The closest you can get is loading up several pages of a thread in advance before you board the plane. The caching works for most things except embedded tweets and maybe animated gifs.

I logged out today to try to fix this phantom sticky thread that still thought it was sticky even though it wasn't, and now no thread tags show up when I try to filter by thread tag.

Does the app fetch smilies from the forums or are they included in the app?

They're included in the keyboard but downloaded from the site when embedded in posts. So there are definitely emotes that you can't type because they got the app rejected.

Thread tags I'm not sure what's going on--those are actually downloaded from GitHub and saved by the app so I don't know why they aren't showing up. I'll have to play with things, but I'm also in the middle of chasing down some bugs that'll show up on iOS 11.

It'll clear on its own after a few minutes. I think maybe the app only refreshes that notification intermittently?

Why doesn't the iOS version have the option to completely hide someone's posts that you've ignored, and also a way to ignore them without going onto the actual website(unless I'm missing something)

Having an issue where twitter links open in safari instead of the twitter app. I have Chrome selected as my browser for links. I have it set to open twitter in the twitter app, but deselecting it opens the links in Chrome instead of Safari. This is on an iPad with 10.3.3. I've only noticed Twitter posts opening in Safari instead of Twitter/Chrome.

Just a heads up, sometime in the next arbitrary time period I'm gonna make a huge pile of GitHub issues for things and ditch my disgusting TODO file. If you do not want or are not currently filtering GitHub notifications and you are watching the repo, this is your opportunity to avoid some emails.

2) I did skim the thread, but I didn't see a relevant issue (or if I did I didn't recognize it). For the last couple months, can't pin down exactly when it started but it continues today after updating to the latest version, clicking youtube links open in safari. Even if I long press and use the "Open in YouTube" popup button. Not a huuuugggee issue but sometimes It leads to me having a ton of tabs open.

Will take a look-see!

I'm not sure if this is app or SA related, but I'm seeing HTML in the lepers colony. That's been going on since the last Awful patch.

That's so you can use the HTML parser in your head to render rich text.

I'll swap it out.

Is adding the ignore feature to the app something you guys are willing/able to do? I would appreciate that feature.

It is most definitely on the list. It is in fact number two on my list of new features to add, though how that list is sorted I have no idea. I'll +1 it for ya.

Nope, it's only ever been plain text. I'll +1 my "make lepers colony fancy" list item though.

Red_Fred posted:

I've done double posts a couple times now where I lose connection while posting, get an error, assume it hasn't posted and post again but then find I've double posted. The error said something about an image. Is this a known issue?

I've heard of getting an image upload failed error when the post attempt times out, even when there's no image involved. Sounds related. Depending on the error though there's a decent chance the app won't know whether the post succeeded, so I don't know if we can cure the double posts. The error message could certainly be better.

Hey pokeyman/contributors, I'm thinking about opening some of these new feature requests as Issues instead of/in addition to putting it on the big list. Any objections?

Nope. I'll make issues for all the poo poo in my TODO list too.

There's probably some old issues in there from before I turned them off on the repo. Feel free to look through them if you like, or just leave 'em for me to trawl.

How do I put a user on ignore while using the app?

Scrolling down quickly is your best option at the moment. I'll +1 the feature request on the list :)

Think something might be wrong with fetching the forum list. Restored on a new device from backup today and this is the forum list now:



My guess is the app failed to fetch the list of forums, and is showing you just the forums from threads you've read maybe via bookmarks. That or the logic to automatically refresh the list of forums failed to, well, automatically refresh. I'll add it to the list. You should be able to pull to refresh the forum list.

Sadly we don't have much control over embedded videos, they behave how the web view decides they should behave. One thing we do have on the list is to move the web view to a newer one, but I couldn't say whether that would make older device compatibility better or worse, sorry.

I'm actually using announcements as an excuse to try out WKWebView. If it goes alright that'll end up spreading around. Might mean iOS 10 and lower loses whatever NSURLProtocol-based stuff we do (Minus and Waffleimages fixes mostly) but it's long past time.

Sounds like scraping that list of threads is not going so well, as that's what populates the filter list and also marks threads as sticky or not. I'll keep an eye out.

Shinku ABOOKEN posted:

Both. Most are bundled in the app (and that gets updated when I remember to update it), and it'll also periodically pull down the showsmilies page and save anything new it finds.

In theory anyway. Entirely possible something broke. And this is only for the smilie keyboard, the iMessage stickers are bundled only and don't update automatically.

Crime on a Dime posted:

It sure does. Not sure why I implemented it this way, ages ago, but it is definitely on the list to do properly.

When you say "twitter links" do you mean a link to a tweet? Or links within embedded tweets? Or something else?
