That's the only weirdness I've seen so far, but I'm not sure if that's app related, auto layout stuff, or something else. It's not a big deal though, just something I noticed.

When I swipe from a thread back into my bookmarks, is it supposed to bring the bookmarks in at a slight diagonal? I'm pretty sure it used to be flat horizontal. iPhone 6s, iOS 11.1 public beta 3, Awful 3.28
I think this is an iOS 11 change? The table scrolls up along with the usual horizontal animation.

I think the tweet issue comes from there being a deleted tweet on that page. If it can’t render them all properly, it’ll just render the text.

Might have to delete and reinstall, sorry. There's a longstanding bug (or two?) where this happens and you're kinda SOL. I'll make a note.

Caithness posted:

Also also sometimes my forums list won’t display anything above or below the ones it was on when I opened it, and clicking the ones it does display becomes very finicky. This can be fixed by quitting and restarting the app.

Does this seem related to the above issue with the disappearing favourite and then crashes? Or were you seeing these display issues before the crashing?

Rinkles posted:

Was going to post about this soon. Like described above, most threads will simply turn blank, the remaining thread/s stay in the order they were in, as in they don't jump up to the top of the list. (E: this is in bookmark view)

[snip to later]

E: one more thing, sometimes I can't select a thread from my bookmarks. I can scroll the list but the app doesn't seem to respond to pressing. More specifically it doesn't respond to pressing to open a thread. The bottom buttons (lepers, settings etc.) respond fine.

[iPhone SE]

I think these two are related and I'll add them to the todo list, thanks and apologies.

Separate issue: sometimes I feel thread selection is too sensitive. I accidentally deleted a thread today. I'm not sure if being able to delete a thread so easily just by pulling is by design. (Still not sure what I deleted).

TraderStav posted:

I also deleted a bookmarked thread and it happened so fast I had no idea which one. The tolerance between grabbing a thread for deletion and swiping back to view a thread is too narrow.

Perhaps a pop up box asking if you want to remove the bookmark would solve? I imagine that is a pretty rare action as to not being overbearing.

I think this is the new(ly available to apps not called Mail) iOS 11 feature, probably enabled by default when maybe it shouldn't be. I'll make a note. I know we've pondered a confirmation message before, and I've also thought about moving it to the long-press action sheet and doing away with swiping entirely. Fun fact: you can shake to undo deleting a thread from your bookmarks. (Fun fact fun fact: this feature has been broken in the past when I suggested using it, resulting in a crash, and I felt real dumb!)

Thanks for working so hard on this app, fellow goons! It has been my most used app for years.

Apologies if this has already been said, but I’ve been having an issue with posting replies. Whenever I press “preview” after writing a reply the post button doesn’t appear, and instead I just get the preview button indefinitely. If I want to post I have to hit cancel and then come back into the post every time.

Editing also doesn’t work for me, but unlike the previous solution I haven’t been able to discover a work around.

Thanks again!

You're welcome! I've got a couple reports of this now, still not sure what's going on but it's on my list.

Someone else had this happen to them, but when I tried to track it down I was having a hard time reproducing. Can you link me a post that you were having trouble with (maybe via PM)?

It's a nice feature. And no, that probably isn't it. The app saves the last read position and tries its damndest to return to it in order to defeat all the tweet loading that usually happens after the page signals it's completely done loading. We'll probably need to cancel the jumping back if the user scrolls.

I saw some earlier posts in this thread that sounded like “Lowtax wanted people to notice announcements more so deal with it”, which is an acceptable answer I’m willing to live with, I just wanted to know if the button wasn’t some tired goon’s joke I wasn’t aware of.

I'm sure there's a theoretical limit, and there might be a limit as part of some policy. Either way I don't think we're close to it, so if there's more submissions I'm happy to add them.

This is a time-honoured Forums bug. We pull the list of forums from the lil dropdown menu at the bottom of some forum pages, and that dropdown menu seems to get very confused. You might be able to pull down on the forums list to refresh the list.

I did this and now I can’t reenable dark mode. This is disgusting, how can I turn dark mode back on?

E: Never mind, I pulled the slider and it turned back on. I don’t want “automatic” dark mode, I just want a dark theme all the time but I can’t turn off the automatic. Seems not to be an issue because I pulled the slider all the way, but seems unintuitive.
