Has anyone noticed that when a pane slides in from the right, the animation is such that it can pause on the last pixel momentarily? Like you can see a line of whatever is being covered over for a noticeably long time on the left edge?

So there's been some discussion in the iPhone thread about uploading pictures to Imgur through the app. I think it's an understood thing that trying to do so fails about 99% of the time, most people seem to think for API rate limit reasons, but I swear to god that there is a way to upload pictures to Imgur with 100% success rate in my experience.

This way fails most of the time:

• Tap empty text field
  
• Tap [img]
  
• Tap From Library
  
• Choose picture
  

I have never seen this method fail:

• Copy picture you want to upload (as in tap on the image, or share button, and hit copy)
  
• Tap empty text field
  
• Tap [img]
  
• Tap Paste
  

I tried looking into the code to see where these events were called/handled but I don't know enough about iOS programming to know what the hell I'm looking for. I grepped for 'imgur' but don't really know enough Swift to understand what I was looking at. I just want to know if these two methods are actually calling different methods or using different inputs somehow, or if I am just super lucky.

After long pressing an image to see it full size I find myself constantly accidentally dismissing the image when zoomed in and "scrolling" around the image

I'm not even sure what the dismiss gesture is that triggers that but I always scroll too far in one direction or another and then I'm back in the thread. It would be cool to have it be more obvious what's going on or simply just make it "tap image to bring up the "Done" button to close"

carry on then posted:

Also, can we do something about :

Swift code:

override var refreshControl: UIRefreshControl? {
        // These were here to help migrate away from UIRefreshControl. Might as well leave them in to make sure we don't accidentally try something.
        get { fatalError("use pullToRefreshView") }
        set { fatalError("use pullToRefreshView") }
    }

It breaks capturing the UI hierarchy.

With the most recently-released version, it appears that thread titles in the bookmarks list being grayed out if the thread is closed is not working.

Any chance of that returning?

Stare-Out posted:

Bookmarks flash white in dark mode when you open them, is this an intended thing? Nothing against it, just checking that it's working as it should be.

carry on then posted:

My guess is it's an overeager gesture recognizer that sees any pan down as the downward swipe that means close the view. We can probably adjust that to be more discriminating, or at least only work when the image is zoomed out.

Zero One posted:

Odd bug that just started. I'm running the most recent 11.3 public beta. The app doesn't seem to save the most recent view when the phone goes to sleep. I can be in one thread and if the phone sleeps and I wake it the app will show a thread from several minutes ago before refreshing to where I was after a few seconds.

This doesn't seem to happen if I exit the app to the home screen. Only sleep.

mrfishstick posted:

Had this bug for at least a few releases so I thought I would toss in a report:

Embedded twitter links appear to only be loading every other page within a thread. Meaning, they will load fine one page and after advancing to the next page, the twitter links will not parse and instead just be generic url links to tweets but load just fine again after the page is changed.

Just wanted to throw out an idea to make the Awful app even more betterer.

If I’m reading through a giant thread that’s somewhat old and difficult to find, it’d be nice if you could pin it similar to pinning sub forums. That way it stays above your regular list of bookmarks, but is easier to get back to.

Thanks for all the work on making this app cool and good

shortspecialbus posted:

Am I missing it or is there not an option to show previous posts by default? Every time I open one of my bookmarks I generally want to look at the last few posts to get my bearings. It's easy enough to bop the button every time but if I could set this as a default it would be great. I dug through and didn't see such an option, but I might have missed it.

98% of the time I'm on an android device (or normal browser) so it's possible there's some apple-ism here that I'm not aware of since I don't use this ipad all that often.

Also TBH I'd prefer no end of page scroll equals load next page behavior. I'm scrolling down to last post on not-current page and then poo poo I'm on the next page.

Fake edit: You own for doing this and thank you for doing so. I don't know poo poo about whatever language Apple has turned MAH BEAUTIFUL C into but I can help with random git bullshit etc.

the littlest prince posted:

this one has been around a while so it's probably known but if you open a thread that's unread, finish reading it (say it's just a few posts) and then go back, it will jump like 80% of the way down the page. it's kind of annoying if I don't want to read that thread any more because I'll have to go track it down to mark it as unread.

anyway thanks for your time spent doing the good work.

Grassy Knowles posted:

I thought it might be useful for you; the issue where posts don't appear properly after using the app for a while until you force quit has changed in the newest beta--now the images for post actions are also only partially loading, where they used to load regardless of the incomplete posts.

Nude posted:

I figured out the crash! It's when I send multiple requests to quote someone on spotty WiFi. What I do (and this only applies to when it is slow) is a hit quote multiple times (pretty quickly). And it will consistently crash.

Now that I know the case though it's not a big deal for me.

So here's a thing I just found out: Mobile youtube links in the format
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kVEkftO2J1s&t=306s

will properly retain the time when youtube inevitably kicks you to the mobile site, but
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kVEkftO2J1s#t=306s

which works on desktop, doesn't work for mobile. The only reason I found this out is because the former worked for the first time ever from the awful app and I was all like because literally every youtube link I've seen on SA is in the latter format. I know it's extremely bespoke, but I doubt youtube would ever fix it-- is there any way to either "Set the awful in-app browser to request the desktop site" or, barring that, "fix youtube timestamps" as a toggle?

Fedule posted:

I don't have a lot of data to prove this, but I suspect Awful is incorrectly rounding down instead of up when assigning rating graphics to threads that are exactly on the threshold. (Eg it will give 4 to a thread on 4.5, or 3 on 3.5, etc etc.)

Seekhay posted:

I’ve been running into an annoying issue lately, where pages won’t partially render properly. Like this:



Sometimes it’s only a single post that’s half blank and others are fine, other times it’s several.

If I force close the client, it goes away for a little while, but returns a few hours later. It doesn’t seem to matter what forum/thread I view either.

Currently running 11.2.6 on and 8+.

When you say "go back" here, do you mean go back into the thread you just finished reading? And it jumps 80% of the way down instead of jumping 100% of the way down?

About the scrolling and accidentally loading the next page thing, what the Android app does is allow you to set the percentage of the screen you need to scroll. I bumped it up a bit slightly from the default and no longer get accidental new pages in that one. The ios app seems to be around 10-15 percent maybe, or at least whatever it is for me is rather low so I accidentally go to the next page a lot. Maybe make that configurable perhaps?

I'm going to dissent and say that while it certainly needs to be adjusted, making it a user setting is a terrible way to "fix" the problem.

I'm starting to wonder if it isn't device-specific. On my Plus it has plenty of room. Perhaps SEs are more sensitive?

My only iOS device is an ipad pro, the 9.7" one or whatever. I seem to accidentally go to a new page fairly often when scrolling down.


Why on earth is user customization (hide it under an 'Advanced' thing if you want) a terrible idea? Not everyone has the same preferences.

Eh, whatever then. I'm not going to get into a philosophical argument about it. It would be nice if it worked better. Would it help if I took a video of how it seems to work, if you don't have access to an ipad?

Diabolik900 posted:

I agree that it's way too sensitive currently. I trigger it accidentally a lot myself. And I'm not philosophically opposed to ever adding settings, but you have to be careful because every new setting adds more complexity both for the users and the developers, and this specific issue can be solved without adding a setting by just playing with the sensitivity until it feels right. It would be different if there was a lot of disagreement about how sensitive it should be, but everyone pretty much seems to agree that the current version is too sensitive.

Something i’ve noticed is once a thread is stickied it seems to stay inside the sticky thread rotation forever. For example, TFF has only two stickied threads. However on my app it has the chat thread, three previous stickied threads (nick foles > brady, the eagles won thread, and the XFL thread), then the rule thread. If any thread falls off page one it drops out of the sticky section, but any posts will put these threads right back up with the stickied threads even though they are no longer sticky.

I hope all of that makes sense. It’s been a long weekend.

Edit: here’s a screenshot.

shortspecialbus posted:

Well, I like it, I just don't like it triggering with such a small pull is all. Or at least not when I start my scroll when I'm not at the bottom of the page - maybe have it not do the pull for next page if you weren't already at the bottom of the page when you do your scroll? That might solve the problem itself, if it would be feasible.

Billzasilver posted:

It’s pretty good for me. maybe if it was a user set it 5% higher. More interestingly, you go read a page with just 1 new post and 39 previous posts not showing, it’s almost impossible to pull up to the next page. You need to pull up by over half the screen length.
