bootleg robot posted:All images should be properly hidden on load now, and should have a fixed width after tapping [tap to show image]. Attachments, too! I agree with your view on Metro theming, and adding gridlines would completely violate that. One of the things that makes Metro work, though, is that you can set things up so that the most common things you want to do are easiest to reach. The bookmarks page helps that a lot (I rarely go looking for new threads on the phone), but it would also be nice to have a list of "favorite forums" that let us go to the places we go fast. Think of it as the home screen to your alphabetical forum listing.

And I missed the part where you've re-opened a beta for testing. I'd love in if you're still giving out invites: edit: removed

Can I get in on the beta as well? [Thanks]. I guess I removed my email a bit too quickly from my previous post.

bootleg robot posted:For quotes? That's a cool idea, I'll make a mockup and see what everyone else thinks. Nested quotes are semi-rare on SA, but how are you picturing handling them here? Edit: I think there's also a limit to the number of nested quotes: quote:

bootleg robot posted:Load faster! I think a huge improvement would just be to store previously viewed pages (especially thread listings) without having to reparse the page. Specifically, if there are a bunch of threads I'm going through on my bookmarked list, it gets frustrating to have to watch that spinning arrow just to go back to the page I was looking at 10 seconds earlier. Is it possible to keep a cached copy of thread listings after processing for faster rendering? Or even store the page data in a data structure that can be quickly rendered? I know I generally expect new content to be slow to render, since new data has to be downloaded.

bootleg robot posted:The login takes longer than usual since it has to navigate to the site, add your login info to the web form, then submit. The trade off is that you only need to do it once (cookie is saved). I can confirm I also observe all of these issues. The app also posts an error message when it's first started almost every time - I just had it send an email about it. Hitting cancel allows the app to log in, but it has to go through the complete login process. Reinstalling seems to have fixed all of these issues.

The Marketplace finally let me install the beta version this morning. I also can't get out of the browser window; I log in and then it pushes me on to the forums. Trying to log in again brings me back to the login page, but notably I'm not signed out of the forums. I'm on AT&T but this was done over my home Wifi. I have IE set not to remember browsing history, if that matters, but the cookie is obviously saved. Ironically, I've had no login issues with the release version, so I'm sticking with that for the moment. I'll check the dev version every once in a while to see if it fixes itself.

Woot, it works for me too. Oddly, it actually worked for me yesterday, before the update hit. I have no idea what allowed that to happen, I hadn't used it in months...

Its pretty clearly doing a very simple regex for disallowed words, even if they are substrings within larger words. So assassin has rear end twice. Itd be nice to have a more complex filter, but hey, ot passed validation!

WattsvilleBlues posted:Sven stuff like documents gets hashed out. Thank God Microsoft is protecting the children from our documental profanity. This is something Bootleg Robot hacked together in minimal time to pass MS's content filter. MS isn't writing code for an app like this. It's a crappy filter because it's intended to be turned off. Why it has to be present at all? Bureaucracy. That said, having it use the forums censor would be quite fun. I don't know if anyone actually wants to spend the time to write it though. Bootleg Robot: Have you communicated at all with the goons in the [url="http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3514014&userid=0&perpage=40&pagenumber=3"Win8 App thread[/url] that are all working on their own SA app? I haven't seen you post in there.

Could not load the requested page. Hit refresh and try again." It seems to do this for all forums. Anyone else seeing this behavior?
|
Could you make the edge light up/bounce when there's a touch event near to it, or an apparent swipe motion? Making it glow on every pageload would be cool for the first few times, but get old and redundant real fast. Edit: Also, thanks for making that gesture location sensitive. I don't know how many times I ended up flipping forward/back a page in the previous versions just trying to scroll up - I ended up turning off gestures because of it.

I'm really enjoying the new beta, it's been good to watch this app get better with every release. One thought I have is that there's not enough visual curs that the bookmarked thread list is old when restarting the app. I get the desire to control data usage, but would it be possible to either (a) have a setting to auto refresh bookmarked threads when the app fist loads, or (b) display the amount of time since the last refresh at the top of the bookmark list. I can mock up my ideas a little later if you'd like. Second thought: can you also dim the thread icon when the thread is read. I know the text is dimmed, but the icon is so visually dominant that it's hard to spot that threads have been read when quickly scanning the bookmarks list. I find myself unintentionally reloading threads with some frequency because of that. That said, the work you've done on this has been fantastic, especially handling the recent forums changes.

Hey Bootleg Robot, would it be possible to work on that bug regarding the OP's name being displayed as "SAPoster" or something? This isn't exactly high priority, but I do like having the OP highlighted on the regular forums and don't want to turn that off. I don't need anything displayed in the Awful! app, but it'd be nice if you actually showed up with a name when I browse this thread on my phone  I know you know about this bug, and I don't know how hard it would be to fix or if there's something more urgent (almost anything, really) that you're working on. Thanks!
