Woo, figured out how to disable pinching and zooming completely on the thread view. It's a minor thing, but it makes the view feel less like a web page and more like a native app.

Is there any way to "Jump to last unread post" from the bookmarks?

That's how it's supposed to work. Try all the stuff from the second post about displaying unread posts and there was also one other trick but bootleg hasn't added it to the OP so I don't remember it right now.

Love the app, but I have a question. When I press the edge of the screen to go to the next post sometimes it lights up blue but I have to push it a few times to make it go. Is there a trick to it? I just found how to swipe to move along, so I'll use that for now. :)

Switch it to vertical mode in the settings! That switches the app so that it scrolls through a page on a thread just like you're viewing it on a browser.

Release 11 has passed the certification process! It should be available in about 24 hours or so. If current users have any difficulty after upgrading, I recommend uninstalling and reinstalling the app. You'll have to redo your favorites, but in the grand scheme of things, it's trivial (this is a one time thing -- growing pains :v:). As always, I'll update the OP with the new release link and other info. Cheers!

As an aside, I'm also working on porting Awful to Windows 8, in the event that the OS won't allow backwards compatibility with WP7. At the very least, W8 desktop and tablet users will have something they can use to browse the forums, Metro style. I'll post a mockup of how it will look sometime in the near future.

It isn't letting me log in (tried uninstalling and reinstalling as well). I put in my username and password but when I click login nothing happens.

Yeah...big goof. I fixed it; since there doesn't seem to be a rollback feature, I'm going to submit a beta version alongside the release so those affected can use the app quickly (or use the browser for the next couple of days). Will also update the OP.

Sorry folks. :(

Unit tests are your friend.

It's just so plain. There's no zazz to to it. Can you zazz it up some? Use the "rule of thirds" and make the face bigger.

Yeah, it's hidden until the fix is out. Since I submitted it on Wednesday, it should be available no later than Monday.

That was quick! Release 12 will be available on the marketplace sometime today or tomorrow. No need for a beta -- you guys can remove your emails from your posts if you want.

App's back on the store. Just in time for my next shift; thank you for saving me from boredom once again.


VVVV Works fine for me, bootleg robot, for what that's worth.

Downloaded the new version that just popped up on the marketplace, but I still get stuck at the login screen. I deleted the old version before downloading this one, if that counts for anthing.

I'm thinking it's Marketplace fuckery again. When I downloaded Awful from the marketplace 5 minutes ago, it installed release 11 for some reason.

For those who have it working, could you confirm that the version you have is 1.12 (on the main hub, tap settings -> "about this app")?

Marketplace fuckery indeed. When I go to the app on marketplace, it shows me the "update" button and goes to the "downloads" screen when I press it, without actually downloading anything. :iiam:

Just double checked, my working version is indeed 1.12.257. If it makes a difference, I first uninstalled 1.11 from my phone, then chose the reinstall option from my PC on the Marketplace website.

So I downloaded the new update and while I can get in, I can't get any threads to show up. Once I go into a forum it prompts me to hit refresh to get the thread list. Once I do that, it spins and eventually boots me back to my app-list.

Same.

That's because the app isn't saving the forum to the internal database. Once you initially load up all forums, exit out of the app and restart it. Let me know if that fixes the issue.

Cool, so the addition of the Paranormal forum wasn't assigned a subforum in the app which caused a database error.

Fix incoming. This will be the last update until I'm able to reliably test for things like this, among other things.
