I just had an interesting experience on the market version of the app:

I caught up on the last 4 or so pages of a fast moving thread. When I got to the end of the last page, I pulled to refresh to check for more posts. For whatever reason, the app kept sending me to the middle of the page's old posts, but they were still colored as though unread. The posts at the top were properly colored as read.

Eventually I scrolled to the last post and manually marked it as last read, and hopped back over to my bookmarks. When that loaded, I saw that the thread I was just in had -20 unread posts. When the bookmarks page reloaded, everything was fine again.

A couple things about the market version of Awful:
1. Immersive mode is amazing :coolfish:
2. I keep triggering menus when trying to swipe up or down to exit immersive mode. Can menus be suppressed if the result of the touch is exiting immersive mode?
3. I'm in a thread, and swipe up from the bottom to get access to the home button. This triggers the jump to page pop-up. I hit home to exit the app. I click the bookmarks shortcut to launch the app later and I get the bookmarks page properly, but the jump to page pop-up is on top of everything.
4. Bolding letters in the middle of words seems to have a space inserted when viewing in the app. On a browser, it looks as expected. Example: goldeen

Market Awful on stock unrooted Kit Kat Moto X.

Edit: and now there is no space. Wtf.

The Back button doesn't do this?

Looks like it does, but I need to get out of immersion mode for it to show up first apparently. Swiping left to right takes me back to bookmarks rather than the previous thread.

Did we lose the popup to display images as inline? I have images turned off when not on wi-fi, and when clicking the links today I got the brower opening automatically instead of the popup we had before.

I'm using the current market version of the app and I've found that I can't click the link on a quote to jump to the person's quoted post. Is anyone else noticing this?

Stock unrooted Moto X, FWIW.

Edit: And now it works. Nevermind.

If you're hiding previous post it can't jump to a hidden post on the same page. I patched it in the last version but for some reason it still only works some of the time. Goddamn webview.

There's an option somewhere that will let you decide what to do when you tap on links.

It took me forever to find the option. Here it is:
Settings->Posts->Always Open Links->Uncheck

Can anything be done to prevent exiting immersive mode when activating the drop-down menu on the thread view?

Clicking the read posts by user link causes an instant crash.

I'm having an issue with forum attachments.
I have the setting set to prevent displaying of images in previously read posts. This is usually fine and dandy, because for imgur stuff, for example, I can click the link that gets inserted and select "show image inline"

For forum attachments, the only options I get are to open or copy the URL. Is there a way that the app can detect a forum attachment URL and insert the "Show Image Inline" option?

An attachment for experimentation:

Do you have the Settings > Images > Hide old images option turned on?

Yes, I mentioned that in the post right before that.
For other images, if I click the URL inserted for the hidden image, I'm given the option to display the hidden image inline.

If I turn on hide old images, then go to Bluedeanie's post, mark it read, and refresh the page, the attachment loads as an image. Your own posts are always going to be marked as read, so maybe you should give that a shot.

That's pretty similar to my current process, but that workaround is pretty annoying considering the functionality that is already baked into the app for other image hosts.

I just got a hand-me-down Moto X and installed the Awful app on it. On this phone, if I swipe the app off the running apps list (which I often do) and then reopen it, the app opens up to the list of forums instead of my page of bookmarks. Is there a setting for this somewhere that I'm missing?

Bookmarks is a different shortcut. Maybe in widgets?

He's talking about all the letters being scrambled. And yeah this happens to me too every few months, most recently like a week ago. I don't think it is Awful.apk specific as if seen my Nova launcher do the exact same thing.

Yeah, I've seen this multiple times including in my launcher, Apex. Probably your phone rather than a specific app.

I forgot to ask in my post last week. I have some threads bookmarked whose last post was in 2014. I don't have archives upgrade and yet I can read them. Am I meant to be able to or is this a fault with the app?

The archiving process shat the bed quite a while ago. I think threads are getting locked and added to the archives, but not removed from the live forums right now. Enjoy your free semi-archives.

Any idea why threads load up blank until I refresh (my first issue)?

No idea, but I've seen similar behavior. Typically it's when I task-switch away from the app while a thread is loaded and then jump back to it. It may have to do with the cached thread failing to load after the app was paged out of memory, but I've never looked at the code so this is just armchair theorizing.

You need to activate the special mode for this. It's actually a hardware switch, you'll need to pierce your phone's battery with a screwdriver then you should be all set.
