So the bit where I said I have all such settings on the actual forum turned off swung right past you eh?

It's turned off. And yet the Awful app displays them blue.

Tried logging out and logging in?

1.11.0-6:

Still can't tell the diff between read and unread posts in Dark Mode.
Orange bookmark unread post indicator is.... different.

IP-based forums switched over flawlessly for me!

That's for consistency with the site.

To be honest, I haven't read unmodified forums in years since SALR for Firefox was introduced. I have no clue what the plain forums look like anymore.

1.11.0-6, new bug. Log out causes a crash. You probably already have it via autoreporting but here's my console output:

2013-04-02 03:26:56 +0000 Awful *** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: 'Object's persistent store is not reachable from this NSManagedObjectContext's coordinator'
*** First throw call stack:

As for the bookmark colors, I don't actually use them. I now know they're an option and through fiddling with them tonight I know that by default everything is flagged orange, but I don't have them enabled in my user options so why push them into my interface?

Would it be possible to default to blue or have a user picked color if bookmark colors aren't enabled in the user's options?

Edit: I guess I just don't understand why a hitherto unknown-to-me forum feature that I don't use in normal forums usage is being pushed onto my mobile usage.

It's been pushed on to your mobile usage for months if not years, you just didn't realize it :)

edit: That said, Awful's loving up when that option is set to "no", so I'll fix that up for sure.

Could the "no bookmark color" option still show blue to keep the color in line with the title bar across the page? :3: Orange just looks wrong.

Just to speak up for the possible silent majority here: I have been using bookmark coloring since it was introduced and would very much like to keep it. Thanks.

I don't think bookmark coloring will go away, but right now it's implemented and working whether you have it enabled forum-side or not. I didn't realize the color of the unread posts indicator on the bookmarks page was due to the bookmark coloring feature of the forums, I just thought it was part of the UI. I don't have bookmark coloring enabled and I don't see myself using it, so I would be forever grateful if what I had previously assumed was the "default" look of Awful was used for the UI for those who don't currently use the coloring feature. (Or somehow made available as an option :3:)

Since I made a big stink about it, I figured I'd poke at all the thread color stuff in 1.11.0-7.

If the option is turned off, the bookmarks screen shows all the unread post indicators in blue (:holy:).

If the option is turned on and no colors are changed from the default, the bookmarks screen shows all the unread post indicators in blue but the default forums color is orange. Works as described in the changelog.

If the option is turned on and at least one color is changed from orange, the bookmarks screen shows all the unread post indicators show the correct colors.

For the record, grey is not a valid color. It is "unbookmark the thread." I lost (and rebookmarked) two threads trying to figure that one out :v:

Also, logging out works again!

For some reason this keeps happening today



Force quitting fixes it temporarily and I have no idea what I'm doing differently than normal.

That's a known issue. It occurs when you pull to refresh then click a tread while the "Loading..." bar is still there. When you go back to Bookmarks, the "Pull to Refresh" bar is stuck until force quit and relaunch. The workaround is to let the refresh finish before clicking a thread.

It is fixed in the latest beta, 1.11.0-7!

I can't seem to trigger this. It works fine on my own posts, so it's not a blanket issue with the logged-in user. And it worked fine on your posts in the thread you linked. (Whoever suggested following a copied URL when switching to Awful: I use it constantly in the simulator. Good call.)




Edit: same issue here. Awful beta 1.11.3 #6

New minor nitpick that only applies to beta testers: If I click on a link to a forums thread in Awful Beta, it'll open in Awful :v:

Nothing that needs addressing, just though it was interesting.

Except I just remembered the thread tag downloader looks up a domain I bought, so without a $10 annual outlay (or a one line code change), that feature stops working. If anyone wants to cover that, and is ok with eating paypal/whoever's fees on such a small transaction, go for it!

PM me your paypals plz.

Also, for the non-beta-testers:

I'm not sure if this has been brought up or not but when you're probated and try to reply to a thread, the app will give you an error message saying the thread is closed.

The effect of probation is that all forum threads are essentially closed for the probated user. App works as designed?

Came to check what was up with the error code. Glad to see that the fix is in the pipeline.

Is there a reason why I can read my bookmarked threads but not the actual threads? I get that it's because of the announcement on the password thing screwing everything up, but I was just curious what was making the app still update those.

The error occurs when trying to list the threads in the forum along with the Heartbleed announcement sticky. Your bookmark page doesn't have the Heartbleed sticky, so it updates just fine. The bookmark page jumps directly to the thread, bypassing the sticky.

I was running 2.0.9 beta 3 and updated to 2.0.10 beta 2 and now the beta app crashes every time I try to open it. Falling back to 2.0.9 beta 4 worked though.
