Dumb question but I can’t figure it out: can I remove a forum from the forums list? I do not want to ever see FYAD.

Nope. You could favourite every other forum and push it way down the screen though!

(Not a serious suggestion.)

Wow the OLED dark is great.

Is it possible to make it so the top UI bar and bottom UI bar to both completely disappear when you scroll down? And then comes back when you scroll up? With just the contents remaining when you navigate down a page. Similar to the reader mode on a webpage in safari.

Also is it possible to apply the same font size eg. 160% of normal, to twitter or other text based media embeds? Otherwise everything is nice and big but then you have to squint at the tiny twitter texts.

Keep up the awesome work :)

This happens to me to once in a while and I still don't know what's going on. Someday I'll figure it out.

This is happening to me fairly nonstop lately, it seems to get worse the further down a page I am. I'm probably 100 pages back or so on the OSHA thread catching up, and because for whatever reason mp4 files don't embed (I'm not crabbing about this, btw, I remember there being some reason) there are quite a few to click on. They get really hard to click by the end of a page and I'll have to poke at it for a while. Zooming in doesn't really seem to help either.

So I like the zoom on my phone but on the iPad it’s kinda a pain in the rear end when it’s in landscape.

When it is the comments can pane can move around which seems weird. It’s not a huge deal but it does feel weird.

I’ve always assumed image problems had to do with a limited number of API calls to imgur. It works every time near the beginning of the month then stops working near the end of the month. It’s likely that last time you tried was near the end of April and now it works because we are only 5 days into May.

So I've started updating my .NET SA Parser and coming up with ways to generate forum templates. I took the posts-view css as a baseline, replaced the '.iphone' and '.ipad' entries with CSS Media Queries, and embed the full custom title HTML to show if it has space to be viewed. I got it working in my code, so I backported those changed to Awful.app so I could see it easily on my iPhone and iPad.



Here's the full video

I'm not sure if you want to show the full Custom HTML there or not, but it might be an area worth exploring, instead of having CSS values in place based on platform.

It could be this too.

I’m on the Xs maxxxxx so it should be working for you too I’d imagine.

Only other thing you could do is delete the app and reload it.

Incredibly minor thing - when I open a user profile because I want to see their avatar text or whatever, I need to click "done" to make it go away. It would be nice if any of the "usual" things would work for this, either dragging down to dismiss it, clicking anywhere outside the profile, or swiping from the left edge of the screen.

Swiping down (not in the scrollable window ofc) might make the most sense since that's where it shoots off to when you hit "done" anyways.

This is probably one of Awful's oldest feature requests, and it's still something I'd love to do sometime. Believe it or not, some of the recent posts view fuckery should make this a bit easier to implement. I'll +1 it on the list for sure.

Things getting worse as you scroll down is interesting. I'll have to keep that in mind. And of course I'll +1 it on the list!

Sorry about that. I'm not aware of any outstanding issues, and with such lovely error messages it's pretty hard to figure out what's what. I need to improve those error messages for sure.

That's a great idea! All I can think of is maybe at some point I thought we'd have more drastic UI changes in iPhone vs. iPad? But yeah seems like media queries would make way more sense.

Appreciate the video too!

It's a good idea, especially when we don't show custom titles/gang tags/etc. in the posts view so making it super easy to look someone up becomes even more important. I'll add it to the list!

I haven’t thought much about how I prioritize various Awful bugs, but for some reason “unnecessarily scrolls horizontally” is like one notch below “can’t scrape posts”.

Speaking of ad hoc prioritization, I’m thinking it will soon be time to bump Awful’s minimum required iOS version. Now, I have no actual timeline in mind. And don’t fret: if/when it happens, the then-current version will continue to work for a long time (assuming the Forums doesn’t completely change). That said, if anyone who’s stuck on iOS 9 or iOS 10 has a particular bug or feature they’d love to see some action on, no matter how often or infrequently it gets mentioned here, post it! And I’ll see what I can do.

I've seen this happen maybe twice in the last few months, it's completely baffling when it's happening. I wonder if I'm doing something I shouldn't be doing with that text view? I'll take a look, I know it's super frustrating when it happens.

I think there's some longstanding issue here that's never quite gone away.

I was getting annoyed at the delay after tapping (the delay is to wait for you to double-tap, which I never do so it's pretty useless to me). It came about as a side effect of allowing zooming, but it's actually really easy to turn off, so that'll be in the next version.
