Awful literally takes the chunk of HTML for the bottom banner ad on the website and shoves it in at the bottom. If you see the ads in Awful but not the website proper, that's definitely a bug.

Two things: I thank you for the clarification of the pinch gestures. Apparently they do not work on iPad (due to plenty of real estate).

Second, I have bought No-Ads but yet still see the sexy chicks in both Awful and Maxx apps (I do not use the iPhone apps).

In your forum (not app) options, is "Show member banners" set to yes or no? These are the ads that show in Awful, and I believe that even with No-Ads it's set to yes by default.

I think pinch to zoom could be useful on iPad to give a showthread template only. Where things like avatars and would be cut off and you'd just see the thread and posts inside it.

I think it's been mentioned as being worked on but a instapaper almost type of view for things like LP's and really long threads would be amazing.

Hello awful users. I've been getting thread tags done at a faster rate than usual (basically I stopped caring about how accurate they are to the original, adopting a something is better than nothing attitude) and just wanted to make a last chance post to say if there are any tags that piss you off because they are missing let me know and I'll make them top priority.

I think the new build has close to 100 new thread icons already and has the ability to add new ones without having to send an update to the App Store, so keeping up once we have them all done will be super easy.

That should be the latest version. The next version will be released as a new app under Pokeyman's account, but he's having one hell of a hard time getting it approved.

Oh, it said 1.7 was awaiting approval, so I was wondering if there was a 1.6 release somewhere.

Pokeyman can clarify, but I think the plan is to put out one more update to the old app that points people to the new app once it's released. I guess that's 1.6?

The last of the OHIO line will be 1.5.16. That update has been accepted and will be pushed as soon as we're ready.

1.6 was the first version I submitted to the App Store. When it got rejected, the fixes for that rejection (plus image uploads) became 1.7, which I then submitted to the App Store. 1.7.1 has a one-line fix for the most recent rejection (sorry TCC denizens) and I submitted it today. 1.8 is an excellent and massive visual upgrade thanks to The Dave and Diabolik900. It's ready to go as soon as 1.7.1 gets accepted.

1.9 is under development, featuring cached posts. Then it's on to 2.0, where UISplitViewController goes to die.

All of these versions have a whole bunch of various fixes and tweaks (and thread tags!).

Odds are good that once you get the app approved you can wait a few months and then re-enable TCC. Or maybe sneak it by during the Christmas rush. :v:

There's no way they check every little detail every time, right?

Another visual bug:

Open bookmarks tab.
Press Edit button.
Scroll down.

The unread counts are half off the screen, probably because the rows are not adjusting size to account for the delete button

The new build doesn't even have that edit button so it doesn't matter. To remove bookmarks you have to do the slide horizontally to reveal the remove button.

My understanding is that new apps (which this is technically) get checked a lot more thoroughly than updates. So I wouldn't be surprised if we can get it through in a later update.

Could probably also add a hidden way to enable it if need be and never really get caught by apple because the app isn't really in the spotlight.

I'm a colossal buffoon. I heard you were making a new app called Awful and sat here still (retardedly) assuming I'd see an update in my App Store when it released. The way people are talking it sounds like its already out?

I searched for "Awful"
And just saw Regular Berry's and S II Maxx.

Is new one out? How do I find?

There'll be a final update to Regular Berry's Awful once the new app is out, that will do nothing but tell you the new app is out. I'll update the link in the OP too, and I'll post here. You won't miss the announcement.

To put some perspective to this, there are 404 tags done and 75 left to do. I believe the version of the app that everyone has now is missing about 250. There might be a few more that were added in the last few months, but I doubt it's very many.

Edit: Oh, and version 1.8 will have the ability for us to add more as they're finished without the need for an App Store update.

If you're taking feature requests, I'd love customisable font/font size and the ability to sort your bookmark tab to have threads with new posts first (SALR style). Are those at the very least feasible?

pokeyman - I sent you an email about this, but the release that lost the always persistent bookmarks view for iPad in landscape really upset me.

I liked having bookmarks visible at all times, it made it real easy to get caught up on a bunch of threads with only a couple of new posts each.

Any way we could get this back, at least as an option?

pokeyman

gently caress me. Guess what was in my spam folder. I'm sorry I didn't respond, and thanks for following up.

I have the same setup: bunch of bookmarked threads, each with a handful of new replies. I'm not sure how to go about it. I can't stand having the bookmarks (/forums/favorites/settings) view always open. But that certainly doesn't rule out an option.

Do you like the bookmarks view open for any other reason? Or do you prefer it just for your bookmarks? I've been thinking about some kind of consolidated bookmarked threads view, so you can quickly go through all of your bookmarked threads' unread posts.
