Ah, I see what's going on. Apparently the menu button on the post break the layout when your font size is bigger than the default 16px.

Proving once again that settings are a mistake.

Will work on a fix.

ah weird. I thought it might have been font size related so I changed it from 16 to 15 and it was still happening.

It's probably dependent on the device text size settings too eh - the font sizes are sp not dp
Floating the ... over to the right and leaving the middle area flexible should fix it right?

Do you mean like if someone links to an imgur gallery you want the app to fetch the url of the image?

I think they mean if you make an image into a link like this:
code:

[url=WEBSITE LOCATION][img]IMAGE LOCATION[/img][/url]

In a case like that, tapping on it would only give you the link-related options, not the image-related options.

I see, also I'm kind of confused because I thought the app already did that. Huh.

I just updated; I used the classic theme because I don't like all the space and prefer the higher post density and contrast, and the left and right margins on posts are huge now compared to what they used to be. current look :shrug: Not a huge issue, but I miss the fuller width: left/right margin used to be about the same as top margin.

This is my complaint also. It's just wasted space and I don't like the look of it at all.

It mainly looks weird because the text left margin is much more than the username left margin, so it looks better indented.

One suggestion: Not showing the blue drag shapes on the sides if you're already scrolling up and down. My thumbs like to go sideways while I scroll and it pulls the blue blob on screen.

That's part of the horizontal scrolling issue people have been talking about. Should be fixed soon.

Yep. I had my system set to one larger than default and had to drop awful's font to 14 to stop the horizontal scrolling. Set system to normal and now it's 16.

Font is default and I'm on the dark theme, but my device's text size is set to "Huge," so that's probably messing with it.

Edit: setting Awful to 13 with my device at "Huge" fixes it, but the text is too teeny tiny for me.

Holy Hell.
I didn't see this mentioned in the last few pages, sorry if it's a repeat:

I turned on my phone this morning and Awful was gone from its usual spot on my home screen. My first thought was "Why was the app banned from the Play Store? Probably been secretly taking pictures when I read the forums in the bathroom."

However, I soon found it in the app drawer with a new icon. Weird that it disappeared from my home screen, but whatever.

I fiddled with the setting to change the icon and it disappeared from my home screen again! I found the app in the drawer, again, and this time it wouldn't open. Error message something like "App is not installed" when tapping the icon. (I could still get back to the app via the app switcher.)

After a short time the icon switched in the app drawer and I could launch the app like normal again.

So, something about changing the application's icon is buggy. When I change the icon any shortcuts disappear and I can't launch from the app drawer until after the icon swaps out.

Yeah the icon switcher is sort of a hack, Android doesn't really let you do that so it's a bit of witchy magic, and how quick the launcher reacts depends on the launcher. It's also why the home screen icon disappears when you change it (which the app did when it updated)

We don't have donation links but what you can do is buy no-ads if you don't already have that. Makes me feel better about leaving out the ads Lowtax serves.

Sometimes, I have noticed, it's very difficult and I have to try to tap it about a half dozen or more times before it registers. Usually it's fine, probably less than 1 in 20 times it happens. I don't have any inkling of a pattern for it.

I had something happen but I can't recreate it. I looked at a thread before bed. When I woke up I pushed bookmark and it wouldn't work. The thread still existed. I'm guessing it either it changed name or what page it was on or got moved to a different subforum or something, but I don't know what. Anyway, this is obviously an extremely minor problem in any case but I just thought I'd say something.

I don't know what ZDR is but I went looking for the donation thread for it anyway in GBS.

Jesus loving Christ, there is some mental stuff up in there. Is it just a free-for-all and anything goes?

Anyway, please reconsider allowing goons to cross the palms. I guarantee we'll not make you rich, but you'll all probably get enough for a decent whiskey or a cinema ticket or a nice big bag of rice cakes.

ZDR is administrator and forum code janitor Zen Death Robot. He keeps the servers running and has been essentially furloughed without pay until next year.

The Awful devs accepting money puts them in a potentially tenuous relationship with Lowtax given that the site is supported by ad revenue and ads aren't served up in the app. It's best for everyone if no one kicks that particular hornet nest.

Under the hamburger menu in the upper left, we get the forum/subforum/thread list. How this has worked until now is I can tap back to the subforum either from that menu or the back arrow, then return to the thread via that menu and it returns me to where I was in the thread.

In the current Play Store version this menu now puts me at the first post of the thread.
