It used to be in "Metadata Rejected" because the reviewer couldn't log in, because the Forums were down :(

So I take it there's an account for the reviewer. I'm curious, have they ever posted?

Now if they could actually log in, we could push the next version out :(

While images are loading in a thread the button on posts that lets you quote and copy urls and stuff doesn't work at all. There's no stop button like in a web browser so if say AT&T's great LTE service is taking five minutes to download a single image I'm kind of stuck waiting if I want to quote someone on that page. Could this be fixed?

E: the menu that shows up when you tap the arrow next to someone's name doesn't work while images are loading either.

you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack

The stop button is in the menu you get when you swipe up from the bottom of the screen. It's the one with a little picture of an airplane on it.

I think it happened to the Android guys when they tried to get in the Amazon Appstore way back when. Or maybe it was this app back in the Ohio days. My memory is shot.

It was Ferg actually, giving Amazon access to his account

Ferg posted:

So this annoys me, Amazon is currently reviewing the app and while I changed my password so that they could log in I explicitly asked them not to post with the app. OHIO just PM'd me wondering what was up with my shitpost in his iOS app thread, so I'm thinking they definitely did not read that instruction. Bullshit.

Ferg posted:

I considered that, but all they posted was gibberish (literally the message was quoting a random post and said "haljdfaxzzzy"). That's bannable if I were to let them loose with a dedicated account so it becomes a $10 submission fee.

Next update I will write very detailed instructions on what message to post to this exact thread, and I'll put the username/password at the end of the testing instructions to make sure they actually read it.

That happened with my app the first time I submitted it. I told them to post ONLY in the Project.Log thread. The first time I submitted they did. The second time they posted a random image and text in some GBS thread. It got banned eventually but it was a new account I made for it.

Now it's set up to be permanently banned, but since Windows testing is automated now no one actually uses it.

That's fantastic. I guess that's handy for testing how the app works when the user is banned?

I should probably test that out sometime.

Is there a way with the app to pull up archives (e.g. Going into Games and switching the year to 2001 to see all the threads from then) in the Awful app for the iPhone? I'm guessing no, so is this a feature that is planned or can even be implemented?

There is not currently a way to do it, but it is planned and I don't foresee any problem implementing it. Hardest part will probably be finding a sensible UI for it.

I'm basically thinking, gut reaction, if user has archives you split "Filter Posts" in half and have "Archives" on the other side. Tap it to bring up date picker. If we really want to emulate the forums we could change the navbar to the archives red, that might be ugggly though.

Diabolik900
Mar 28, 2007

I had basically the same initial thoughts. Red would be ugly, but there needs to be some indication that you're looking at archives, and not current threads. Even with the red coloring I've forgotten that I'm looking at archives several times already.

The Dave
Sep 9, 2003

Maybe we can just prefix everything in the navbar with a clock icon?

Diabolik900
Mar 28, 2007

I literally thought the exact same thing. The problems I see are that it would look like a button, and that the navbar is already crowded on the iPhone.

The solution to the first problem would be to actually make it a button to go back to the live forums. The second problem is trickier, but it's also a matter of opinion and I could possibly swayed to believe it's not actually a problem.

I'm not very convinced it's a useful setting. What were you using it for?

Ok. It's more the spacing that looks odd, I think. Maybe I'll get used to it.

The update does seem to have fixed post links showing the top of the page. It still does an odd jumping thing, though. The jumping now leads it to exactly the same post so it looks like a flicker.

There can certainly be a little padding added above and below the post content, arguably a better line height as well.

Sometimes I use a WiFi network that blocks forums.somethingawful.com but browsing through the IP works. It's no biggie, it just saves me a little on data.

That kind of functionality would be massively out of place in a forums-browsing app. You could use an existing app like Runkeeper though if you really need to do that stuff.

I'm getting used to the yospos font change, I think it's ok.
e: the line spacing is too tight though. I'm also not a big fan of the bright amber bar for parent forum/previous posts/scroll to end, it really doesn't look great next to the regular blue outer ui.

I note with disappointment however that the yospos loading screen is still displaying the anachronistic U+2026 ellipsis glyph rather than the correct sequence of three periods. I believe I already raised a ticket some time ago regarding this critical bug. Please escalate it, since I will have no choice but to demand a refund if this is not fixed promptly.
