArfJason (in the Xbox Shark Tank at least) it messes up my app. Can't see his joined date and get a massive blank white space where his post should be and I can keep scrolling and not see his or the following posts. Have to skip a page.

On iPhone 7 Plus.

That's because all he ever posts in there anymore is a 1px wide by 30,000px* tall transparent GIF and a mangled catchphrase.

I hate to bitch but is there a reason the thread screen refreshes itself like 5 times on slow connections? Is this a side effect of lots of embedded tweets? This happens a lot in cspam (:rip:)

Refreshes itself or just scrolls to the same post over and over as things move around? It's a bit overzealous with the scroll because loading each embedded tweet fires off a bunch of "finished loading" notifications even though it is not, in fact, finished loading, so I had to have it jump a bunch of times to actually work as intended. I can try to think of a way to corral it better but I'm no DOM master so I'm open to suggestions.

It might be that, but I frequently see if the first post contains an embedded tweet itll refresh link -> embed -> link -> embed several times if I'm on a spotty connection

New bug report! (Had to read a bunch of threads to catch up.)

iPad 10.5" Pro, 10.3.4, Awful thread with Picture in Picture (running Plex if it matters.)

Touch is 'janky'.

Scrolling a thread up and down jitters a lot.

Trying to select a thread from the list view is hit or miss, sometimes doesn't register touches sometmies the wrong thread is selected.

Location of where the PIP is matters for how this is effected. I think something in the new size + PIP is causing weird misscalculations. I've noticed something similar in a Unity game where if PIP was on the right, then a touch on the right registered several inches lower than where it really touched (Maybe trying to subtract the PIP window size.)

My 'workaround' is to basically constantly move the PIP window based on where I'm reading / scrolling / tapping but it's pretty egregious.

Anyone else seeing this?
