myron cope: Apr 21, 2009

Ok I found a weird bug, but I don't know exactly how it's happening.

It involves me loading a thread, reading the posts in it, going back to bookmarks and then refreshing the bookmarks. After I do that, I'll SOMETIMES see one of my bookmarks transform into a copy of another of my bookmarks. I took a screenshot:

The second Seinfeld thread was actually the borderlands 2 pc thread. So it doesn't actually replace the bookmark, it just shows up wrong.

This was happening last night, but I thought I was too tired and just imagining it. It doesn't seem to have anything to do with what thread I just loaded (I was in the freep thread just before this happened, not the Seinfeld one). Maybe it's something to do with new posts that happened between refreshes? The Seinfeld thread is at the top there.

(I'm on whatever the latest test version is unless you pushed a new one between midnightish last night and now, I haven't checked my email yet)

E: after posting this and then refreshing bookmarks:

E2: not to spam the thread with screenshots, but after the next refresh:

Only posting because TWO threads showed up wrong there.

Got the bookmark fix update. Now I'm seeing this sometimes:

Seems to be related to new posts being posted between refreshes. Refreshing again fixes it. Edit: scrolling also seems to fix it

Also (unrelated), in the popup menu to post an image, the arrow to go "from camera" (to the right) needs hit twice before it works.

I've found the Nitpick to End All Nitpicks: when text is on the last visible line in the post box, a correction popup will come up under the keyboard. Like this:

I don't know if it's just related to the (awesome awesome) shortcut bar or if it's always been that way.

E: actually is there a way to get it to ignore stuff in bbcode brackets? It's trying to correct s to a, and i to I (which is fine, but unnecessary). Maybe I can only do that myself (on my device I mean)

While the little correction window pops up, I believe (just going off of personal experience here) that typing a square bracket with the suggestion up makes it ignore its suggestions and cancel the autocorrect. I can't tell if I'm doing a really bad job of explaining this, but if you just close the bracket it should go away.

Hm, I've tried just ignoring it but when I hit the space bar it auto-corrects anyway. Sometimes, at least.

Anytime I try to jump back to the first page of a post, the app crashes.

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*

*i think it's been fixed but...maybe not?

Is it possible to have some kind of notice when the forums aren't loading? I am at school and apparently SA is blocked. I auto-joined their wifi and when I loaded up Awful all of my bookmarks just disappeared entirely. I figured out what the problem was but I'm just wondering if the app could maybe say "hey it's not my fault, the forum itself isn't loading!"

Can't reply in threads. It says it's replied and goes to reload the thread, shoots you to the top of the last page with all posts marked read.

When opening a thread with unread posts, it starts me at the first unread post but colors all posts as read.

Same for me on both.

I now have the option for post editing, but posting still does not function. I've tried a few times, tried edits. Still effective read only on the build you just released.

Still seeing this too. Can't post. I haven't tried editing (I'll try on this post)

E: editing doesn't work, option is there.

Posting works again, but it looks like some form of the "posts being marked read" thing from before is back. If I'm in a thread and hit the arrow or pull to load the next page, they're marked read. If I load from bookmarks they aren't.

Also I got two crashes in a row when reloading bookmarks.

I have no idea if that is in any way useful. It loaded the bookmarks, I went to a thread, came out, refreshed, crashed.

I'm getting crashes while viewing some profiles (only a few). It's in the NHL n/v thread that I've seen so far. The last page, when viewing "thehustler" profile, it opens the profile screen but crashes before I can see anything. This is the crash:

This is the thread: http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3531553&perpage=40&pagenumber=134 I haven't seen it in other threads (yet)

Also when viewing Dr Zaius profile (someone said the avatar was terrible and I wanted to see it). I don't know if it's the same crash.

(It's the same crash to my untrained eye)
Is there any easy way to copy text from system console? Goddamn it's annoying

And last edit, seems to be the poster not the thread. I found a Dr Zaius post in another thread and it still crashed

The Facebook app does this really cool thing where you can swipe up on a full screen image and it will close the image. I keep finding myself doing it in awful, realizing it doesn't work and then tapping "done". Can you add it?

I kept meaning to ask this here but kept forgetting.
