Yeah, it's been a thing for a while now and I figured it's something that was either tricky to fix or kept getting unfixed for some reason.

E: And I still have the bug where Awful won't load more threads when I get to the bottom of the page.

I thought this picture thing got fixed

Every time i try to post a photo it says "image upload too fast! -1"

Then afterward i can't even post images, tapping the img tag doesnnt pull up the "From Library" etc tags, just shows the same "img" option along the other markup codes, requiring me to close and relaunch the app

I've run into the forums not updating automatically as well. I tried to force quit the app and see if that fixed it but it didn't. A manual pull to refresh works.

The alternative is having it magically refresh under you while scrolling when you switch back to the app. I actually think having refreshes always be manual is the clearest and best thing.

Another option is to refresh postcounts automatically but not reflow the threads in the list except on manual refresh.

Then you have something that is neither the new state nor the old. If you use unread-at-top (which you should, what are you some kind of barbarian, c'mon) then you'd also end up having threads with new posts floating below the fold in the sea of zeroes. I don't think having to-the-minute post counts alone is that valuable, personally.

Threads were being refreshed normally before the update. I had an issue a while ago where I had to manually refresh threads but that was fixed a while ago. Right now it's a little weird. Manually pulling to refresh works. I've also found that switching from bookmark tab to forum tab (or vice versa) will also trigger a refresh.

Actually just tried switching tabs and it didn't work but it did before. This is an odd one.

Just noticed that the share sheet has gone AWOL in 3.3 when you press and hold on a link. You now just get three options to open link, copy link, and something else I've forgotten. I don't remember reading that this was planned so I figured it's one for the list!

Yeah, we decided showing which URL you were acting on was more valuable than waiting for the system share sheet to load. If you want that share sheet now, you gotta open it in the Awful Browser and use the share button in there.

I guess we could add a "share" option right there. We're not exactly hurting for space.

Yep. When this happens, just head to the App Store and re-download Awful. It'll just go over top, and you'll still get a notification when the next beta goes out. It's a bit of a pain but hey, you signed up to test :D

No, they should be available in all forums if you turn them on in settings. That's definitely a bug if they're not.

Edit: Just confirmed, the Forum-Specific Themes menu seems completely broken. AmberPOS doesn't show up in it, and none of the ones I select are available.

I love the app i've been using it for ages, but even on my iPhone 5s and iPad 3 gift threads [such as PYF threads] grind the pages to a halt. Yet in Safari they load up fine; not sure if anyone else has mentioned this in this thread, but I thought i'd ask as to why? I know gifs are meaty files, but it's weird how Safari loads them up fine.

Developer punishment for looking at PYF?!

Similar to the above, here's something for the list: an option to disable embedded youtube videos and/or convert them to links. I tried to test a change using the PYF 30sec videos thread, but all the embeds brought the app to its knees and often crashed it even on an iPhone 6.

That's a forum option. I guess there's an argument to allow mobile viewing to control it separately, but in the absence of that you can just turn off embedded videos in your profile.

Really not digging the manual reload of forums thing. :(

Also speaking of heavy gifs that make Awful grind to a halt, is a "tap to play" feature at all possible? Like, any gif file would just be a still of the first frame with maybe some small visual indicator that it's a gif file on it that you could tap to play/freeze the animation. If possible, would that be less resource heavy than the way it is now?
