Any idea what you did just before it happened? How do you show/hide the menu? Swipe? The top left button? Where yo rotating your iPad?

I swiped and I did it a few times in quick succession but can't reproduce it.

The biggest problem I would like fixed is reading a thread and all of a sudden getting bumped back to the top because the app has finally finished loading all of the images.

I think we'll just permanently disable that "feature" unless it starts working perfectly.

Though honestly I'm not sure what "work perfectly" means. Which is its own problem.

This is a thing that I have absolutely no idea what to do about and cannot reproduce, and I hope it will never happen again once I get rid of stupid split view controllers.

How about swipe to hide threads you don't want to ever see, and I guess an option in settings to "reset hidden threads"?

This is one of those good ideas I would never have thought of because I wouldn't use it myself. Thanks.

So is Awful S II MAXX the SA app to get till the new app based on OHIO's code is out then?

I only ask because I'm currently using it and it has some bugs with not displaying punctuation properly or at all.

When will pokeyman's Awful app be released?

Does this mean portrait mode will look / function differently or are split view controllers just a technical term for something?

Maybe use both? They each do some things better.

As soon as it bloody well gets accepted to the App Store. It was just rejected a second time, this time because the reviewer stumbled upon TCC. (First time was for it being possible to buy an account without using In-App Purchasing by clicking around the login screen.) Should be able to get this one sorted quickly, though it's the weekend so then again probably not.

The iPad interface uses a built-in chunk of code called UISplitViewController. The plan is to replace it with something else, as well as swapping out the tab bar in iPhone, for something functionally quite similar. I just curse at the split view controller because it does weird poo poo like the bug I quoted.

This happens to me all the time but only seems to happen with orientation locked (I stay locked in portrait mode). Unlocking and rotating or clicking in succession through the tabs that aren't blacked out usually fixes it.

Is TCC visible to unregistereds? Or was just the name in the forum list enough to spook the apple reviewers? What's your plan for dealing?

I give them an account to use to review the app. They included a screenshot of the list of threads in TCC, and a screenshot of one of the threads itself talking about marijuana concentrate or some such.

Plan is to appeal the rejection. Awful is basically a web browser locked down to only visit the forums, so I don't see the big deal about having one small forum talk about drugs.

If it gets rejected again I wonder if you could remove the forum then add it in as an update and just hope they miss it.

Do you have to give them an account? It'd be funny if they could only see GBS and gently caress and poo poo and all that :)

I mean I know they have standards or whatever the hell, but I don't see how you can have any browser, including their precious Safari, if the standard is "you can see bad stuff on the internet"

Strength and speed, that's why you're a special agent.
And the fact that they've already approved at least three apps for this place makes no sway?

I did lower a couple ratings a bit when I removed the built-in web browser (though I didn't touch the one about drugs). Though the rejection didn't mention anything whatsoever about ratings so who knows.

Another minor bug. Easy to repro at least:

1. Pinch expand to go into full screen mode.
2. Open a photo in full screen mode.
3. Go back and you have the bottom bar but not the top one.

I don't think anything uses a pinch gesture in the version that might one day get to be in the App Store but keeps being rejected.

What do you expect or want the pinch gesture to do?

Yeah, I called it "pinch expand." I'm not sure what the official term is, the gesture where you zoom in.

To be honest, I don't use the feature except by accident.

Yeah, I thought the app was bugging out on me the first couple times the navigation bars disappeared. I had no idea what happened, and the only way to get them back was to force kill the app and restart. :eng99:

Then I read the Awful thread and became educated.

I bought ad free a couple of days ago because of the skimpily dressed ladies made it look like I was doing something odd in public. It's nice to not have them but how does it increase the viewing area at all?! They only show up at the very bottom of the thread.

Er, perhaps I am misremembering then. I thought they were below the controls and always visible but now that I think about it I do not think they were. Carry on!

Never bring a duck to a cock fight.
In case anyone's curious about the annoying sexy lady ads that go to random Amazon pages:

Supposedly, the sexy ladies get you to click and then bring you to Amazon, where the person who bought the add will stick a "referred by" cookie in your browser so the next time you buy something from Amazon with that browser, the person who bought the ad gets credit from Amazon. If you click on it in Awful, it won't work to my knowledge, unless you decide to make your purchase from the Awful built in browser for whatever reason...

Two things: I thank you for the clarification of the pinch gestures. Apparently they do not work on iPad (due to plenty of real estate).

Second, I have bought No-Ads but yet still see the sexy chicks in both Awful and Maxx apps (I do not use the iPhone apps).
