I'm going to dissent and say that while it certainly needs to be adjusted, making it a user setting is a terrible way to "fix" the problem.

shortspecialbus posted:Eh, whatever then. I'm not going to get into a philosophical argument about it. It would be nice if it worked better. Would it help if I took a video of how it seems to work, if you don't have access to an ipad? I agree that it's way too sensitive currently. I trigger it accidentally a lot myself. And I'm not philosophically opposed to ever adding settings, but you have to be careful because every new setting adds more complexity both for the users and the developers, and this specific issue can be solved without adding a setting by just playing with the sensitivity until it feels right. It would be different if there was a lot of disagreement about how sensitive it should be, but everyone pretty much seems to agree that the current version is too sensitive.

Freezer posted:Apologies if this had been asked before, but I was just handed an old ipad2 which I intend to use mostly as e-reader and light browsing platform. It was given to me running on ios9, which made it laggy as hell and nearly unusable, so I decided to jailbreak it and downgrade it back to ios6 which mostly solved the problem - it reacts fast and snappy now. The forums started requiring HTTPS for logging in at some point in the last couple years, long after the app dropped iOS 6 compatibility, so basically that version of the app won't work with the current forums.

Regular Nintendo posted:I added a toggle to just shut off pull to refresh if that works for you I think that's a good setting to add, but I wouldn't shut it off myself. Pull for next page and pull to refresh are features I want to use, I just think they're way too sensitive, and I don't think I'm alone in that based on the last couple years worth of posts on the topic.

Data Graham posted:I feel like it should only take effect if you're at the bottom of the page and not currently scrolling. How hard would that be to detect and implement? That makes sense, but I'm not much of an iOS developer, so I honestly don't know how hard it would be. I'm a front-end web developer who can figure out just enough of what's going on in the app's codebase to occasionally contribute some more straightforward changes. In my admittedly limited and unscientific testing, just increasing how far you have to scroll past the bottom seems to have made it way harder to accidentally trigger it while scrolling. I'd still like to see how other people feel after they try it, but to me it feels like this simpler approach might solve the problem.

Yeah, sorry, that's on me. So when I posted this:quote:I figured out an issue with it that could be improved about two hours after the commit, and I still haven't gotten around to actually doing anything about it. I was referring to the fact that the current distance seems to be somewhat dependent on the length of the page you're on, and as a result can be waaaaay too far a lot of the time. I always intended to fix that, but I'd been lazy and I didn't realize until right now that Pokeyman had released the change on the App Store. I'll try to make a fix today, and hopefully Pokeyman can release it before too long.

carry on then posted:I still think there's a bug here we haven't caught yet. Before the latest change, sometimes on my XS Max I would notice it had a hair trigger, like it was already half-way through the threshold the moment I started the pull. Other times it seemed normal, but I couldn't figure out a pattern so I had no ideas on what to do to fix it. I figured something out that might be what you're noticing. If you're on a page where the content doesn't fill the whole screen (like say there's only one short post showing) you have to pull a lot further to trigger it. The latest version makes that way worse since I increased the distance you have to pull across the board. carry on then posted:I also wonder if it's screen size dependent. Did someone test the new values on both an SE and XS Max? I don't have any actual devices to test on besides a X, but I played with it this morning at SE size in the simulator, and I do think that makes a difference. I pushed a change to the repo that I think should address both issues.

I'm pretty sure Lowtax or somebody added the couple of lines of CSS that make timg unnecessary several years ago anyway. (I almost never use the forums outside of the app these days though, so I wouldn't know if it had been reverted at some point.)

I haven't seen the issue myself, but based on the screen capture, it looks like the whole page view is resizing, it's not just the text. It looks like a tweet or whatever is loading that's wider than the page, then a split second later it readjusts to match the correct width. That's just a guess based on the video though.

You’re not accidentally touching the scroll indicator, are you? As of iOS 13, you can grab it to scroll quickly, but I find myself doing it accidentally all the time.

carry on then posted:It’s toggleable in setttings if you don’t use the feature and the prompts are annoying. We might have to start defaulting to Off because complaints will be coming once iOS 14 releases. I think 14 also added an API that will actually let you check if the clipboard contents match some pattern before reading it, so theoretically Awful could ask iOS if it’s an SA url and then only actually read it if that check comes back true.

kimbo305 posted:iPhone X, iOS 14, Awful 4.10 That is intentional. Their user name was given that treatment on the actual forums several years ago because they used to always post in QCS asking when 3D browsing would be enabled on the forums. I added it to the app css to match. I almost never browse the forums anywhere but the app anymore, so I have no idea if they still have that on the site.

When you read a thread, essentially the app gets the web page, pulls out the relevant data, and builds its own custom web page out of it. It’s then displayed using a web view control that Apple provides (not Safari per se, but it’s basically the same underlying engine). I’m almost certain that iOS ad blockers have no effect on the type of web view that the app uses though. Any change you’re seeing in the behavior of embedded YouTube videos is most likely just because of a change on YouTube’s end.
