I put 2 and 2 together just now, turns out I used the debug api key for the release :doh:. Should fix itself with the next update.

Bug report (I'm assuming): If in a thread, you do a 'Show Only Posts by User' you get taken to a list of posts in the thread etc. If you then try and link to a post you found using that view, it does not. For example, a user has 12 pages of posts in a thread with 1000 posts. If you link to a post on Page 8 of his 12 pages, it instead links you to page 8 of 1000 posts and the corresponding post number. Sorry for the vague description.

I'm not going to go so far to call this a bug report at this time as it could just be an issue with my connection and/or phone.

But does anyone else ever have issues when downloading an images where it just doesn't seem to start?

I definitely see this sporadically, but I've always assumed it was most likely on imgur/twitter's end or my connection was already slow in general.

Would it be possible to organize a bribe to make icon pack makers include an Awful icon? It just bothers me that it never matches the rest of my homescreen and there don't seem to be any popular frog-based apps I could easily use as a substitute.

Last time I tried icon packs, they had a bribe function built into the respective app where you could "ask them to prioritize" the icon for a certain app. Maybe try that?

I actually did that! I've sent multiple requests to different icon packs, and I sent Vertumus :fivecbux: last year and it didn't work, and nobody else is getting my money now. I usually just end up using the skull icon from Shadowgun because literally every icon pack has it.

(This is all just freeform bitching anyway, I love the app I just spend way to much time tweaking KLWP for that ~perfect homescreen~)

Hello! Uhh it isn't a huge issue and doesn't really matter, but my android phone highlights random BYOB threads as pink.



There doesn't seem to be any commonality to the pink threads, and when I refresh different threads turn pink. When I go into the pink thread it looks normal.

Anyway, thought it might be of interest :)

I had a theory that Jeffrey was pranking us, but it's not happening on my desktop. (And not on the app either, for me.)

Semi-related: On a lark I went and checked and sure enough there's an app in the Microsoft store (it's called "Awful Forums Reader"). It, uhh... needs work, as I can't log in. The spinner just keeps going. Also it's loving ugly.

It looks even better if you've got a dark theme as then random threads in other forums get highlighted pink too and pink on black is rad

I hope it never gets fixed

That happens sometimes when you cross the four letter forum streams. The thread list tends to recycle entries out of view instead of creating new ones. And sometimes it does that with entries that were from a different forum. Woops.

I really love this app, thanks for making and maintaining it! Is there a chance that the upcoming changes in the foundation of the forums will gently caress everything up?

Sereri
Sep 30, 2008

We've already had minor things break since the new management took over but most were easy to fix. Due to the way the app percieves the website, most things would be easily mendable. In addition, they have already made efforts to make sure that we are aware of changes so that we can fix stuff if anything breaks. The main thing is tough that Jeffrey already made it clear that he intends to keep the current software and build upon that. This should ensure that we don't have to start from scratch but can built upon the lovecraftian horror that is our codebase.

Thanks for the comprehensive answer, it's a real relief! This app is the only way I interact with SA so I'd have been real bummed if it broke permanently. Any way to throw you a couple of bucks when money gets less tight?

BonHair

This is also the only way I interact with the forums these days. I know it's early, but have you considered a more official status of the app? Like, making it part of the SA package and being part of the (paid?) team? Presumably, this could also eliminate some workarounds in the long run.

Maybe now the SA web server can get an API that returns json and scraping HTML in the app can be made obsolete.

I just realized the app's imgur uploader refuses to work with .webp images despite imgur itself hosting them. Is that something that might be an easy fix for some update?

Welp, after pushing an update to the app I reread astrals comment and it's apparently when you have experimental features enabled.
If you're in the beta you might want to enable this for now if you use this. Whoops.

Maybe we could export the number of categories somewhere and you could use that? They it'd work seamlessly if we tweak this again.

While the colors could be based on the stars (we do that for the forum tags), they're currently hardcoded. Unless you constantly change the number however, this is probably easier.
