I'm noticing that the app on iOS11 is adding in extra quotes around the name and post number when quoting a post and causing the quote wrapper to look weird

nm turns out it was just smart punctuation keyboard settings in iOS :shrug:

The latest update should turn off smart punctuation in the app. Not sure if it's out yet since I use the debug ver.

just a minor issue - my av doesn't show up in the awful app at all. Tried clearing the cache but it doesn't make a difference. I've maybe seen one or two other people with the same issue but don't remember their usernames.

Yours seems larger than usual--do you remember if the others you have seen were also bigger avs?

Maybe not for you and I, but if there's a way to parse profile pictures in the same way for each page, I'm sure the fine folks at Awful.app, Inc. can figure it out.

But it's probably that the image doesn't begin with "https://fi.somethingawful.com/safs/titles/" or "https://fi.somethingawful.com/images/title-" so the app assumes it's a gang tag and ignores it.

Maybe not for you and I, but if there’s a way to parse profile pictures in the same way for each page, I’m sure the fine folks at Awful.app, Inc. can figure it out.

But it’s probably that the image doesn’t begin with “https://fi.somethingawful.com/safs/titles/%93 or “https://fi.somethingawful.com/images/title-%93 so the app assumes it’s a gang tag and ignores it.
[/quote]

Even if it's not the url specifically that's doing it, there's most likely some minuscule difference that's throwing off the parser.

It's been a long time since I looked at that code, but trying to pick out avatars vs custom titles vs gang tags from the forums html is tricky because there's not actually any difference between these things as far as the forums are concerned. It's all just one block of html that can theoretically contain anything.

It shows up on the profile page because we don't actually have to parse it out in there. We just re-use the same html the forums give us, no matter what combination of images and text it contains.

I keep trying things and they keep failing. Definitely still getting curly quotes sometimes on the latest beta.

I can't think of what it might be. You mentioned before that you can log in via the same network connection on a desktop. What about if you use Safari on the device that has Awful installed?

Something like this. Probably won't be hard to fix, just gotta get in there.

What kind of trouble? (Yes, but tell me more in case there's several kinds of trouble!)

Blinkz0rz posted:

I did something silly that could cause this to happen on a 3.27 beta, fixed as of beta 3. Any chance you're on an old beta? Store build should be ok too.

To actually answer your question, it should remember that you viewed them. There's no setting, you're not missing anything.

I might end up adding a setting though, because there isn't really any good way to tell the difference between announcements. For example, if there's two announcements yesterday and the first one gets removed today, I think Awful will mark the second one as unread because "the announcement now at position 1 has different contents from the announcement that used to be at position 1". I tried to do something reasonable but maybe reasonable is more than we can hope for.

Since updating to iOS11 I've noticed the nav bar on my iPad Pro 12.9 renders the icons and text side by side instead of stacked like before.

Check it out:


e: it seems to render correctly if I disable autohide in landscape mode - still incorrect on portrait mode with the same setting though.

I'm real mad at Apple about it.

Now that iOS 11 is out, I'll mention that the issue with the Forums, Bookmarks, etc buttons on iPads in portrait is a known issue. It's a bug in UIKit somewhere but Apple never responded to my report, so we'll have to replace the tab view entirely with something else to fix it unless they manage to figure it out soon.

How about as a hack we remove the text from those icons instead of doing a huge recode? It might even make for a better look.

Current users will be familiar with the meaning of all the icons. New users know what bookmarks, mail and settings mean from other apps. Forums is fairly obvious, lepers isn't, but hit it once and you'd get it.

The problem is it's all wrapped up in the completely untouchable UITabBar class inside a UITabViewController. Ordinarily I'd just get in there and crowbar in a UITraitCollection.compact which would fix it so it displays properly, but everything is private and get-only and bleh, so that won't work. I believe stripping the labels altogether is similarly impossible without ripping the thing out entirely, which is basically where we are at now.

It's an interesting idea, but not really any faster than what we have to do anyway.

The real problem isn't necessarily the tab bar, but the tabBarController. Maybe I'll try doing away with that and seeing what I can do.
