Wow without the ad banners on the iPhone 5 the viewing area seems huuuuuuuge now.

Definitely a worthy purchase.
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.

If you're taking feature requests, I'd love customisable font/font size and the ability to sort your bookmark tab to have threads with new posts first (SALR style). Are those at the very least feasible?

Edit: Awful's working great. The gamer.txt thread has no image though whereas before it did.

Nice to be rid of that annoying frog.

Edit2: It has some odd looking animation when refreshing. I assume you're aware of it?

I noticed this too, but it's much better in the newer versions, so please be patient.
Ah thanks, will do. :f5:

Feature request - Dark mode throughout the app when it's enabled. It's fantastic for late night SAing and it's annoying when your eyes get blasted by the white of the thread list. It's the epitome of first world problems but is something that could be done? I'd sure appreciate it :) As would others I assume.

A weird one: I was trying to use the format shortcut you guys built in when I was typing a reply, but every time I clicked on it (I was trying to use italic formatting, if it matters), it closed that menu and jumped back to the top of my post without inserting the tags. Now when I try it here, it does the same thing as soon as I press "format".
How weird, it was working fine for me and now it's doing the exact same thing.

Random very low priority feature request: iCloud syncing of favorites and settings!

I'd love to see that somewhere down the line but I can see there's much more pressing and essential upgrades that take priority.

Streaming on WiFi would be great too, like Tweetbot. Where the thread list just constantly updates while you're viewing it.

I'm trying not to implement any features that automatically poll the server too often. Twitter provides streaming APIs, which is what I imagine Tweetbot uses.

Fair enough. Would an option to auto refresh when leaving a thread be feasible? That's what I end up doing anyway so it'd be cool if it was seamless.

Edit: We need the cool new IOS 6 refresh animation as well :P

Curious though. You find the grey between posts jarring, did you find the big blue poster info bar jarring?

I'd personally prefer if it was black with dark mode on but I don't mind the grey. It'd be great if the post window had a dark background in dark mode as well.

An Instapaper like sunset mode would be fantastic. Set your timezone and it's light during the day and goes to dark mode at night.

I had to use the Imgupr app to upload that photo as well. The built in uploader wouldn't open.

Sorry for the wall of text but this is my second most used app and I'd love to see it get even better.

I honestly don't use dark mode in any other apps, but I've taken to it in Awful 1.9.
I exclusive use dark mode if there's a choice. Just more comfortable on my eyes.

Not sure if he's submitted it to Apple yet, but Pokeyman finalized 1.9 some time yesterday.
Good to hear. Is the post window black in dark mode now? I remember it being brought up (I think my me) and added to 'the list'.
Really appreciate all your hard work Pokeyman.

Edit: Are you two testers by the way? Or is there someway to get 1.9 early I'm unaware of.

You can't bookmark an archived thread.

Ah, never mind then. The main reason was I finally started watching Heroes recently. I'm up to season 4 and it's started getting pretty ridiculous. I was going to read the thread up until the point the next episode aired, guess that's not really possible without bookmarks.

The Dave posted:

I actually forgot that I have archives.

Would there really be hoops to go through to just add them to the end of the forums list?

That would be great :D

Not really the place to ask but I don't suppose there's still an active Heroes thread? I don't have platinum so I can't search.

You can just click the previous posts button. It works really well, keeps your place if you've just entered a thread and that way you can pick and choose which threads so you don't have to load more than you need all the time.

Good advice is to always use "timg" instead of "img" just in case.
