Weird thing that i think i saw someone else post about a while ago- If a stickied thread gets unstickied it stays in the position it would be if it was still stuck, until the actual thread gets to the next page of threads. i don't know how to write this in a non-confusing way lol

It happens with the bastaman thread in cspam. If there’s unread posts it shows up in the middle of the stickied threads.

iOS 13.1 latest Awful and YouTube apps.

I have open YouTube links in YouTube.

I click on link in one thread and it opens in YouTube as expected

I click on a link in a different thread it opens in awful going to YouTube.

I long press on the second link and say open in YouTube. Opens in Awful.

This only started after upgrading to iOS 13, but intermittently and I’m having a hard time figuring out what exactly is the difference.

Haven't seen this one but it sounds fun. Any chance you can snag a screenshot next time it happens? Is it an empty white screen? Does it cover the whole screen or is it inset somewhat?
It's an empty white screen that takes up the whole screen. I can get around it by long pressing and opening in a browser but it used to do that on a single press.

Who wants a belly rub??

When the app loads the PM list, they're given a time if same day, or "yesterday" etc. Which is nice, but it never updates these as the date changes. I have several PMs received on separate days that all say "yesterday" now (bonus: all of them are older than yesterday). Even manual pull to refresh doesn't seem to fix that.

Also is it just me or with iOS 13 is it now really hard to trigger the url... whatever the hell the thing is called that shows up when you long press a url that shows you its longer form above where you pressed? It seems super excited to select text instead which is not what I want. Assuming that's even something you can control.

I’m also seeing tweets open in safari regardless of the setting. Also would it be possible to have them open in Tweetbot instead? Maybe too niche a feature though.

I think that’s a new one to me, though there’s been weirdness around sticky threads in the past. And that was relatively un-confusing hehe.

I need a way to check my ignore list from the app.

Anyway we can get a different error warning for that particular case so we know what’s going on?

I can +1 allowing editing the ignore list! I’ve also thought about a button for this particular issue that would also remove the user being complained about.

If you can link a couple posts that work differently, I’d love to see it. Maybe the links are different somehow, or the post markup is different?

Yeah, bookmarking an archived thread appears to work (I think if you do it via the website it seems to work too, like you don’t get an error message or anything) but doesn’t actually stay there. I’ll +1 it on the list. It wouldn’t be too hard to keep it bookmarked locally on device, but I have dreams of syncing bookmarked archived threads between devices too.

PM thing is a good catch, I’ll add it to the list!

Not sure how much we can do about the long press text thing. We use a web view to render posts, so we can control the markup and styles that we feed in but it’s not always clear how to coerce changes in things like text selection. So it’s in the "probably technically possible but no idea how painful it might be" camp. But I’ll but it on the list!

Hey pokeyman, Is there a way to send you a few bucks to the Awful app development and to appreciate your work and time? You should add PayPal donation button or IAP or something like that.
I spent so much Euros on lovely apps while using Awful on iOS since several years for free.

Nope! The exchange for it being free is I get to ignore y’all without guilt for arbitrary amounts of time. Maybe treat yourself to a spiffy new avatar or something and call it a Forums donation in the name of Awful :)

Tweets with sufficiently long poster names will introduce a horizontal scrollbar. They get visibly cut off at the border but the layout engine apparently uses the full length of the text to decide the width of the “page”. No idea if you can do anything about that, either, but figured I’d pass it on just in case.

I have the same experience just trying to read a thread. Upgraded to iOS 13.1.3 and moved to a new phone, press any bookmarked thread and it just takes the unread count to 0 and locks up. Tried uninstall/reinstall to no effect. Also when I logged back into the app (with iOS dark mode and SA dark mode) it appears the letters I typed were showing up as white text on white background. Help?

Trolling Link for a decade


Upgraded to iOS 13.2 and I can call up bookmarks and forums, but as soon as I select a thread it doesn't open it, all it does is mark everything read and stays locked in the list of bookmarks. Can't do anything after that and the app effectively is locked.

Only force quitting works after that, but if I relaunch same thing happens..

Just saw this, sounds like the same exact symptoms on 13.2. On a plain jane 11.

Found a fun new piece to my longstanding "scrollthumbs disappear when thread gets rerendered, but only sometimes!" issue! So I've been using the old dark modes on my Awful.app and I've now seen (and just now screenshotted) that the scrollthumbs actually ARE present, just the wrong color! See:

The scrollthumb is in fact still there but black, as if the page background is white, so it's only visible on top of an already-read post there. I also first saw the hiding scrollthumb outside of the yospos theme (although only visible on top of an already-marked-as-read post too).

iphone 11 pro. Updated to 13.2, deleted and reinstalled the app, same behavior:

- Clicking on a thread with unread posts decrements the unread post count by a page’s worth of posts, or if less than a page of posts was unread, the count goes to zero. The thread however does not open and the app freezes.
- The next time I open the app, the thread is now open to that page but the app is frozen.
- Depending on the mix of iphone dark mode and app dark mode, that open page is blank

I miss the app :(
