I’m back to tweets now always opening in Safari instead of Twitter. Tried twiddling all the related prefs, restarting, etc. Is this happening to anyone else?

Is it possible to set a different link color in OLED dark? The dark blue on black is really hard to read.

I like OLED dark and it’s battery saving power, but I see where you’re coming from on the CSS conundrum. Both the “quoted OP” text and the link need more contrast against black. In the meantime I’ve switched back to regular dark which I used on my LCD phone and liked a lot.

I have an XS Max and when I do use the app it’s usually in portrait mode to begin with. I’ve just tilted/rotated into landscape and back in both directions. No crashes here.

weirdly positive thing! A number of goons have noted in the travel thread in GBS that the awful app works pretty well on Norwegians free WiFi - not so much Delta (it worked for me in Jan of this year, guess not so much now). I’d still avoid image heavy threads and twitter links doesn’t show, but sometimes when I reload my favorited it’ll speed up loading a page on safari as well. Currently shitposting over the Atlantic!

I’ll let you know about Delta tomorrow afternoon. I’m 90% sure it doesn’t though, but I may as well double check. iirc, it’s locked down for instant messaging so they may just have the ports for iMessage and whatever android uses open.

I think links in posts would be fine with just the underline and no colour switch to blue. Links in quotes already appear this way and it works. The OP text could maybe be made bold although there’s nowhere else that’s done I don’t think. It could also be white w underline?

Sucks how often I get crashes now I have the new *scries runes* iPhone 11 Pro Max and it has this issue but not every time. It seems like it’s more likely when it quickly switches to landscape and back.

Just finally downloaded this to try it out and for some reason it’s refusing to accept my username and password, despite them being accurate. On a brand new iPhone 11 if that’s significant. Any one able to suggest a way to make it work?

I still can't open literally anything on my XR, after a month or two and multiple iOS updates. I can log in fine, then clicking anything freezes up the app completely. If I open it back up after waiting a few minutes it either gives me a network error or it loads whatever forum or topic I was clicking on. Works fine on my iPad. Can't figure it out.

carry on then posted:I wonder how feasible it would be to let users set an accent color in code. Hard part would be the CSS (which controls those unfortunately)... Could we do the same rule-twiddling thing we do for making text size work? That’s CSS values driven from code as one data point. spanky the dolphin posted:I think links in posts would be fine with just the underline and no colour switch to blue. Links in quotes already appear this way and it works. Not being able to tell underline from link is more annoying in the abstract than in practice, though it has come up in reading some megathread OPs (which, along with the F&F thread in TG, is about the only place I ever see people using [u]). Dotted underline in both?

I imagine they have some kind of local cache onboard the plane to reduce bandwidth used, that's probably why it speeds up Safari as well. Awful is literally making requests to the forums as a browser and then either scraping or just transforming what it gets back into mobile-friendly viewing with CSS. Interesting that Delta didn't used to block but now does, that means they might have been letting Safari traffic through to the forums as well...

AFAIK none of the American (USA) carriers offer free WiFi for surfing. I think Alaskan does something with T-Mobile for texting or something. (Currently on a Norwegian flight to the UK using free WiFi).

Could you please +1 updating the icons I made a while ago? Thank ye. Yep! Solovey posted:hey, thanks for the response! i still hadn't been having any luck with getting either of the apps to work, until earlier today when i finally tried something i probably should have done when this issue first started: i accessed the forums via web browser and changed my password, and inputting the new credentials in the app finally allowed me to log in. still no idea why it was having such a problem with my old password, but at least if this ever comes up again, or if by chance somebody else starts to have the same issue, there's a solution...? That is very weird, but I’m glad you got it sorted. I still haven't ruled out something dumb in Awful. shortspecialbus posted:On iPad Pro 11, I am occasionally doing "something" that causes the page to scroll up to the top. Every time I think I figure out what I did, I can't reliably reproduce it. This is happening to me too on the same device, except it happens in other apps for me (most annoying in Twitter) and I’m pretty sure something's just busted in the display or digitizer or whatever and I should bring it in to get fixed. Does it happen while you’re still in Awful, or do you have to leave the app and come back? MarcusSA posted:Ok this is a weird one. I see this sometimes too, it drives me nuts. I’ll +1 it on the list.

Wouldn’t surprise me if Awful is doing something unhelpful like positioning a view with a fractional pixel offset. Krankenstyle posted:Could be.

Doesn’t really matter at all but thought I’d let you good goons know. That’s my guess. There's at least one bug because of the ghost posts, might me more than one. I’ll add it to the list.

Agreed it seems weird there aren’t widespread reports. Though I did notice (and maybe it came up in here too) that Awful crashes immediately if voice control is turned on.
