There needs to be a way to push "fixes bug that renders app near-useless" updates ahead in the queue of "add 15 levels to angry birds" updates.

Bookmarks and pages are working great here! Can I turn thread tags back on now? Or is that not fixed til the next patch?

Random tiny nitpick. On the "jump to page" menu, can you make it so the actual jump to page button says "cancel" or "return" until you move the page selection dial? Every so often I'll accidentally open that window and I'll forgot how to properly close it until I remember to just hit "jump to page" while selecting the current page. Other than that, no complaints about the app. Thanks for all your hard work!

pokeyman posted:I have two questions about this request. How would a period key help you type out links? And does your keyboard not have a period key already? You can double-tap space to insert a period, but then you have to backspace once to bring the cursor back to where it needs to be to continue typing a URL. and yeah, there's a separate period key, but its behind the button press that takes you to a numbers/symbols/punctuation menu.

Something I've noticed lately is that I've been having trouble loading threads on 3G. Sometimes it works, sometimes it just loads forever and I have to back out to my bookmarks list and go back in.

I've accidentally fat fingered it several times and have been forced to rewrite the whole post several times. Seconding this. If there's any text in the reply field, it'd be nice to have to confirm backing out.

I have the forums set so that when people quote me, my post shows up green. For a while, the app followed suit, but now it does not, and I don't believe that I changed any options on either end. Any suggestions?

For what it's worth, I've used the updated app for about an hour each on 3G and wi-fi and have not noticed any slow loading or anything. Seems just as it was pre update.

My PIN is 4826 posted:I have a tiny ui suggestion if you're open for it: could you make it so that for example tapping the bookmarks button at the bottom of the screen causes scrolling to the top if the bookmarks screen is already on? It gives the button a function other than just showing that it's activated, too! Seconding this, sounds dead useful.

ellspurs posted:I have had this happen the last two times that I have updated this app. Instead of reinstalling it, all I have done is activated the switch between apps menu (double click button at bottom on iphone/swipe up with four fingers on iPad), killed it in there, and then just restarted it fine. No need to reinstall the app. That fixed it for me for the last update, but the most recent one from yesterday required a reinstall for me.

Any word on a iOS 7 compatibility fix? I'm very tempted to install the beta, and Awful not being compatible is quite possibly the only thing keeping me back.

Calling it now, I'm donating 10 cents to charity for every time I crash Awful while running the iOS7 beta. It's remarkable stable (the beta and Awful itself) but there are a few things that reliably cause a crash, and I'm sure I'm gonna break it more in the future.

Most recent update shuffled the contents of the "..." menu. I keep hitting "quote post URL" since that button is where "quote" used to be. Is this an error? And will it be fixed in the next update?

I've been having an issue lately where I'll get a error code 1005 (connection lost) and when I go back and try to load the thread again, all posts are marked as read even though I never got to see the new ones due to the connection lost error. Is there a way to make sure Awful only marks posts as read once they actually been displayed?

pokeyman posted:Not really, thought I empathize. What I think is happening is the connection gets lost after requesting a page of posts but before they finish downloading. As soon as SA gets that request for a page it updates the "last read" marker. Happens 5 or 6 times over the course of a few minutes, then goes away for half an hour or so. Happens on wifi and 3G, but seems more common on 3G. Haven't noticed much other network weirdness, but I haven't been looking much either.

Oof, I like the general look-and-feel of the new app, but there are some pretty bad growing pains. -can't access bookmarks past page 1 -post counts are suddenly orange for some reason -text size selector is missing (or hidden somewhere that I can't find) -spacing between posts seems to have been increased; feels like there's a lot more empty space on pages (may just be my perception due to the new look) I gotta say, things are loading more smoothly though, or at least they seem to be. Props for all the backend work.

nwin posted:2) any way to change the font size? Font size is now tied to the phone-level "Text Size" option (Settings -> General). So in order to adjust text size, you have to leave the app; not very good if you want to do it on the fly. Another case of the app losing inherent-functionality in the name of iOS 7 integration.

My big thing with font size is I liked to change on the fly. When I'm reading the forum at night when I'm laying in bed, I like to turn the font size up a bit so it feels less like I'm straining my eyes. During the day, using the white theme, I turn it down again. If I'm stuck in traffic and not moving, I crank the font size up and read a post or two before the traffic light changes, etc. Now, instead of just hitting a button in the app, I have to exit the app, go a couple levels deep into system settings, make a change, go back to the app, possibly have to go back to settings if I decide to tweak the size higher or lower, and then finally I can read in comfort. App functionality was removed in favor of integrating with OS-level features.

Mahoning posted:Yeah, this. So we shouldn't voice our concerns? How will they know what we desired changed/reverted if those of us who are displeased don't make our opinions known here in the thread. If this thread is meant to be for thank yous and compliments and other positivity, I can make my issues known via PMs to the devs instead, but to suggest that end users are not allowed to voice concerns is absurd.
