They break (and Twitter itself refuses to load images) whenever I use a VPN. Could that be the issue?

I don't think it's Awful

Ohhhhh poo poo they work? Not on a vpn...

Edit: wait wtf my setting for it was turned off which Is something I’d never do. Weird.

That’s copying the URL for the page, not the image, I think.

You’d be correct. Gotta check the direct link option for the imgur portion of the shortcut. Also it turns out that you can roll your own shortcut flows in my work policy so that’s nice.

If SA's not quite dead, I'd like to suggest a minor feature for Awful. Would it be a lot of work, and something others don't mind, to make pressing the bookmarks button when already viewing bookmarks scroll the page to the top? Just a way to make refreshing the tab more convenient.

I’d just like to second this idea if it’s feasible, as it seems handy if you have a long bookmark list.

For me it's a question of comfort, especially with a larger screen. YouTube and Twitter and probably others work this way.

Yeah, I think we added re-tap-refresh to the FB app when the first big phone screens started to happen. Would you want it to refresh, or just scroll?

If you're not at the the top of the list: scroll to top
If you are at the top of the list: refresh?

The iOS 14 beta was telling on Awful saying it was accessing the clipboard when you have something there. Don’t know if there is a bug or other reason but does it specifically need to read the clipboard when you swap back and forth?

Is that tied to the feature where it can load a thread that's on your clipboard?

It’s toggleable in setttings if you don’t use the feature and the prompts are annoying. We might have to start defaulting to Off because complaints will be coming once iOS 14 releases.

I think 14 also added an API that will actually let you check if the clipboard contents match some pattern before reading it, so theoretically Awful could ask iOS if it’s an SA url and then only actually read it if that check comes back true.

Well we use imgur urls too for stuff.

Is setting per app or a global one?

I’m talking specifically about when Awful automatically reads your clipboard when you open the app, not when a user manually tells it to paste. Only SA urls are relevant there.

Small request and not super important, but can the app pass on the &noseen=1 tag from the Lepers Colony URLs? Not a high priority thing obviously.

If you have a bookmark for a thread in a forum you want to check out, you can open that thread and then click the “parent forum” button at the top and see the forum that way.

But the forum list is lost.

I can’t fix what I can’t reproduce and don’t understand. As soon as it happens to me I can try to figure it out but right now I don’t have the time to teach myself every line of code and try to guess how it might be going wrong with no ability to check.

The website should still work from your phone. If it doesn’t that would be very interesting.

It is really weird that I can get to individual forums with the parent forum link. I can also add bookmarks from the web and see them in my bookmark list. But really I exist in a handful of threads so it’s livable for now.

Can I help troubleshoot somehow?

Is it perhaps an issue with the FaceID style layouts vs the older TouchID etc? I think maybe all the complaints in the thread so far (including Fool of Sound's screenshot, and mb someone else's phone specification too) have been from iPhone X and similar, not iPhone 8 and similar.

This'll be easy to disprove if it's not the case, too! I haven't experienced this issue, and I've got an iPhone 8+.

My iPad lost the forums list. My iPhone 11 Pro Maxxxx whatever still has it. Both are up to date and are configured the same way except for the dark mode option.

I guess I could uninstall and reinstall awful on my iPad?

Mine has been doing this for weeks.
Someone above my original post about it discussed working around the issue by bookmarking a thread in each forum you want to visit. In my case (and theirs), bookmarks are still visible, and the parent forum buttons are accessible from there. It is a cumbersome workaround, though.
Same weird authentication issue discussed above, too. It won’t let me log in, but quitting and relaunching lands me in a logged in state, even though the app tells me it refuses the credentials.

Are we talking about being able to browse non-bookmarked threads?

I can browse through them no problem. No having to do all this "parent" stuff.

I have an XS Max, iOS 13.5.1, Awful 4.3 to add a data point.







Apologies if I'm misunderstanding and Kramer'd in on a different issue.
