Edit: You know, there is one thing that bothers me and I know it's being worked on. Thread icons. They're really nice looking, but it bugs me when there's a blank one. I'd love to help with it, but I don't have any software.

I hear ya, there's just a lot of icons and limited time to do them. The next release is gonna have at least a few more. If anyone wants to help out making some, get in touch with me or The Dave.

I never thought of that before, but I would love it. Instapaper is another app that works similarly.

Edit: Also, getting thread lists to automatically refresh again would make me very, very happy.

It does? Honestly I never use it but have it and I just took it for a spin and the UI elements were static the whole time.

I'd like to start with having the page stuff be actually on the bottom, but keeping the title bar static, I don't know why. Maybe I just need baby steps.

I think that you should have the option of seeing the controls from anywhere on the page, but it makes sense to hide them by default when you're in the middle of a page. I like the idea that they're there when you load the page, disappear when you start scrolling, and reappear when either you tap on screen or reach the bottom of the page.

No, it's nothing new in the app but I think the most surprising thing is that it was never rejected before. The Dropbox app was rejected back in May for the same issue.

I've never noticed that issue before, but I can confirm that that post looks fine in the latest builds. I'm not sure if it works in the version currently waiting for review, but it looks like it'll be fixed in the next version after that.

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.

Is there a 1.6? The latest version I can see in the App Store is 1.5.15, under Regular Berry.

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.

zergstain posted:

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?

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.

Here's a little peek at the current thread tag progress, it's pretty significant ( these all won't make the next release, but will make the one after that!):



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.

I've been getting that Title not Found error relentlessly for the last day or so.

It's so bad I can't even use the app, which is weird because it worked flawlessly without a single problem before that.

The app needs to handle it better, but I think it's because the forums have been having some issues.

I downloaded the new app for my iPad, and now whenever I visit any thread, the menu icon in the upper left corner completely disappears, making it impossible to get back to the forums/bookmarks list.

Am I the only one experiencing this issue?

Definitely a bug. The button should still be there.

Is there a way to see what version I'm running? I haven't seen the update yet - the 1.7/1.8/1.9 talk is for the Awful app with the horrible magenta background on startup, right?

No. The new version is a brand new app (at least as far as the App Store is concerned). There's a link in the OP.

Glad people are overall so positive about 1.7. 1.8 and 1.9 are the real nice ones though. Can't wait til they're out.

The old app should still be available under your purchased apps in the App Store, and TCC may or may not come back in a future update.

Diabolik900

The current version is 1.7. Since it took so long to get 1.7 approved, 1.8 was submitted to the App Store as soon as 1.7 was approved. Hopefully, that'll be out in the next few days. 1.9 is in development/testing right now (and it's pretty sweet).

Don't know the answer to your question, but can you access the forums in Safari? I've heard other people say before that the forums were blocked by their carriers by default.

Diabolik900

I can't answer everything, but here's a couple things I can respond to.

sirbeefalot posted:

- Is there any kind of auto reload after a set length of time away from the app? I haven't noticed, but maybe I've missed it. If I come back to the app after leaving it in a subforum or thread and its been more than 5 minutes or so, I'd really like it to refresh automatically (more so in the thread listing than in threads themselves). Same deal if I tap the "Bookmarks" tab after browsing from the "Forums" tab for a while.

I have no idea why, but this got dropped from the app somewhere along the way and is very annoying, but it's back in the version that's currently in development/beta testing.

quote:

Why on earth are the forum ads at the bottom of the page included? Why isn't there an option to turn them off?

If my memory serves me correctly, the very first version of the app didn't have the ads, and Ohio (the original developer) was told by an admin (I don't know who specifically) to include them. This was a few years ago, so I might be remembering wrong though.

quote:

Beyond that, it doesn't even successfully open the post. I get a 404 error.

Pokeyman accidentally submitted an earlier build of the current version to the App Store and didn't realize until after it was approved. He's since submitted the REAL build, and it's currently waiting for review. I'm pretty sure this bug will be fixed in the final version.

I honestly don't use dark mode in any other apps, but I've taken to it in Awful 1.9.

Not sure if he's submitted it to Apple yet, but Pokeyman finalized 1.9 some time yesterday.

Chuck Bartowski posted:

Edit: Are you two testers by the way? Or is there someway to get 1.9 early I'm unaware of.

The Dave and I (mostly Dave in the last few versions) have been doing most of the design for the app, while Pokeyman takes care of all the real development work. There are some more beta testers, but I'm honestly not sure who they are at this point. I'd assume that pseudonordic is from his posts.

If you know what you're doing, you could get 1.9 now by building it from source.

There's no way to browse archives, but clicking a link to an archived thread works the same way as clicking a link to an active thread. I'm honestly not sure what the behavior is in the current release version, but in 1.9 it will open the thread in the app.
