I actually feel like the intent was for it to be last page and maybe something got mixed up?

I blame myself, it used to say last post but went to the top of the last page. I thought they might want it to say last page instead of post but instead it got changed to go to the bottom of the page :shrug:

The last time I mentioned this I should have kept my mouth shut. I said that the links at the bottom of the page should say first page/last page since it went to the top of the last page, not to the last post.



Then it got changed to actually go to the last post, which to me kinda sucks because then I go Last Post >end of last page>immediately scroll back to top of last page.

Maybe other people want to catch up by only reading the very last post of a thread but I pretty much always want a little context so starting at the top of the last page of the thread was way better.

The long press menu on a thread or bookmark has a last page button in case you didn’t know about that, so you could do what you want that way.

Whoa, I had no clue that was a thing. Thanks!

Hi all. I’ve had this problem for years on the app but never got around to complaining until today, but is there a way to fix double bookmarked threads? The only way to fix is is by deleting one bookmark, but then upon refreshing it will have deleted both. Then I have to find the thread, bookmark it again, and hope it only has one entry on my bookmarks list.

Also it only seems to happen with threads I’ve created.

Sorry if this is a dumb question but I am newish to IOS and the IOS awful app: is there a specific rhyme or reason that swipe right to Go Back doesn’t work? If I open a thread from my bookmarks and want to go back to my bookmarks, sometimes the swipe right gesture works, but other times it seems to do nothing and I have to use the back button in the top left


Still my favor iOS app so far :)

You have to swipe from the very edge of the screen. If you have a thicker case it might be causing that issue. You’ll get better at it as you use it more because it used to be kinda hit or miss with me too but it’s better now.

for some reason I can't log in on the app any more... I got logged out somehow and can't log back in. The password and ID is the same that I use on my browser but it wont work now. I've deleted and reinstalled it and still nothing. Any ideas?

I can’t use the app whatsoever now? It won’t open and crashes immediately, then if it does open, it won’t open a thread

E: restarting the phone is working for now, but will keep an eye on it

WOULD YOU ACCOMPANY ME ON A BRISK WALK? I WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK WITH YOU!!


While I know search would be a whole thing, perhaps "Find on Page" could be implemented?

I sometimes am trying to find a recent page with a matching keyword, and sometimes I just accidentally tapped the top of the screen and need to get back to where I was. I feel this is probably less work to implement than a true search.

In the meantime is there a way to jump back to wherever the hell I was on the page if i do bonk the top on accident? It gets tedious to find where I was on an image-heavy page like the comic strip megathread.

i've seen a couple ios apps that pop up a button to jump back to where you were when you trigger that scroll so hopefully it's not too hard to implement.

Tweetbot does a thing where if you tap the top of the screen again it just takes you back to where you were.

Is there a way to have the Awful app show the entire last page instead of just the last post when I open a thread? I miss that from the Android version.

Press/hold on a thread title in the forum list / in your bookmarked threads, you should get a popup, Last Page is an option there.

Style request: Is there any way to slightly increase the left-right margin between avatars and usernames and slightly increase the vertical margin separating post headers from posts? Like a few pixels at most in both cases? On an iPhone 10, stuff is a little cramped together and I think the density-readability tradeoff would be a little better.

Updating to iOS 15.4 caused some visual weirdness in Awful! I’m starting to see what look like little hamburger menus in posts.

There are windows cp1252 smart quote along with unicode ones - it could be either of them.
windows ones here ‘ ’ “ ”
unicode here ‘ ‛ ‟ ”

fwiw those all look fine to me on 15.4 but the ones in the Xbox post are also broken for me. Also quoting the Xbox post seems to just get rid of them

I see relatively similar behavior on iOS 15.3.1 (haven't updated yet). Overall I see:
  • No visible quote chars on the post itself:

  • Invisible quote chars when editing a quotation of the post itself:

    ...although I can see they DO exist if I delete the word "It’s" char-by-char from my own quotation.
  • Regular visible smart quote chars when I preview my own quotation:

  • ...and they display perfectly fine on the Awful website in my Safari:

Hello I posted this bug in QCS and was directed here.

1) last night I attempted to ignore list a user in GBS who is an IK elsewhere on the forums from iPhone app

2) I was given this message


3) the user is NOT Larry Parrish NOR or they a Mod//Admin, they are an IK named A GLISTENING HODOR

4) I tried 4 times and then just posted about it in QCS, where I was directed here by others who believe this to be a bugged interaction between how IK’s function and the ignore user list.

Just bringing this to your attention, thanks from the bottom of my heart for making such a nice app for browsing and thanks for having Dark Mode!

You won't be able to add anyone to your ignore list while you have a mod / admin / ik on your ignore list via the app, nor would you be able to add an IK to your ignore list via any method, sorry.

For what it’s worth, as I mentioned in the QCS thread, you can always ignore users with the website by clicking the ignore button under their post. It works there, even if you have a mod on your ignore list.

Yeah, somebody said that the person they're trying to add is an IK. If that isn't true, use the website, click their profile and click "Add User to Ignore List" at the bottom.
