actually, that won't be necessary.
Forgive me for butchering what I’m about to describe, but it may be a related issue:

Someone quoted someone from a different thread and I clicked the name to, hopefully, go to the in that other thread. It gave me the same error the leper’s colony is showing.

It seems to work fine if the quote is leading farther up in the same thread though.


All that said, I love and appreciate this app. Thanks!

I made a post a while back with some suggestions for color values with that and last read in mind that'd be good to test.

A seperate idea for the UI I thought could look good is a slight rounding of the corners of each post, it'd fit a bit more into the look of ios11 (in a good way!) and help to seperate posts at a glance as you scroll.

Oh yeah, I remember that, and there's even an open issue for it. My bad :)

can we get the iphone plus landscape view for the iphone x?

I'll make a note of it because it is a big screen, and I wanna do some related work in the same area of the app so it might even happen sooner rather than later, but for now the reason it doesn't work is

Zero One posted:

I'm not an iOS developer but I was reading about this on Ars yesterday.

Basically Apple doesn't consider the X big enough to support the Plus (and iPad) extended landscape layouts.

Ol Standard Retard posted:

This is happening on iOS 10.3.2 on iPad as well. Can't expand or collapse subforum lists. Landscape mode and portrait with the slide out both seem to be affected and it always crashes the app.

Sorry about that. I really need to dig in to this and the thread list thing and make things work. I've been putting it off and, shockingly, it's not getting any better on its own.

I don't know if it's 11.2 or the app but sometimes when I come back from sleep a gray box covers the part of the screen where the keyboard shows up. It's about the same gray as dark-theme iOS keyboard character keys.

I know it's not the keyboard because I can still touch the bottom bar and it very briefly goes to whichever section I touched before being covered entirely in gray (with the status bar still overlaid at the top). Force close fixes it but urgh.

E: Sorry, only about half keyboard height, but this time it even happened after switching back to it from another app.

I’ve been stuck with the infinite preview loop for a few months.

When replying to the thread, I click preview, my only option is to continue clicking preview. If I click cancel and then try to post, it brings up my post in the actual preview window and then let’s me post.

So it would seem to be that when clicking preview initially and it switching to the “bugged” preview window, it is failing to load whatever code calls for the post button. Cancelling and reloading the post calls the proper code.

So, is there a trick to getting Awful to cooperate with Chrome/Youtube? Both apps are installed, the settings are set to open links in those apps, but both when pressing links and long-pressing links and selecting "Open in (relevant app)" it just goes straight to Safari for both. Am I a big dum-dum for missing an option or toggle somewhere?

you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack

I just had a weird bug that may not be Awful’s fault, but came up while trying to make a post from Awful.

I tried to reply to a thread, hit reply, and the app crashed. When I reopened it, my bookmarks page shows the thread with one unread post, killed by me, but when I click on it I get a blank where the post should be, just black, no posts at all. I can scroll to the top and get the parent forum / previous posts / scroll to end buttons. When I hit previous posts, all the posts before the one I tried to make appear, but without an “end of thread” note. When I drag up from the bottom to load more posts, then the end of thread note appears. If I go back to my bookmarks, it still shows my waiting unread post. Loading the thread in Firefox shows the post is not there, but my usercp.php DOES show the waiting unread post just like in Awful.

Either the forums are loving something up or something about Awful making the post hosed the forums up, who knows, I’m not a computers mechanic

That is super weird. I wonder if it's related to the weird grey bars that appear sometimes at the top of the thread lists on iPad. They look superficially similar.

No trick, you're not missing anything. Probably a bug. I'll make an note; in the meantime, it's possible that deleting Awful and reinstalling it might do something? But that's not much of a fix.

Regular Nintendo posted:

Size classes have always been useless garbage and I tell anyone who will listen at every opportunity. Huge waste of time. I mean if they solve a problem for you then have at 'er but I always seem to need to toggle a few constraints on/off at breakpoints besides size classes and then the end is nigh.

The crash is definitely Awful's fault. The ghost post I'm less sure. Not long ago a bunch of threads got hosed and you'd see that kind of ghost post a lot, it'd only be freed after some more posts appeared in the thread. But I think most of those threads (including this one's predecessor) closed and started anew to work around the problem. It's possible that Awful sent a hosed up request that got half accepted by the Forums or something, but I'm not looking forward to reproducing that issue. Anyway, I'll make a note for sure.

I've had that happen at least once, but I'm quite sure it was before the last update. I didn't report it because it didn't recur. (may have happened twice, can't remember for sure.)

I don't know if this is a thing you can troubleshoot but I use Swype as my keyboard, and every so often while I'm in Awful, the keyboard will jump to the number/special character keyboard and stop responding. This didn't happen on my 6s, so maybe there's some iPhone X bug in Swype or Awful that needs to be addressed? It's happened on iOS 11.2 and 11.2.1.
