I have not had this experience with the Leper's Colony tab, since that's not exactly the same thing as a Rap Sheet.

BUT, I do hate when I check out a punishment and it's from a bookmarked thread and it updates my bookmark.

Oh poo poo. I'm not on the test flight yet, and I'm using OLED dark and I've noticed a lot of UI text and the page numbers/arrows are now sometimes black on black, that's probably what's happening

I'm gonna hop on the test to see if it's still happening

Edit: on test now, still no text on them

Is there any way to sort bookmarks alphabetically? What's the default sort?

Iirc it’s by most recent posts and you can toggle it to have threads with unread posts above ones that are fully read. Doesn’t always behave that way but I’m not super sure why/how that is.

Just the other day I was thinking that I'd like a way of organizing bookmarks into categories. Whatever you think the appropriate amount of bookmarks is, I'll always have more.

In the new dark mode the post numbers on read threads in forum view are always dark gray even if there are new posts which makes them nearly impossible to notice while scrolling down a forum. I don't know if it would be some huge aesthetic crime but I wouldn't mind the threads having a colored background if they had new posts. SALR does it pretty well.

Not sure which colors you're referring to, but I simply have a ton of bookmarks. Most of those are fairly active threads which I go to a frequently. Those show up at the top, which is obviously fine. But there are also a lot of "low priority" threads that keep popping up at the top even though I only (want to) read them every once in a while.

Having the option to somehow separate those two types of bookmark would be great for my use case, but I understand that that's probably not how the vast majority uses bookmarks. I expect building such a feature with a reasonable UX to be a nightmare anyway.

Oh, that actually helps with my problem. Just found a bug, though: when I set a thread to blue and refresh, it not only shows as green, but the setting also 'properly' changes to green.

Edit: I realized that naming the colors doesn't make sense given that the amount of color schemes. It's basically any color past the third that gets moved up one on refresh (i.e. you choose color #4 and end up with #5). Indexing issue maybe?

I tested this and same deal, off-by-one error for anything past red and yellow. Those two work correctly, everything else shifts one right on a refresh (and then stays there)

The sorting by unread posts is done client side after the pagination which is server side so it can only apply within a single page.

Commie kong’s explanation of text sizes might be helpful to people with this issue, in case you missed (though probably doesn’t remove your benefit in providing feedback)

commie kong posted:

Just wanted to explain a few things:

2) On font sizes, particularly the thread view page count: fair enough. I'll bump that up. It was actually even smaller during beta and has been bumped up, but will do so again even more. That's easily done by theme properties (tho we have to use offset values to do it, which I'll explain below).

Some of the other sizes have changed slightly, but that's because hardcoded font sizes were used in some places. The size offset change was done to make these text elements adjustable per theme while also improving dynamic text support. The hardcoded fonts did not respect your iOS dynamic text settings at all. Now it does and some additional work was done so that people using the smallest / largest possible dt system settings don't make their copy of this app look too crazy. We removed the extremes based on beta feedback.

Since we aren't using set font sizes for things any more, we have to use offset values. That means we use one of the Apple defined styles and then make it bigger or smaller based on a positive or negative number. And the affect that has depends on your device and dynamic type settings. Which makes things a bit trickier, so sorry about that.

Awful is essentially page scraping and it has to load the page first. So, yeah, it’s because it has to download all the images first.
