I got the blank posts box bug again just now but with an exciting(?) new twist!


The new twist being that the bottom ~half of the "Share URL" button on that one post was also blanked out!

E: iPhone 8+, iOS 11.3.1, latest App store version of Awful App (v3.35)

Why does Awful keep having the new message icon for PMs when I already read the message and restarted the app multiple times? This is iOS on the newest version, running on an iPhone X.

The other day I noticed that the smilies seem more organized than they used to, like, similar ones (variations on a theme, say) are grouped together now when they weren’t before, but I know the app hasn’t updated in the last few days so I might just be dumb and just noticing it now but anyway I was going to come here and post about it but then I forgot. Then today I opened the smilie list and a lot of them were duplicated, which made scrolling take longer, but also made me remember to come here and post about smilies. The duplication appears when I select the list with the :-) face but not when I use the globe icon to select the smilie keyboard.

It's a safari thing. I think if you press the Open In App button that Safari sometimes shows it'll remember your preference. Out of Awful's hands unfortunately.

Yeah I figured it was an IOS thing. I click that pop up every time and it does open it in the app that time but next time I click a YouTube link it ends up back in safari with that pop up again.

Long presses on threads have had sporadic problems for a while now. Sometimes it gives you the arrows for first page and last page, like I want. Sometimes it does that weird apple thing where a rectangle pops up and then it lets you copy the thread URL, which I don’t want.

I don't know the specific names, but yeah that's probably it. The thing is, I think sometimes all long presses make the thing pop up. Like I can press it for a tenth of a second and it will still happen.

Great app though, I'd never be on the forums without it.

Others have suggested my first thought: tap the "Open in YouTube" that appears in the status bar once you get to Safari. I'll make a note though, we might be doing something silly.

This is probably the most confusing interaction in the app. Sadly, what you see is intended behaviour, but I realize it's hilariously unintuitive. Fixing it is on my list.

jivjov posted:

Was this right after coming back to Awful after awhile so it had been kicked out of memory? (The most obvious giveaway that this is happening is you come back to a screenshot of Awful how you left it, then it disappears and the thread kinda reloads over the next second or two.) Did you browse other threads, or other pages in that thread, and was the theme still messed up?

Arrgytehpirate posted:

-1 is our lil Imgur uploader error code for "poo poo happened".

I'm working on fixing the Imgur uploader but I have no timeline for actually shipping it, sorry.

It does yeah, and we don't really parse that error condition and report it in a useful way. Working on fixing both of those.

Picked the right thread! Usually a force quit fixes it too. Actually, recently I've found just scrolling around makes it go away, it's weird.

There is an open issue about the smilie keyboard coming up empty when posting. I don't really have a workaround, but if you can somehow change keyboards that might help? Might need to (temporarily) disable the smilie keyboard to get it to change within Awful, I think "current keyboard" can be a per-app setting. And I'll +1 the issue.
