Basically Apple doesn't have any way to officially transfer your app to another developer so when the new guy takes over he has to submit it as a brand new app through his account.

Scroll to bottom button. Sometimes I'm looking for a post on a page and some threads can involve a lot of scrolling to get there.

This this this.

Also make links open directly in Safari. We have multitasking these days so there is no need to use your own web page viewer.

Edit: Or add the "reader" button to the in-app web page viewer.

I think that scraping pages for offline viewing has been brought up before, but the forums admins are opposed to an app that accesses pages beyond what your normal browsing pattern would be.

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?

Would there be a way to open an image in app in an "image browser" and any other link in Safari? Maybe that could be a compromise.

Syncing favorites is a great idea.

I've thought about syncing settings before, but stopped because I figured people would want different settings on different devices. Looking through the current crop of settings, though, that seems pretty unlikely. And we can always have a "sync settings with iCloud" setting.

But would the "sync settings with iCloud" setting sync?

Yeah, timg downloads the entire huge image then shrinks it on the screen which is a pretty inefficient way to do thumbnails.

What are the chances that the page formatting or parsing instructions or whatever could built into a text file or xml or something that could be updated manually via iTunes file sharing (like default.css can)? People could download the latest version of that config file when the forums change instead having to wait two weeks for Apple to approve a tiny change like this. Though maybe implementing that is more bother than it is worth unless the forums layout is going to be changing once a week or something.

The SALR Firefox extension used to do that. I think it did it when you paused scrolling for a second or two.

Edit: though this may have been before the forums tracked unread posts so it was only doing it locally.

Hmm, I'm not seeing the same crash. Do you see any of the page before it crashes? Like can you scroll down a bit, then it'll crash?


Don't blame Imgur, it's probably Awful loving things up. Can you put the original image up somewhere and I'll take a look?

Testing a landscape photo:




This one came out fine, and uploaded at the original dimensions.


edit: Can I suggest a resize option? Maybe a prompt asking for the width and defaulting to something reasonable? Timg makes you still have to download an entire huge image. Posting 8MP images inline is a little silly.

This is a great app. One bit of feedback:

When marking a thread as read, can you make it mark through the post before instead of including that post as read? I often only get halfway through some of the longer posts and it's annoying having to scroll all the way back to the previous post so I don't lose it.

There used to be a setting to show one previous unread post.

In English we read left to right, hence left curved arrow to imply motion backwards.

If the button has to be an arrow then it sounds like right arrow should be the button that you push to continue the conversation. "Get back to this person" isn't what I am thinking when I want to reply to someone.

I have no idea if any of that is useful or interesting, but that's why it's an arrow pointing left.
