Awful 1.10 just dropped in the App Store. This new keyboard addition is nice.

I upgraded to 1.10...gray screen, gray screen, crash.

iPhone 4S, iOS 6.0.1. I guess I'll try deleting and reinstalling.

EDIT: well, maybe a full reboot first. 1.10 seemed to take forever in the "installing" space, so maybe the transition of my data didn't go so well.

EDITx2: full reboot seems to have worked.

I'm still seeing some odd behavior with bookmarked threads:

1) When viewing a bookmarked thread, I am given the option to bookmark the thread rather than to unbookmark it; and
2) When going back to the list, the previously viewed bookmarked thread tends to end up in a random spot in the list.

Not critical by any stretch, but I thought those were fixed in 1.10?

No, unfortunately the forums changes that caused this bug were made after 1.10 was already submitted. They'll be fixed in 1.10.1.

I believe that is fixed in 1.10.1, which basically pokeyman was waiting for 1.10 to get approved, then put in the request for 1.10.1 (so he'll probably do that today), just so 1.10 would get out and not potentially double the wait to upgrade from 10.9.

loving app store.

The yospos themes are amazing. Can I suggest adding the barber pole progress bar, stopwatch, or spinning black and white wheel to the "loading unread posts" screen for macinyos? Thanks for all your hard work.

Thanks for putting the permanent sidebar back in! It's great on the iPad in Landscape mode.

Could you please change the hidden-avatar mode to use less space and put all the "meta-information" into the header of the posting like the current iPhone and old iPad version does it?

Right now the new version just hides the avatar but it doesn't change the layout at all, which results in a little bit of wasted screen real estate and a lot of very strange line breaks.

Well there's an all around new iPad layout mocked up that hopefully can just squeeze into the next release instead. Diabolik900 made it and it's the best iPad layout yet.

To clarify, "the next release" in this case is not really the next release since it definitely won't be in 1.10.1.

And time will tell if this new layout is really that great. I thought the last two were great when they were just mockups, but not so much when they were actually functioning templates.

New version seems to have an issue with ignored users. I updated my iPad and kept crashing when I would try to pull up a thread in my bookmarks with one reply from an ignored user. It doesn't matter how I got to the thread, bookmarks or forum navigation, both caused crashes. I had to load it on my phone to figure out what was going on. After that, I updated my phone and saw that it did the same thing. Not sure if this is because it's there weren't other replies to load or if it's just all ignored users.

Diabolik900

Well that is one way to ignore a user.

Edit: Just tested, and I'm seeing the same thing. I've honestly never ignored someone so I'd never seen this before. It definitely doesn't matter if there are replies after the ignored user.

Nobody else commented on this so I'll just throw out that this is occurring to me too.

One more thing is that if you're typing on the bottom line of the reply box whenever autocorrect comes up with a suggestion it's now sitting behind the new [=:/] keys.

Testing out the new keyboard stuff - :lol:. Does it work???

This app is getting better and better, it's tough to go back to the regular forums on a PC after using this so much. It's just so much more streamlined!

E: the only request I have is a way to view smileys. Either in the options page, or a popup on the keyboard thing. I imagine this has probably come up before, so just tossing my name into the hat.

On the title issue, I had it mess up recently when I went from a thread to the in-app browser, watched a Youtube video, then came back to the forums. The title label had been squashed down to only one character wide, as below. This was with the latest (as of last week sometime) code from Git.



Are Diabolik900's new iPad designs available for a sneak peek anywhere?

Not really yet. The Dave, Pokeyman and I have discussed it a bit over the last few weeks, and the direction we're looking at going with it is making it more like the iPhone design. All I've done so far is make a quick wireframe of how I envisioned it, and The Dave has been working on mocking up what it will actually look like. I don't know that it's really ready to show off publicly yet.

So I just noticed that when opening a bookmarked thread it no longer shows the last read post first, but I can't remember whether or not this was the case in the previous version too. Maybe it's been gone for a while and I never noticed. Either way I liked that feature so is there any chance that it could come back? I think it was in the settings menu before.

I took it out a couple versions ago because we made it super fast to load the old posts. Scroll up a bit then tap the "previous posts" button to see what I mean.

Although I appreciate the in-app browser, I'd appreciate a toggle to instruct the app to always open in Safari, instead (or a selectable app of choice), if that's doable, please.

You can long-tap links and open in Safari from there, is that close enough?

Can you make the app punch lovely posters over the Internet? Not a serious request by the way, just trying to see if I can force grey bar of doom since its been over 4 days since I've seen it but posting has been down by me during this time. last two times I got it they cleared themselves a little later. Don't know if you added error handling in but if so it seems to be working great.

The new test version is great so far.

When I tap and hold a link it brings up the list of options (Safari, Chrome, etc.) like I would expect. If I open something in the awful browser and then click the button in the right hand corner to open it elsewhere Safari is the only option. It would be nice to be able to pick Chrome there as well.

Great work overall :)

Just reporting it in case no one else has.

Otherwise, this continues to be a terrific app. Thanks!

I'm not seeing it, although I am on the latest test version. Loading a bookmarked thread, hitting "first" in the popup, scrolling to 1 and hitting "jump to page", and trying it in a non-bookmarked thread. Maybe try logging out and logging back in*

Can you check which version of Awful (in the Settings tab) and iOS (Settings app, General, About) you're using for me? I haven't seen that happen before.

Are there, perchance, any ignored users' posts on that first page you're trying to load?
