When I swipe from a thread back into my bookmarks, is it supposed to bring the bookmarks in at a slight diagonal? I'm pretty sure it used to be flat horizontal. iPhone 6s, iOS 11.1 public beta 3, Awful 3.28

That's the only weirdness I've seen so far, but I'm not sure if that's app related, auto layout stuff, or something else. It's not a big deal though, just something I noticed.
I mentioned the diagonal slide on my 6s a while ago and was told it's normal.

I think this is an iOS 11 change? The table scrolls up along with the usual horizontal animation.

I don't know if this is a thing you can troubleshoot but I use Swype as my keyboard, and every so often while I'm in Awful, the keyboard will jump to the number/special character keyboard and stop responding. This didn't happen on my 6s, so maybe there's some iPhone X bug in Swype or Awful that needs to be addressed? It's happened on iOS 11.2 and 11.2.1.

hello, there is an issue uploading iPhone screenshots that have been cropped using the new function to imgur via Awful, and results in Protocol error: code 100. it works if I upload to imgur directly, and if I were to redownload from this link, it posts from Awful fine. if the issue has been noted already, apologies

Was there a change at some point for the pull-up distance needed to browse to the next page? I feel like I never triggered that accidentally but now I do it all the time. Maybe it's just a function of where I start the drag on the iPhone X vs the 6.
It's definitely the iPhone X, it's triggered when the circle icon is about halfway visible.

You’re quite toxic about it. Perhaps going outside every once in a while might help?

In the future, instead of giving vague snarky remark, you could just give a clear answer or just say the answer was a few posts up rather than “in the thread”.
If you get called out for having problems with reading comprehension it's okay to admit you were wrong. You don't need to behave like a petulant child.

No one is able to tell if you will be able to understand this, but the twitter images bug was fixed in the latest version of the app, and you can download it from the app store.

Any chance the awful browser could block redirect ads?
Do you mean like when you click on a link inside of a post, and it opens a browser, and inside of that browser is an ad that redirects you somewhere else? That sort of thing is well outside of the Awful app.

If you're talking about the redirect ads that show up at the top of the page when you're browsing the forums on mobile Safari, the Awful app does not show any of those ads at all.

I was getting image upload errors trying to make any posts last night, which I thought might have been because I had included a tweet, but just making a text-only post with no bbcode tags threw the same error. Might be because I'm on 11.4.1 public beta 3, but now it seems to be working? :iiam:

I'm not exactly in the know, but why is Awful not being embraced as the official Something Awful app? Considering how much work goes into it and just how drat good it is, I can't help but wonder why it's not being promoted as the go-to mobile solution for using the forums.
The announcement implies Google is penalizing the forums in some way "for not having a mobile responsive layout".

I opened the app, the bookmarks screen loaded, I tried to swipe to refresh before the app did, and crashed to the home screen.
Opened the app again, bookmarks screen loaded and immediately kicked me out to the home screen.
Opened the app a third time, loaded the main forums page, no crash.

I'm on 3.38, I don't think that's a beta?
