I don't think it's an option, but you can send it to safari from the in app browser.

Eugh, that really annoys me for some reason because whenever I return to a thread it's still open.

I'd love it as a toggle if that's possible pokeyman :-)

Unless you've drastically improved it that is...

You can also long-tap links to open them in Safari, completely bypassing the in-app browser.

That's fine for me then


Is the redesign going to require an update? Going to go crazy without Awful.app access.

Yes, 1.9.1 is the latest released version, 1.9.2 is the version submitted the other day, and 1.10 is the next major version which is in development/testing now.

1.1 and 1.10 are not the same thing in version numbering.

Not the biggest issue in the world but coloured thread unread counts aren't showing. Is that just because of how fast the update went out or is it not supported anymore?

I replaced it with a bunch of menu items (alongside the Cut, Copy, Paste menu).

In regards to this; When uploading an image I have to press the right arrow twice when I want to upload from library. Not sure if it's just me but it's rather annoying because I always seem to forget and think it's crashed.

pokeyman posted:

Turns out that's not a true replacement, so I'll be putting the buttons back.

Woo! Are you planning on doing the cool bar above the keyboard thing I remember someone (maybe you) mentioning? Chrome and Drafts do it really well.


Drafts pictured

Also the menu items would still quite useful for image uploading (despite the aforementioned bug)

I've noticed recently (due to the rest of the app looking so nice) that the Gold thread rating looks very blurry when everything else on the page looks nice and sharp. Here's an example
Obviously that's very zoomed in but it's still blurrier that the rest of the text/images when looking at it normally.

I get what you're saying. It would be preferable to have that behaviour rather than the 'two small posts... reload'. Not sure how hard it'd be to implement or if it's possible at all though.

Ok, odd bug I've been experiencing all night on the current App Store release.
Once I've read a post in a thread that thread disappears from my bookmarks, if I then go and read another thread the previous one reappears, then the new one disappears. It's very odd.

Here's some screenshots



(I didn't scroll/refresh/remove any bookmarks)

Edit: 6.0.2, non jailbroken

I'm seeing the same thing, I'll take a look. I'm gonna leave the submitted version alone and fix this for 1.10.1 I figure.

Good to know I'm not an outlier. Has the new version been sent off to Apple then?

Has it by any chance fixed the image uploaded needing two taps to get to library? That's pretty much my only qualm right now besides new forum bugs.

I have a kind of Awful unrelated question if you wouldn't mind enlightening me.

Say you requested an expedited review of the fixed 1.10.1, what would happen if that got approved before the original 1.10 update went through the system? I don't know why I wonder about these things...

Edit:

I have discovered an interesting bug - both iPad and iPhone, I I have a thread in my bookmarks with a large number of unread posts (several hundred) and I read the thread directly above it, when I return to the bookmarks, the large-unread thread and the one I just read will switch places... And if I keep reading the next thread up, eventually that unread thread will end up at the very top of the list. If I refresh the bookmarks, it will return to where it's supposed to be, however.

Edit: iOS 5.1.1, latest app store release of the app.

Are mods avatars not visible for anyone else? Here's Ozma for example and I know for a fact (and her profile) she has one.

Good catch. Other mods and admins' avatars seem to be showing up fine. I think it's because Ozma's avatar has a link around it. I didn't even realize you could do this. Is it a mod/admin only thing?

Thanks, I have no idea if it's only a mod/admin thing. It doesn't show Shine's either. Not sure if he also has a link around it. Can't check at the moment.

Any chance of adding bookmark thread to the forum view drop down menu?

Sometimes I browse the forums when I have a spare minute and think "that might be interesting" but I have to load the thread, bookmark it, refresh my bookmarks and then mark it as unread. Just seems like there could be an easier way. There might be a reason for it but I thought I'd just throw my nitpick out there. :shrug:

Pressing the title of an embedded YouTube video (which I expected would open it in the browser) opens the page within the thread and makes the thread inaccessible which is odd.

It's me… again :cheeky:

Are there any plans to add read it later support in the future? It'd be handy when long pressing links or hitting the 'share' button in the in-app browser. Here's an example of Tweetbot's menu which I think does it pretty well.

Just a thought, great for some of the more link-centric threads.
