This is when you e.g. tap a forum in the list and we push the list of threads on to the screen?

I saw it going from bookmarked threads to posts in thread. But I haven't seen it come up in a while.

Are there any known issues that would cause a crash on iPhone SE still on iOS 10.x?

I wasn't doing anything funky (not quoting, not posting, not commenting at all), I was just browsing and the app crashed. Happened twice to me before I gave up.

Is anyone else getting weird grey patches over the screen? I either get a grey patch where the keyboard should be when I switch apps, or more rarely a full grey screen when I quote someone, don't post and move to the next page. Both need a force quit to fix.

- Graying out thread titles for closed threads

When browsing on iPad with a keyboard I hit the space bar to jump down the thread a bit. Quite often this stops working - it can be if I look at an image full screen, or click a link then return.

I've noticed that I can (sort of inconsistently) get the space bar working again by pressing various buttons in the thread (thread settings, share button, (...) button. If I mash these buttons on and off enough eventually the keyboard has an effect again.

It feels similar to if a window on a desktop loses focus or something. Would be great if this didn't happen but realise it's a bit of an edge case.

I sometimes hold the iPhone X in two fingers, middle finger up top and thumb at the bottom. Frequently, my finger strays from the notch over to the right, onto the right "cat ear" corner. The top edge of that, when tapped, still scroll the page up to the top. Is it allowed by Apple for you app to differentiate the X and have a different behavior? Aka only scroll to top of page when tapped at the line along the bottom of the notch?

Feature request: add an additional confirmation before removing bookmarks with the swipe action. Maybe it’s just me but I often swipe accidentally then get paranoid that I’ve pressed delete on a thread I’ll never remember I wanted to follow.

I long-pressed an image, that was originally in [timg] tags, to view it. From that screen, I then shared it, where I selected "copy" - assuming that it'd put the image link into the clipboard. That didn't seem to happen, though admittedly this is my first iOS device ever so I may have hosed up something else along the way.

I get it now. That "Copy" action will copy the image data itself, not the URL. There's a separate "Copy URL" action that should suit your needs. (It has no icon, but it should still work.)

I've been having problems with the thread list, particularly when scrolling to a next "page". Once I get to the end of the list, Awful loads for a moment, flashes black and throws the threads onto the screen but in a weird order or more often than not, doesn't update the list and throws me back up to the top of the list. Why not have the thread list work like pages in a thread do where the cutoff is clearer and easier to navigate?

I suspect what's going on here, or at least part of the problem, is threads moving between pages (because new posts). I don't have a great answer for this, but it's worth pondering on it until we come up with something.

It is kinda funny that the posts screen, where an "infinite scroll" would work ok because posts don't change their sort position within a thread, keeps the pagination clear.

Would it be possible to add a feature to (locally) block mods from showing up in the app? The website won’t let me do that.

As in, add a mod to your ignore list? It's technically possible but I prefer to follow the website's lead on things like this. I won't implement it myself and I wouldn't accept a code contribution that implemented it.

I've got a few crashes logged that match that description and could plausibly line up with what you're seeing. No obvious cause jumps out at me though, so I can't recommend any particular workarounds, other than the usual vague "try uninstalling and reinstalling the app". Nothing in the crash logs I can see lend any support to it being fixed by reinstalling though. Sorry.

Not sure about that kind of differentiation but I'm interested in looking at either a "tap again to jump back down to where you were" or a setting to turn it off entirely (if it's that bad; if it's sometimes useful sometimes an accident then a setting probably won't help much).

Shake to undo!

…is a basically undiscoverable feature that can be turned off so I can't rely on it working.

You're saying you swipe to bring up the Delete button, then tap Delete, then have regrets? Because there were a few months there where you could delete bookmarks with just a swipe, and that was bad and gross but fixed a couple versions ago.

That's when I press share and then slide to the right, I see it now. I swear to god that before that I saw some other menu which would have like 3 bars with one button in each and one of them would be just copy and no copy url or anything, but I'm not sure how to replicate that.

The Earth is the cradle of the mind, but one cannot stay in the cradle forever.
Apologies if this had been asked before, but I was just handed an old ipad2 which I intend to use mostly as e-reader and light browsing platform. It was given to me running on ios9, which made it laggy as hell and nearly unusable, so I decided to jailbreak it and downgrade it back to ios6 which mostly solved the problem - it reacts fast and snappy now.

When installing the awful app from the store, it told me that the newest version is ios9 only but I could install an older compatible one, which I did. It installed just fine, but for some reason won't let me log in. I double checked the login data a bunch of times and same result - login error. Anyone got any idea of what's going on? Is the app so old that it's broken?

Vvv Thanks!

The forums started requiring HTTPS for logging in at some point in the last couple years, long after the app dropped iOS 6 compatibility, so basically that version of the app won't work with the current forums.
