~ why do some bookmark threads have a red color link to unread posts and others are orange? I assume it's supposed to be threads you are quoted in or something but it doesn't work. One thread unread count is always red and no other.

On the website you can change a bookmark's color. Awful will show the color but currently has no way to change it. Any chance that's what you're seeing?

There are a few additional symptoms for this one.

  • The status bar text goes from white to black with an upward wipe, as if something slides up over it.
  • Something slides off the screen downward. not sure on this one now
  • The navigation bar eventually appears floating over the thread list, but with no visible controls on it.

Also you can get out of the preview loop by canceling and hitting the post button. It will be sitting there ready to post. Not sure fit his helps track it down. It happens 100% of the time for me.

Edit: Screenshots, “good” status bar state, bad state (links don’t work) plus lost navigation panel.

While we’re at it, you’d probably want to make liking tweets possible in the forums without needing to open twitter itself first. Idk how but the android version works that way.

How does it work on the Android version? I don't really add a whole "sign in to Twitter" thing to Awful, but if there's something in between that and kicking out to Twitter.app I'm game to try it.

As mentioned, looks like this is the ol' ghost post issue. Forums fuckery unfortunately, not even sure we can detect that and give it a better error message.

I see it pretty often myself on my iPhone 7, (usually latest) master branch. Near as I can tell, _something_ is causing SFSafariViewController to get presented UNDER most of the view hierarchy. In my playing around, if I get the SFSafariViewController to actually present on top like it should, it's completely blank, having only a blank UINavigationBar at the top.

You’re quite toxic about it. Perhaps going outside every once in a while might help?

In the future, instead of giving vague snarky remark, you could just give a clear answer or just say the answer was a few posts up rather than “in the thread”.

If you get called out for having problems with reading comprehension it's okay to admit you were wrong. You don't need to behave like a petulant child.

I see the logic here. The status bar changing suggests some other view controller is being held responsible for managing it, could well be a Safari View Controller. I'll keep pondering.

I've had problems before (I couldn't log in). Then I went to Hong Kong and everything was fine. Now I'm back in china, and although I seem to be logged in I can't refresh the forums or see the content of any forum (just a blank page). On a desktop everything is fine, but ever since the DNS attacks a few months ago if you log in from china (even through a VPN) you have to complete a captcha. I think the problems I'm having have to do with the app not being able to use/see/load/display the captcha, if you see what I mean. Is there any way around this or hope for a fix?

Y'all I think images in tweets are broken, and as the only user of this app I thought you'd like to be made aware.

I'm gonna file this as a top priority and then I'll be back in the office Feb 29th to continue troubleshooting.

Edit: something I just ran into. I’m on iPhone 7 Plus. Is there an option to make Instagram links open in the instagram app? It always opens in the awful app browser, and closest I could find was to share on Facebook or open in chrome.

No one is able to tell if you will be able to understand this, but the twitter images bug was fixed in the latest version of the app, and you can download it from the app store.

Just wanted to stop by and say that I love this app and use it exclusively to browse the forums. I only open Safari to access mod powers.

Is there any chance that the app could ever integrate the mod stuff like editing threads, moving threads, and the punishment/reward menu? I’m guessing not but it can’t hurt to ask. :)
