Yeah sorry, I got it out as soon as I could but it can take a day to show up on devices, and the Play Store says that because of corona "expect review times of seven days or longer" - I don't know how that affects updates, but that might delay it

if it doesn't show up, and you're comfortable installing it outside of the play store, I uploaded the new release APK here
https://github.com/Awful/Awful.apk/releases/tag/v3.6.10

I dunno if that'll update the current one or install as a separate app alongside (might want to pick a different app icon in the settings if that's the case) but yeah, if it's gonna take 7 days for a fix to roll out then getting logged out every 30 mins is going to get old real fast!

if anyone got the update yet pls say so, I can't see the stats yet

No update on either device yet, but I haven't been logged out of my tablet since you posted about the cookie issue. My phone had already been logged out by then, but I only just logged back in on it before replying. I'll check with it in a half hour or so, and then report back.

The cookie is only set when you log in, so if you were already logged in before cloudflare started sending the poison one, it won't affect you

Just downloaded and ran the .apk

It ran as an update to existing app. Don't seem to have the "wait seconds to do stuff" thing that happened on quick swap before. Log in seems fine.

That's good to know, thanks! If the slowdown thing actually is fixed then that would be cool, we'll have to see about that though

So the login expires after 30 mins, but it won't matter until the app restarts and has to reinitialise everything. So if you're not using your tablet enough that the app gets kicked out of memory, it'll stay logged in. You're probably using your phone more doing a bunch of other things so that's more likely to log you out

And you might have been logged out recently because your session cookie actually did expire, it lasts a year (and it's the same one on all devices) and because of an earlier bug a lot of people had to log in again around the same time, so that might be why it's hitting a wave of people. The fix should do it, otherwise I don't know what the heck

I always end all apps when I'm done with them (tap the Square button to show apps, then either slide them away or hit the trashcan/close all button). It's a habit that formed when I had very limited RAM on my first Android phone so I pretty much had to do that to run an app.

I don't know enough about how Android works to know if that makes an app have to restart and reinitialize, though...

nah it doesn't guarantee it, that's down to the system, it just signals that the app can be kicked out of memory - easiest way to tell if it's restarting is if you see the splash screen

it's also possible your tablet made you sign in before all this started happening, I had to log in a few days ago and this wasn't happening then. It should be fixed with the update anyway!

This may be a weird question but how many different places in the app can you see the full title of thread titles that are really long? While posting or editing a post, the whole thread title appears at the top, but is there a place other than that I don't know? In the thread display, while browsing the thread, and in the bookmark display they get cut off.

When you're browsing the thread you can scroll the title back and forth, if that helps

I have a compulsive habit of touching/highlighting text while I read

My reading weirdness is that I always constantly scroll so that the line I'm reading is centered vertically in the display which means when I get close to, but not quite to, the end of a page in the app or in an e-reader I trigger the next page and I have to go back in order to finish the page.

Yes, Amazon touches the apk files we submit (the same ones that go to Google) in a bad place and that might (read does) prevent you from applying a clean file as an update. Likewise it might be the other way around.

I've submit the update to Amazon a few seconds ago, lets see if they're quicker than Google. Still didn't receive the updated version but I'm not getting logged out so ehh.

The rule back in the day when these apps were coming into being was that no one can make money off the forums other than Lowtax. Why doesn't Lowtax put some money towards these apps? Who knows. (I know, it's because he has no money.)
