So, trying to edit my post when it’s the only post showing immediately after actually making the post says “you are editing your own post” with the option to delete draft and nothing else. Can’t type in the text box and the post has been made, it just hasn’t loaded the rest of the thread.

E:unless there’s a post made between starting the post and posting it that it hasn’t loaded yet, if it’s got any other posts to show this doesn’t happen.

Oh it's an action instead of a different php file. Got it, thanks everyone, with this I should be able to get the pink star showing, but not custom icons. IKs will get their grey star too.

It's fine, OLED theme is amazing and good but it doesn't need to be literally as black as can be everywhere.

Oh, I meant going the other way and making it a little lighter to better contrast the background. But it's marginal.

Any way to turn off the save draft prompt when backing out of writing a post? It's a bit cumbersome, at least for the way I make posts

Not at the moment. I probably overcorrected here, so I might scale it down a bit. If not then I'm open to adding a setting for it.

Ugly In The Morning posted:

Clicking through from a rap sheet or quote is still bringing up the unread posts in the thread instead of taking me to the correct post- but only in bookmarked threads. If I’ve read the thread but not bookmarked it it’s working as normal.

:thunk: good to know, will check it out!

Dr. Shithead posted:

No need to apologize, was just curious if it was gone for good or just something happened that was temporary. Definitely don’t lose any sleep over it because the app is incredible even with the inevitable idiosyncrasies. If I knew anything about app programming/design I’d be more helpful but still would like to offer my support/help for sicker implementation or updating. Happy to compile or whatever dumb tedious task you might need that would make it easier for you to get them bad boys back up- either way thank you so much for making this app and continuing to work on it.

:) no worries! I think I know what I wanna do, just gotta do it.

The app has been acting up for me as of late. If I switch back to Awful from another app (like my browser) after having tapped on a link to something it will reload the page I’m on, mark everything read, and lose my position. The page will be very glitchy until I switch pages or go to another thread.

Experiencing this mainly on iPad.

(I think I look at too many threads with Twitter embeds and after a while it’ll happen. I can’t replicate it right now.)

I seemed to have cleared the issue by restarting the iPad and quitting the app. It may happen due to the app being used a lot, I’m not sure. Next time I’ll record a video.

Adding an image directly to a post from camera roll makes it impossible to see text when you start typing on my 6s+.
I have to slam the return button to see anything as the text field no longer scrolls down after the image is pasted

Is there a foolproof way to copy animated images out of the app and have them drop into iMessage?
I feel like sometimes they resize sometimes I do selection mojo and copy paste works, sometimes I only get the first frame, etc.

I may be running into size limitations or something breaks when it makes the plist in iMessage. I just want to send funny (sometimes animated) images to people who aren’t goons!

Heed my words and become a master of the Heart (of Thorns).
In the smiley list/menu in the app almost every smiley is shown twice, like 70% of the smileys. Is there a reason for this?
It makes the already very long list of smileys a lot longer than it needs to be and makes it hard to find the appropriate smileys.

Is there a way to tell what the stars mean? Maybe if you open someone’s profile in the app, it just says “Admin” or “idiot king” somewhere?

I’m noticing I’m frequently losing the top “previous posts” bar when entering a thread from my bookmarks page that isn’t a full page of posts (midway through a page). Hopefully that description makes sense.

Not an issue, but I just wanna say I really appreciate the app in general and that it's still so actively supported. I was thinking about my experiences trying to browse the forums on my first smartphone, the Nokia N78, and how much of a joke that was compared to using the Awful app now.

I’d love a way to create my own names/nicknames for sub forums. There are some really stupid names like “DOTA” for Games and whatnot. I can just memorize what dumb as hell name goes with which sub forum but maybe this can be a feature if it isn’t a lot of work.

Pushed a commit for this. I'm also looking to including the role in the user profile somewhere. Pokeyman, if I add fields to an AwfulManagedObject is there any migration code I need to write for everything that's already in the DataStore or will that just work?

I think someone mentioned it before but sharing an image from the awful app to slack (and maybe elsewhere) doesn’t allow for a user to come back to the app. The share option menu freeze above the app and can’t be dismissed
