I was gonna say the same thing but nope, that thread was made after the name change and shows the right thing on the forums. Does the app cache userid -> username mappings and then only use them when listing threads? Something like that?

There's some kind of caching, I've reported it before.

At the risk of opening up to more av size chat, the upcoming theme addresses the weird typography throughout the app:



There is now the same style for secondary text - regdate, killed by, edited by (italicised), post date. It's dim enough not to distract, thick enough to remain legible. I think it's actually more compact to boot.

There's also a lot of strange things like the non existent padding next to the av and the extremely bold and too large quote titles etc that have been fixed.

This would be a much better use of the space than a big chunk of nothing imo, although since they aren’t a uniform size I can’t think of a sensible way of doing it while keeping everything aligned neatly.

We've got an interesting wide mode for ipad built in that displays gang tags and custom titles on the left and the posts to the right. Basically a cleaned up desktop mode. Gang tags and customs are nice for forum accuracy, but they're also super cluttered, super variable in size and look and would likely look crazy messy on a phone. Far worse than a chunk of nothing that your eye skims over automatically.

Commie Kong can best answer this, he's merging it into the beta build but I have no idea how long that side takes.

Now that the app has regular iOS context menus, I think there’s space here to give this “Seen” button a more descriptive label. Something like “Mark as last read”.

Just made my first PR to Awful with this and a small fix for a missing string I noticed.

Hopefully I did it right :raise:

Co-sign here -- and also would it be possible (with whatever parameters these standards widgets give you) for this menu to list the poster's name as a title? The older version of the app w/ the custom single-post menu included the poster's name, and I've found it handy in the past!

??? This is what I see for the user menu, which also doesn't have a "reveal this post in full thread" item:

Also because I just mistapped and definitely 100% intentionally ignored you, the old interface's "Unignore user" user menu item erroneously remains titled "Ignore user", even though they've already been ignore:
It still works to unignore the user! The "Unignore" menu item is just named wrong.

drat, nice find and thanks for reporting it during beta! I have pushed a fix for this to main, so it should show up in the next build.

I have the dog icon selected, and when I swipe up to dismiss Awful I see the voted-5 yellow on blue one for a half second before it switches to the dog. This wasn’t happening in the store version.

Also, when I tap the icon I see it flash to that yellow/blue one for a moment while the app window is zooming into place.

Is it possible to change the color themes for text? The light gray on black, bright teal on white, yellow on white, etc., is hard to read.

Tap the text screen like you are going to paste text -> [img] -> choose “From camera” or “From library”

Will it also fix the main post display looking like that on the iPad in landscape mode? I noticed that last night and had to switch back to my phone to actually read forums.

It would be especially handy for the new interface's dotdotdot menu to be restored to having the poster's name as a title, especially for longer posts where their username is scrolled far off screen when you reach the end of them. Crude mock-up of what I'm hoping for:
