Hey this got me thinking and I threw some mockups together:

I like. Does Awful.apk do something like this?

Adding to that a bit, here's a mock up of how I could see it working.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TqSc06_5mZY

I've thought for a while that it'd be good for the background to blur / fade / both when a button's triggered and the icons come up since sometimes I hit a button and don't realised they've popped up.

Also maybe the 'Joined 08/10/2004' bit under the usernames could be switched to how it displays in the desktop forums - 'Oct 08, 2004' and given a bit more spacing below the username. It's a bit more compact that way and cleaner.

Hadn't thought about a blur or more of a modal there but I like the idea. The upside to having it inline is that's all in the web view, which is nice since the custom titles are HTML. I'm not sure we can pull it out into a separate web view that's presented modally in a timely fashion.

Soricidus posted:

Maybe 3D Touch on a profile picture could open a profile preview, like threads in the thread lists?

I'm all for more 3D Touching. Always a fun lil surprise when that actually works in an app!

quote:

Also I’m getting a thing where pictures sometimes disappear when their top goes off the screen, even if the rest should be visible. Over-aggressive optimisation?

I'm getting the same. It's not something we changed in Awful, or at least nothing we intentionally changed. Might be a UIWebView thing.

Shear Modulus posted:

I'm also having this issue with the newest version. To elaborate further, what happens now is that hitting "preview" puts you on the preview screen, but the button in the top-right says "preview" and hitting it slides the screen to the right but gives you the exact same screen (that is, it says "preview" and acts like a preview button). Hitting cancel on the preview screen and then the post icon again (ie, from the thread view) loads the preview screen back up (not the compose post screen, but I'm not sure which of the two screens (compose post and preview) is the intended behavior is for canceling out of the preview screen then hitting the post icon again), but now the top-right button is "post" and submits the post.

The same behavior happens on editing. Hit edit, type your edit, hit preview (go to a preview screen that will take you to an endless series of preview screens), cancel out, hit post again, hit save.

Thanks, this is v helpful!

jivjov posted:

That's fine for quoting...but I'm talking about an error with editing. I went in to edit a post, changed my mind, backed out, and made a new post instead. The new post overwrote the post I had jumped in to edit and no new post was actually made in the thread.

If you left the contents of the edit in place when you pressed "Cancel", it'll maintain the edit. We now prepend "Re:" or "Edit:" to the navbar to help a bit while we figure out what to actually do here. I realize it's not an ideal setup.

I think that's just because it doesn't know how to format "youtu.be" links (which Youtube provides for sharing). Copy the preview text, change "video type" to "youtube" and it should embed properly.

If you pasted a "youtube.com" link it would've formatted properly, I believe.

I tried that and it also didn't work... The full YouTube.com link is formatted differently.

Edit: I went back to the preview and changed youtu.be to youtube.com, then tried to post it, rather than changing the tagged youtu to youtube, so that's why my fix didn't work. :doh:

Is this app updated to work with/convert HEIC photos? I've been having trouble uploading photos since I switched to that format, but it might just be Imgur is stupid or something.

I've found that the app goes to landscape really easily and then gets stuck in that mode, rather than switching back when i turn my phone back to portrait.

Also also sometimes my forums list won’t display anything above or below the ones it was on when I opened it, and clicking the ones it does display becomes very finicky. This can be fixed by quitting and restarting the app.

Was going to post about this soon. Like described above, most threads will simply turn blank, the remaining thread/s stay in the order they were in, as in they don't jump up to the top of the list. (E: this is in bookmark view)

Separate issue: sometimes I feel thread selection is too sensitive. I accidentally deleted a thread today. I'm not sure if being able to delete a thread so easily just by pulling is by design. (Still not sure what I deleted).

E: one more thing, sometimes I can't select a thread from my bookmarks. I can scroll the list but the app doesn't seem to respond to pressing. More specifically it doesn't respond to pressing to open a thread. The bottom buttons (lepers, settings etc.) respond fine.

It feels like I was standing my entire life and I just sat down
I also deleted a bookmarked thread and it happened so fast I had no idea which one. The tolerance between grabbing a thread for deletion and swiping back to view a thread is too narrow.

Perhaps a pop up box asking if you want to remove the bookmark would solve? I imagine that is a pretty rare action as to not being overbearing.

A common way (I think?) of handling tab deletion is to have the swipe only reveal the delete button, rather than be an alternate way of deleting in itself (that's how I first assumed it worked with Awful; maybe it did before).

It makes the process a bit slower, especially if you're deleting a lot of things, but I'd prefer the peace of mind of less accidents.

Not entirely sure what's going on with my PM Inbox. Swipe-to-delete doesn't work anymore, and it took a while to realize there was now an edit button at the top, but when I found that I could select the message to delete with the minus symbol, but tapping on delete made the delete button disappear but not the message.

Thanks for working so hard on this app, fellow goons! It has been my most used app for years.

Apologies if this has already been said, but I’ve been having an issue with posting replies. Whenever I press “preview” after writing a reply the post button doesn’t appear, and instead I just get the preview button indefinitely. If I want to post I have to hit cancel and then come back into the post every time.

Editing also doesn’t work for me, but unlike the previous solution I haven’t been able to discover a work around.

Thanks again!

I think there is a bug that I actually like: when I try to click the link to view the post of someone I have on ignore, I get a different random post from earlier in the thread. So I still don’t see the post of the person I have on ignore, saving me from my own curiosity.

In my experience that only happens with unread posts. If you load the page again it should display properly.
