Sorry if this has been posted before. But how can I save an image now?
When opening one I can only send it to another app, not just save it to my images? Using iphone SE with latest iOS.

You have to swipe up on the card now




It’s kinda annoying.

I should have figured that one out I guess.

The fact that saving an image instead of sharing it directly to contacts or opening it in an app looks much more important to me also makes me feel old.

You can at least rearrange the actions in that list, e.g. you could put it above “Copy” in the above screenshot.

I think whenever the scrollthumbs get hidden it always loses my place on the page too, instead kicking my view back up to the top after rerendering, if that helps. Also I have iOS 13 Dark Mode active, which may be related? (Like perhaps the page starts to rerender, the iOS Dark Mode and the Awful dark theme conflict/combine in some kind of weird codepath, and that causes the scrollthumbs to not be notified that they're appearing on a dark background?)

These are good thoughts, thanks!

Is it possible to make the swipe on the left of the screen to go back more accommodating? I find it much harder to trigger than in other apps.

Probably. I'm not sure what exactly is going on there, but it is on my list.

for the past week or so i've not been able to log in with this app on either my iphone 8 or ipad air, despite having no problem logging in via browser on those same devices. what's particularly weird is that i'm having the exact same issue with the android app on my galaxy s8 -- login failed, no matter how many times i put in the correct credentials. is there something screwy going on with the forums in general causing this, or is it something i can fix on my end? does a cache need to be cleared (which i've already tried on the android device but it didn't seem to help), or is there some other glaringly obvious solution i'm missing? any insight at all would be appreciated! :)

I doubt you're missing something, but it's weird that the Awful apps on both Android and iOS are seeing it. I'm guessing both apps do similar things to submit the login form, and maybe something got added to the login page that the apps aren't copying? All I can think of is some kind of "are you human?" check, but it seems like that wouldn't be part of the actual login request.

Anyway, I'll add it to my list just to keep it in mind, but I have no useful suggestions for you.

Tried the same steps above, no luck. Also tried letting the app hang for 30+ seconds but it did not crash to generate a report. I really do appreciate ya for responding to us lonely souls though, pokeyman, the app is very awesome and I look forward to being able to use it again eventually :)

Thanks for trying!

Good news: it's not every super long name. I wish I had noted down which post it was that I was able to reliably reproduce the problem with (hiding that post was fine, show previous posts added a scrollbar, etc.). But I think that one's name ended in an emoji so it's probably something horrible like the word separation algorithm behaving differently in that case or something.

Well that's something I guess! Appreciate the followup.

Also, the other day when the site was making GBS threads itself while posting, I wanted to quote two people so I hit quote on the first one and it worked normally, backed out, hit quote on the second, nothing happened immediately so I hit it again, then it loaded showing both quotes, and then a few seconds later (I assume once the "third" quote went through) the app crashed completely. I dunno if you have crash reporting enabled but even if you do I figured it might help to know how that happened.

Definitely helps, thanks!

I could swear that the thread zoom had a double tap or some other trigger to snap back to 1:1 but on this page it’s just not doing it:



Latest awful latest iOS— did just upgrade ro ios13, could it be related to that?

I think iOS 13 changed some viewport stuff, I'm getting weird zooming stuff all the time in Safari too. Not saying Awful is acting perfectly here, but yeah, something's up.

Golden Bee posted:

Why does turning my phone sideways sometimes re-orient text in a more pleasant manner, and sometimes open the forum menu?

Which phone? If it's sufficiently large then turning it sideways makes it work like on an iPad, with a split view between a sidebar and the current thread. There's a setting for whether you want the sidebar to always show or auto-hide. And it's possible (even likely) that there's some jankiness with the sidebar on iPhones.

Every time I update Twitter on iOS (13.1.3) the awful app loses the ability to open tweet links in the twitter app and instead uses safari. It usually take a few days to self-correct though

That is weird and annoying. Unfortunately I'm not sure Awful has much control over that. I do have "setting to choose Twitter app for opening tweet links" on my list, so maybe that'll help a bit?

A minor note that some company policies prevent the usage of third party shortcuts on iOS. I’d say still do it as it seems pretty reliable, but be aware that may be a pain point down the line.

Just for shits and giggles, updated to iOS 13.2.2, same results.

Deleted the app, rebooted the iPhone, downloaded again from the App Store, I get the same reversed background at the login page and app crashes whenever you select a board afterwards.

Maybe it's an A13 based issue since there was someone with an iPad who had iOS 13.2 who didn't crash? And the other guy who complained had an 11 Pro Max (I have ghetto 11 plain)

Same problem here. A11 based phone and nothing would load and just hang when you click on any board. Latest ios and awful app and tried multiple reinstall of app and login/clear cache too.

hey, thanks for the response! i still hadn't been having any luck with getting either of the apps to work, until earlier today when i finally tried something i probably should have done when this issue first started: i accessed the forums via web browser and changed my password, and inputting the new credentials in the app finally allowed me to log in. still no idea why it was having such a problem with my old password, but at least if this ever comes up again, or if by chance somebody else starts to have the same issue, there's a solution...? :shrug: who knows!

On iPad Pro 11, I am occasionally doing "something" that causes the page to scroll up to the top. Every time I think I figure out what I did, I can't reliably reproduce it.

What am I doing to make it do this and how do I make it stop happening? It's annoying to be 2/3 down a very long page and then something makes it scroll all the way back up and I have to find where the heck I was.

Ok this is a weird one.

I’m getting some weird text rendering issues on the iPad version.




It’s very subtle but the first line almost looks like it has a strike through. It’s made me do a double take a few times.

If I scroll up and then back the text is normal.

I haven’t seen it on the iPhone and it’s not super common on the iPad.

Looks like it might be dark mode on the newer ios devices with new screen size that's killing the awful app.

Testing it with the X and as if the screen stopped rendering properly while you can see the top of a second keyboard during login after reinstalling the app.

I love it when people itt out themselves as having blocked mods with this bug report lol

If anyone you have blocked becomes a mod or an IK, the block/unblock feature in the app doesn't work. I think because of how the forums' 1998 software updates your block list, it'll always error out because it thinks you're trying to block someone who's not blockable because it always submits your whole block list.

Not all the time definitely, no. Also I tested that, it was the first thing I tested, and it only seems to scroll up occasionally when I do that, definitely not reliably. And there definitely were times where that shouldn't have been touched unless my touchscreen is feeling phantoms.
