I don't understand why I can't harass people online. Seriously, somebody please explain why I shouldn't be allowed to stalk others on social media!
I’m getting this bug on my Xs (iOS 12.4) where the threads in the Bookmarks tab aren’t tappable anymore. I can still scroll in there, but tapping on a thread does nothing. Only way to fix this is by force closing the app and restarting. I want to say I’m also able to force touch the thread and it’ll pop open and then they’re all tappable again but I can’t confirm this atm cause I don’t have the phone with me. I tried reproducing it but haven’t been able to do it so it just comes and goes. Sorry I don’t have more info :(

Same here. You can get out of it by swiping on the thread title as though you were going to delete it from bookmarks. This will make it tappable again.

More of a question than a bug or request: how can I reliably swipe from the bookmarks page to the thread i was just reading? it takes me about 15-20 attempts on average to do that rather than reveal the Delete Thread button behind whatever row I’m swiping on

I swipe the header, and that seems to work reliably (though not if I'm using it in app-over-app mode on my iPad, perhaps obviously).

The behavior of the top bar has changed in one of the recent(ish?) updates.

The Nice Days: start showing whenever you're scrolling upwards, start hiding whenever you're scrolling downwards, and iirc would remain only partially visible when you stopped scrolling while it was transitioning; also it was always visible if you scrolled above the top of the earliest rendered post.

Now: the top bar is forced fully-hidden or fully-visible as soon as you stop scrolling; when you start scrolling from stopped and not touching the screen, the key scroll location is then fixed: top bar becomes visible only if you scroll above that location, and hides only if you scroll below that location.

So if you've got only a single short-ish post that was unread, and you start trying to scroll upwards, you need to stop scrolling entirely, let go of the screen until all scrolling momentum has dissipated, and then scroll up a bit (and you might need to scroll downwards and then stop just a little before all this too).

Or maybe when you open a thread, the top bar's key location is set to some negative value above the thread view which you can't reach? So you need to scroll just a little downwards and then stop entirely to reset the key location to something that can actually be reached, and only then you can scroll up to reveal the top bar.

I liked the old behavior overall better although I assume (or maybe vaguely remember?) that there was some kind of problem that cropped up with it. Probably after an iOS update that changed internal behavior!

Sounds good, thanks! I think I've usually seen it with what feel like relatively heavyweight webpage links, so things like Twitter and YouTube. I'll try to note down which webpage next triggers it for me as well.

Yeah I did a number on it when fiddling with the posts page view hierarchy and I haven't quite got it right. Appreciate the thorough explanation, it makes total sense! I've got it on my list.

Ah yeah, this one's a weird one and it's been around for awhile too. No worries about the info, appreciate it and the more reports the more likely I am to (be able to) fix it!

Honestly the whole "pop-forward" thing we do to navigation controllers is incredibly hacky and I'm amazed it works at all :D as mentioned sometimes it works better on the navigation bar at the top, otherwise I'm not sure what else to do.

We could apply a CSS filter to dim images—in this example I’m dimming all images in the post body that aren’t emoticons, and toggling full brightness for an individual image on tap. Maybe this could work somehow.



Do we have a way of detecting the theme from RenderView.js yet?

We could pref it for maximum brightness and use some image math on it to just cap V in a shader or something. Dimming all images seems like not what we want, at least without a per-image override. (Which, hmm, could just be the ImageView itself, hmm hmm.)

If it’s not applied to the image view I think it might work fine, but would make dim stuff hard to see on the page. Only one way to find out, I guess!

The new themed light mode looks great. I noticed it's called Bright Light in menu which is still sort of confusing. We now have:

Classic
Classic Dark
Alternate
Alternate Dark
Bright Light
OLED Dark

It's sort of an excessive set of options IMO. Wouldn't it makes sense to phase out the old alternate ones and relabel the two new ones Light / Dark and make them the default? They seem better in every way to me. Placing these as default would let people know there's that option straight away without looking at the change notes and they could go find the legacy theme if they prefer them.

We should also destroy the current default app icon cause it looks ugly as gently caress compared to the others.

I agree with all of this, except that Frog Icon should be the only icon because it's objectively best.

Agree with this.

Only issue is that in the new "bright" theme, it's hard to tell the difference between read/unread posts. Not sure if the background is the same or just so similar that my eyes can't distinguish them.

Yeah it does look like the opacity of that gradient needs to be pumped up.

There's also still the weird issue where threads without many new posts display as mixes of different themes. This screen grab is meant to be the Bright Light theme:

If I tap on someones name in a thread, the icons in the pop up aren’t vertically centred, instead they are jammed against the top. The share icon pop up also seems to be suffering from something like this, but that pop up has a title text that makes it less noticeable.

Not a bug, just a nit pick. :)

Hi pokeyman, good news is that the duplicate-thread-in-bookmarks issue never reappeared.
Bad news is that the leper's colon display has had a scrolling issue for a while (and I've just been too lazy to report it).

If I scroll down about fifty lepers or so, reaching the bottom of the preloaded items, it seems to load two more screens' worth of lepers and jumps to the top of the second lot. So to see the second lot, I have to scroll back up 50 items or so.

Theme idea makes sense to me, except the part about the default. In general I like how Awful doesn’t often randomly change poo poo around for no reason, in contrast to too many apps. I’m not saying no but I wanna think about it.

Same idea for the app icon really, changing the default doesn’t seem super helpful to me.

That password reset screen is literally the Forums webpage opened in Safari, we intentionally kick you out of the app for it (lest we get rejected for letting you navigate to a website that has a link to a place where you can pay cash money for things without giving Apple a 30% cut). If it's not working, all I can suggest is try another browser or maybe try it on a computer?

Also I'll reword that login expiry warning message. It's meant to let you know you'll be automatically logged out soon, not suggest you need to change your password. But it's not super clear on that.
