Sometimes the app crashes. Being useful goon such as I am, I can't offer you rock solid reproduction other than it happening after I click on a post to go to it when I'm already "a few posts deep in" and then there's a partially shown post, a screen worth of blank space below it, and it resumes afterwards with whatever is the other post there then. Then something happens and the app crashes. iPhone ecks, last iOS version.

The real fix is to make it hard to accidentally trigger the thing. I'd rather put the work into that than more settings.

I'm cool with that -- like maybe 25% of screen height, instead of what it is now?

My assumption is this is a "we preload the images as you go down and dump them once you're past them, so if you scroll up we reload the image while yelling "poo poo" a lot" kind of thing

That could very well be it. It is maddening, though. I scroll up and down when reading threads, a lot of times because if I'm doing it on the iPad, I'm doing something else as well, so I realize that I wasn't paying attention to something I read and need to scroll back up. Or in the comic strip thread, for example, someone will say something about a comic that I didn't notice about it so I need to scroll up and find it again if they didn't quote it.

Is RAM on an iOS device that much at a premium that they need to be dumped the instant you're past them and not when you move to the next page or something? Or is this some built-in apple garbage collection? I'm normally an android person for mobile devices and aside from this minimally used iPad Pro (and an iPad 3 before it,) my last iOS device was the iphone 3G so I may just be out of the loop on this stuff. Please don't take it as criticism of the OS or starting some stupid yospos battle, it's not my intent. I just don't use the iPads all that often - I have it for a specific iOS only app, and otherwise it lives in the basement and I mostly use it to look up gamefaqs type stuff for whatever PS4 game I'm playing, or occasionally just read it while doing flightsim.

Hey I'm procrastinating again which means I've given the app icons and main :v: throbber an overhaul. Little tweaks where I can to simplify them and clean them up.

If someone could try popping them in an upcoming beta for a test spin that would be rad.


Here they are.


All the dimensions and naming should be the same except for the blue circled ones that look like this:



These ones I've upped the dimensions from 64x64/96x96 to 72x72/108x108.

Anyone else have the thing where you can’t scroll while writing a PM? I can force the screen to “scroll” by hitting return a bunch of times, but otherwise I can’t scroll up and down and if I write enough (or if I’m quoting someone) the text just goes under the keyboard and I can’t see what I wrote anymore.

Popping up from out of nowhere...


I’ve seen a bug that, for the life of me, I can’t figure out why this matters, but here goes:

Photos that I have had airdropped to me are unable to be uploaded. If I screenshot-copy the same image, it can be uploaded, but the original cannot.

I even attempted to edit the photo before uploading (so it shows a preview instead of an empty box), but alas, no joy.

How are we doing with uploading images on iOS 11+? It didn’t work at first due to HEIC form my understanding, but then it kinda did a couple month ago, and now it’s broken again. Which is weird because I can upload via the imgur app fine.

Popping up from out of nowhere...


The image I uploaded in my post was from iOS (and you can tell because it auto-timg'd).

Pictures taken from the same device can be uploaded from Awful, but if I airdrop from, say, my iPhone to my iPad, I can't post the photos from the iPad's Awful app, and vice versa.

Edit for clarity: imgur app works just fine, as previously stated by Josh Lyman. This issue is with Awful alone.

I think what I’m seeing is slightly different. Links stop working, sometimes if I do a “select all” and then deselect it, the links will be clickable again, otherwise furiously mashing the link leads to it trying to select the link as text, like so:

That does sound a bit different. I'll add it to the list!

I was futzing with the build script and I did manage to ship the current store version without Crashlytics turned on, but that was unintentional. I still get crash logs from Apple, and Crashlytics will be back on next version.

kimbo305 posted:

I think a combination of getting the right distance (25% seems like a good start) and making sure you're actually at the bottom will get the job done.

Welcome! There's no way at the moment to get notifications like that. The PM one is probably doable and is a good idea, I'll add it to my list. The "when quoted" one is probably not doable so I'll put it in the XenForo 2.0 list.

Nah you're good, I'm taking it as a perfectly valid criticism of the app! If it helps, it's not something Awful is doing (afaik), it's just part of the old-rear end web view we're using to render posts. I have vague hopes that some of this stuff gets better when we finally move over to the new-rear end web view to render posts, but we won't know until we try. On the plus side, new-rear end web view gained the last remaining feature we were waiting for in iOS 11, so we can actually move over now without losing functionality/committing to ridiculous workarounds.
