this happened to me for a week about a month ago. I wound up trying everything but it wasn't until I did a system restore that it started working.

I have Verizon and it was only on their cell network, and it was just imgur images broken.
This just started happening to me the last week or so. Works fine at home but on Verizon LTE pics dont load. They always have before though.

I havent tried a system restore or anything like that.

Note the middle thread there. Also find and read it if you haven't already, it's some good forums poo poo. Anyway, it was originally in A/T but got moved to E/N for reasons that are apparent if you read it, but in Awful it still shows its old "ask" badge.

Not sure if even worth fixing TBH but hey.

That's hilarious. When scraping the Forums' HTML I lean heavily towards only using info I can find on the page, and if I can't find something on the page I don't update it. So if I can't find, say, the "Ask" tag on a thread (because it's not in Ask/Tell), I err towards leaving the existing tag alone.

Clearly this scenario never occurred to me! Good find, I'll make a note, maybe it'll get fixed, maybe not.

note: I followed that up stating it was phonewide and not appwide. like subjunctive said check if pictures on imgur load in safari/chrome because they also weren't for me.





edit: was the bug where threads in the forum view wouldn't load past a certain page not fixed? thought I hadn't seen it in a bit but it's happening on beta 30309.

Update on the update: the smilie keyboard continues to punch above its weight, garnering two rejections from App Review so far. I think I'm confused about the terminology they use around keyboard extensions. Hopefully we can get it cleared up.

Should work after pulling to refresh. I didn't do anything yet to fix that bug.

I had to reinstall because when I opened the app I was trapped in a reply box for a non exsistant thread. Cancelling would crash the app to springboard. Hard resetting my phone or closed the app from the spring board never helped.

I'm still having a bitch of a time with the IMG option on the latest beta. I don't know the exact trigger yet, but I keep ending up with the wrong menu coming up when I tap [img] and it refuses to work properly until I kill the app and reload it from the multitasker.

That should be fixed as of version 3.3 (30309), is it still broken there?

That's a good point, I'll reword that. But yeah, log out then back in and you're all set. Or just wait and the app should log you out automatically, letting you log back in.

As best I can tell for the img issue, it seems to pop up after posting with images. Trying to quote afterward will make a mess of it. Let me try something real quick and see if it's reproducible.

And now if I tap img it should poo poo itself.

Yup. Tapping img brings up an entirely different menu with tags for url, img, format and video. Tapping img a second time does nothing. If I kill the app from multitasker and reload it, it will work fine until another image is posted. The cycle will then repeat.

What kind of option? Like you want to just insert that text with the cursor between the ][? If you have a copied YouTube URL and paste it in from the [video] menu it should paste like that.

Also, for what it's worth, there's been a version of Awful in various states of App Review since April 29. It's coming.

If the holdup continues to be the smilies keyboard, is it really worth it? It kind of scares me that there are that many people who are so invested in SA that they actually use the smilies outside of the forums and need access to them at all times on their phone, and I'd much rather just have an app that has regular bug-fixing updates than waiting while you try to identify and remove random smilies that apple deems offensive.

Of course maybe I'm wrong and the latest rejections have been non-keyboard related. It just seems like such an unimportant feature, while I'd like to be able to load the second page of a forum reliably.

pokeyman
Nov 26, 2006

That elephant ate my entire platoon.
The latest crop of rejections have been keyboard related, but not due to smilies deemed offensive.

The first rejection was a crash in the keyboard that I couldn't replicate, though I did notice that the way we were detecting whether "Full Access" was enabled had stopped working in iOS 8.3, so I fixed that and resubmitted.

Next it was rejected because the keyboard was apparently insufficiently functional when "Full Access" is disabled. The rejection reason was hilariously unclear so it took a couple more days to understand the issue and then fix it.

I then resubmitted on May 18. Haven't heard anything since. I assume they'll get back to me soon but who knows.

And it's set to release as soon as it's approved so y'all won't be waiting for me to wake up and push the button or whatever.

All that said, I'm with you. I've considered removing the custom keyboard extension many times, relegating it to in-app use only. I certainly won't promise that it'll survive through the next major version of Awful.

If I do take it out, I'd look into putting it in a dedicated app for those who want it. Then Awful proper doesn't have the keyboard guidelines getting it rejected.
