Random question: I’ve got an iphone XR and at seeming-random, I’ll get this weird state where it’s like awful app gets confused what phone I’m using— there’s a grey bar across the top indentation, the menu at the bottom of the bookmark page is shifted down like 30px and the back/next buttons in a thread don’t show up unless I’m in landscape mode. Sometimes it persists through app restarts, sometimes it doesn’t. I assume it’s a known thing (it’s been happening for forever) but is there a workaround?

Crime on a Dime posted:change the Post button in a way that indicates it is now Edit Post? That sounds like a good piece of the solution to me! Keep the pencil symbol when writing a new post, but change it to an "e:" when you're editing a post. Or scissors (maybe your edits are to cut and paste your shitpost film)? Or something else entirely. This would be a good way of alerting the user to what state they're currently in, and can (+ should?) be implemented independently of my suggestions at the bottom for post interface changes. But I think the fundamental issue is that the button does too many things for the level of interaction it affords. The pencil icon button does 3 things, depending on how you count:
Each of the three resulting actions are certainly related, but they're also critically distinct, and they need the user interface to distinguish them better. Additionally, there's no obvious way to discard a nascent edit in order to switch to writing a new post, and the non-obvious way (backing out of the thread and then tapping it afresh -- but not swiping leftwards to reopen it!) also loses your current place in the thread. I also have a few suggestions for improving the interface model! From easiest to hardest: #1: when you have an existing post or edit view, the "Write" button no longer just shows the current view, but instead shows a popup menu with two choices. If you're writing a new post, the options are "Resume Post" and "Discard Post"; while editing a post, "Keep Editing" and "Discard Edit". A similar pair of popup options would be present within the per-post "•••" menu when you hit the Quote button: "Add Quote to Post" vs "Discard and Quote" with an existing new post, or "Add Quote to Edit" vs "Discard and Quote" when editing. Lastly, the per-post Edit button can probably stay as-is. I believe it always creates a new Edit view afresh, and that's all it ever does, so it doesn't have any impedance mismatch between model and interface. Maybe add a "are you sure? Edit from scratch, Cancel" popup if you really want but I've never experienced an issue with the Edit button wiping out a partially typed post of mine. Have any mods had this issue? #2: the same as #1, but each of my proposed popups only appears if you long-press or force-press the relevant buttons. Less discoverable but also optional, so you don't have to add an extra tap to just resume writing your post. (I assume this is at least slightly more difficult than #1 since it would create additional execution paths without removing the current ones.) #3: revamp the interface entirely to match e.g. Mail.app's email drafts! When you start a post or edit and then press the Cancel button, you're given the option to "Discard Post"/"Discard Edit", and an option to "Save Draft". Discarding the draft slides it all the way off the bottom of the screen; saving it slides the draft view down so only its title bar remains visible, pushing the main thread view up. You can also swipe downwards on the draft's title bar as a shortcut for "Save Draft". You resume your draft by tapping on the draft's title bar at the bottom of the screen, or by tapping the "write" symbol in upper left of the thread view (whether it's the pencil or the "e:" symbol). I think the spatial cues of this Mail.app-style post/edit drafting should make it clear enough that you wouldn't need the extra popups that my suggestions #1 and #2 involve: when you start a new post or an edit, the draft has visually apparent persistence as long as you remain in the thread, and you will also have the Cancel popup that lets you explicitly discard that draft while remaining in the current thread. In conclusion, love the app

Filter is working for me now with the update. However, can I put in a fairly low priority request to add or update more of the tags in the app? It may just be the ones I happen to have bookmarked, but a number still use the generic thread tag in the app.

Sometimes I can’t see apostrophes in my own posts. Like, I make a post, then notice the apostrophes are missing. Then, I notice that I literally cannot add apostrophes to that post. I can type them all I want in the app, but they don’t end up in the post.

Part of me suspects it’s a whiff of a quoting issue on the server that will result in the forums being turned into a bitcoin miner or whatever.

Suggestion rather than bug: On the bookmarked threads screen, it'd be nice if we could swipe right to remove threads from bookmarks or the other options. I find the long press to open the options very finicky sometimes.

If you filter a thread by a user's posts and then use "last post" from the page selector thing it takes you to the last page of the unfiltered thread and claims to be on page 0. Using the page navigation in general seems fine, it's just that button.
