This seems to happen randomly. It usually happens when loading a thread, and goes away when loading a different thread. Has persisted for a few months now across multiple versions.

Edit: after loading the Awful thread from the link in settings
It went away again.

Same, on iPhone 8. Spoilers are completely non-functional even after force closing. I restarted the phone and that seemed to work but when I loaded the next page it was broken again.

Semi-monthly +1 towards investigating the spoiler issue more, please. Thanks :)

I was having a minor issue accessing the 3 dot menu on a post but was able to bring it up via repeated taps or a long press. I’ve had similar success for spoiler and user pop up issues as well. Could the trigger box for these items be getting scaled weirdly for some reason? It seems like there’s a sweet spot that is more easily hit by the repeated tapping and/or long press.

Seems as plausible as anything else! I'll add it to the issue and maybe something will occur to somebody… because it sure hasn't occurred to me yet.

Bug report: IOS 12.1.2 on an iPhone XR using the latest beta. So here’s a weird one that I’m not sure has been mentioned before. If you tap on someone’s name and view “their posts” you can use the pager to go back and forth and you can jump to a specific page by tapping jump, but if you use “last post” it stops filtering by their posts but leaves the pager in a state where it thinks you still are filtering by their posts.

This is a weird one. I haven't looked into it yet, but I suspect it won't be super complicated when I do!

My uneducated suggestion would be to roll back to the version before the one that started the issue and re-add everything else, but I have no idea how big of a pain in the rear end that is (I assume a large one :( )

Edit: whatever beta was released on 11/9/18, by a quick perusal of this thread, seems to have been the start of the issue if that’s helpful?

It is helpful! But I think that might just be the oldest build still available on the beta? Builds expire after 90 days.

I verified it was still not working before I turned off the alt theme, and now that poo poo works again.

Now, it has worked on and off sporadically, so I’m withholding my “you cracked the code” until I can go for an extended time.

I did have that turned on, yes. I’ll leave it off for a few days and see if spoilers stay working. :)

Edit: I’m going to feel real dumb if that was the solution because I should have tried that myself. I do like the alternate theme a lot, though. Hopefully we can get that working for spoilers if that’s the issue :)

I previously did, and I overall prefer the alt app theme's aesthetics, but I turned it off months ago when I realized it was easier to read hyperlinks in the mainstream(?) app theme when I had my phone at minimum brightness. I have still experienced difficulties tapping spoilers sometimes. I do keep Dark Mode on permanently, though!

Speaking of darkness spreading across the land, would it be possible to brighten both the regular thread view's hyperlink color as well as the new post view's text cursor in the new-post view? In low-light conditions, the text cursor's vertical bar is more difficult to distinguish from the background than anything else -- especially when you force-press the keyboard to freely move the cursor around the text box.


Awful's been much better about remembering my place in a thread when reopening, as well as actually linking to a specific post in an already-loaded page, since the latest App Store update. Thanks for the fix(es) in last week's update!

Dude?
Can we get a setting to disable/enable the tweaks menu gesture? I am triggering it ALL THE TIME when I use my phone in bed. After I’ve navigated to something I want to read I let my phone slide down my hand so it rests on my chest and when it does it triggers the menu like almost every time. Then to dismiss it I’ve got to pick it up again because the button to dismiss it is on the bottom right corner. I know it’s a little thing but it’s become really annoying. Maybe even having the dismiss button at the top instead of the bottom would be enough?

I’m alternate all the time and had the bug. It’s gone on the debug version with your changes so far. Which means I caused it when I hamfistedly crammed the alternate theme in there. Sorry!

I also have a small fix I made in my OLED theme branch that I’ll send over, the alternate themes aren’t pointing at the right css files.

I got real excited and wanted people to test what I found, but don’t worry: a fix for the alternate theme will be in the next version (not the one that just came out today).

It explains a lot of the spoilers issue, but seemingly not all of it. Should make a big difference at least.

I messed up the implementation of the alt theme and as a result changes to the spoiler element css were not being picked up by the alternate theme's stylesheet.

A small thing:

If someone puts a gif in spoiler tags, there seems to be no way to make it play, since tapping on the play button makes it re-spoiler.

+1 to this, and also I haven't been able to longpress-to-open gifs any more like other images, when I have the tap-to-play-gifs setting on. Unless it was fixed by one of the two App Store updates in the past week or so!


e: oops, that's a tumblr URL, so it doesn't get the tap-to-play-gif overlay, and I CAN longpress-to-open that gif. Here's an imgur reupload:

With the tap-to-play overlay on the imgur gif, I cannot longpress-to-open that gif.

Ah the classic “whoopsiedoodle”. Happens to the best of us. Good to see some progress there.

Good to know, thanks. I'm starting to think I'll never quite close the "spoilers don't works sometimes" bug. But what else is new :)

Warbird posted:

It's as carry on then said, but to add a lil detail: WKWebView (and Safari on iOS) doesn't fire click events on a lot of elements (elements that aren't typically clickable). One way to work around it by setting cursor: pointer on those elements. I did that awhile back in the base style file, but that change didn't propagate to the alternate theme. I only noticed it when deleting some old, unused style rules and noticed that a couple of the .css files hadn't regenerated.
