The app isn't always loading new posts. I've even posted a new reply to one only to have the thread not display it.

I'll clarify what my problem is. With some threads the app won't load new posts. It will say new posts were written, I can even have written one of them in the app, but it will only display the last page I viewed on the app from however many hours or days earlier. Refreshing or restarting the phone don't resolve the problem.

I'm using the latest version from Google play. There's a thread where only two posts show on the latest, penultimate, and third most recent pages. Also, several threads still won't show the new content that was posted to the threads.

Thermopyle posted:

Maybe you should share which thread it is?

Also, I'm not sure if this is an Awful-specific issue. There's an SA bug where sometimes you can't see any recent posts in a thread unless you make a post in it yourself.

The thread that only shows two posts per page is this one:

I didn't think to write down all of the threads impacted by the no new content problem, but two of them are:

(Coins)
http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3725289

(Star Wars)
http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3514675

Neither problem pops up when I access SA on a laptop.

I spoke too soon. The problem of a thread not updating in the Awful app is popping up again, this time with an SAMart thread.

My O.S. is android 4.2.2, I use an HTC One X+. I seem to be the only one with this problem which makes me think it's something on my end. Could the phone be too old? Could the install be corrupted?

Can you still use the three dots button or unspoiler the spoiler text?

I have a couple of dumb questions.

Is this app the same one as the windows 11 app?

If not, does anyone know if that one is still supported?
