After a couple of minutes it did go. So I guess it's just waiting for the broken image to timeout.

It's really frustrating to have my text scaling settings randomly ignored, but it happens a lot! They were being ignored in a YOSPOS thread, so I came here to make a bug report and they're back to normal. Generally I can get it to start working correctly for a bit by going to settings and changing the value (or maybe just going to settings without changing the value?)

I've observed this happening when we're restored after some time in the background. I think the WebView preparation code isn't re-running correcting in that case, or something. Usually it goes away if I go to any other thread than the one that was loaded when I put Awful into the background. Does that match your experience?

Apropos which, I've just pushed a small change so that we will no longer inline the case where there is a link to a youtube video in a [url] with custom link text, to match the forum and not lose information in those cases. This is the third case in the above post.

I didn't go farther and make us also not inline the second case, which is a youtube link inside a [url] with default text, which the forums don't inline. The website requires use of [video], which we could just detect based on the presence of the class bb_video or whatever. I don't feel that strongly about matching the forum behaviour, and since we can copy the URL of embedded videos it seems like a harmless deviation, but if pokey feels otherwise then I can make that change instead.

Would it be possible to enable discord links like this to embed if they’re a supported file type? A quick workaround exists by having box installed so it’s not a pressing issue.

If any third-party app thing for some reason relies on the pages div existing but being empty (no pages), please alter your detection so it is equally happy if the pages div is not there to begin with.

Likewise if it relies on the top/bottom pages div classes; those are most likely going to go. It'll just have the class "pages".

Yeah that's off. Might be related to the image support? I'll add it to the list!

Did something change with the links for quotes? When I click a quote to go back to the linked post it’s not working correctly anymore. It looks like it goes to the latest unread post on the page instead.

It might be from my somewhat recent mucking with trying to jump to a particular post on a page? I'll make a note. May or may not be relevant, but what do you have "Mark posts on pages I've already seen in a different color" set to in your User Control Panel?

Ugly In The Morning posted:

The noseen=1 stuff has shattered some stuff when it comes to following quote/lepers colony links in a way that I’m having a hard time explaining because it breaks my brain. Basically it’ll make following quotes in a thread that has new unread posts do the unread posts instead, and hitting previous posts is broken. I haven’t been able to reliably replicate it and when it’s going on I’m too :psyduck: to really tell exactly what it’s doing.

Sounds similar to the above actually. Or maybe two different symptoms of some underlying think i broke? Anyway, it's on my list now!

BaldDwarfOnPCP posted:

Any thoughts towards adding user notes?

Only that it's occurred to me as a possibly useful feature. I'm certainly on board with the idea.

I've been thinking for awhile that the Profile and Rap Sheet modals should combine into a single tabbed modal, and that'd be a good spot to add a third tab for user notes. (Also, "user notes" is a less creepy name than "goons.xls", which is what I was calling this before.)

Could be a broken image. It's a bit of an art to figure out when the page has finished loading enough to drop the loading screen. Currently I think the strategy is to wait for everything in the markup proper to load (which includes images, but not iframes like embeds). Not sure that's the best strategy though. My goal is to avoid showing a half-rendered page and then have stuff start jumping around as images come in.

LuckyCat posted:

Ugh, I hate the pull to refresh stuff. You can use the thing built into iOS, which I think mostly works ok now but it looks as it looks. If you want any customization then it's full reimplementation time. Or find a library, but every library sucks in its own way. Anyway, will add it to my list!

Changing the setting will update the rendered posts (as will changing it and then changing it right back while still in Settings).

As mentioned, there's some known issues restoring from Awful being terminated, so if it seems to happen after you've been away from Awful for awhile (or been using a bunch of other apps in the meantime) that could be good to know. Regardless, it should Just Work, so lemme add it to the list!


Thanks! I think Awful handles a missing pages div ok, but I haven't actually tested that, so lemme make a note. Or if carry on then beats me to it, great!

I'm not sure what or when it happened but sometime in the last year every OS simultaneously decided to change how copy/paste would work when handling gifs. It will now only copy the frame instead of the entire gif. iOS, windows 10, OSX, you name it. It's real lame

Unless either a mod is willing to add those features for us or someone makes pokeyman IK we don’t even know what the HTML looks like for those features and wouldn’t be able to test them if we did, unfortunately.

A fun thing to suss out, but a low priority I’d imagine. I could see that being an issue on the web client, but I’d hope goons would know better than to install the app on their work phones. That’s not counting folks who wouldn’t want to see for others reasons though.


Btw, is the app inserting a space when pasting URLs intended behavior? It’s not really an issue, but I was curious why it did that.

This is going to be harder to fix than I thought, because the nodes we get back from nodes:matchingSelector in embedVideos seem to all be parented by the <body> of the document, so I can't find their containing posts to check. I could redo embedVideos to first find each post and then check for NWS before embedding contained videos, as probably the easiest path forward. What say you, pokey and carry?

Warbird posted:

Last I looked at that long ago the space was in the clipboard, so we'd have to detect URLs that were being pasted and trim training whitespace or something.
