Sorry to be late to the party. I just joined the TestFlight hopefully I can help with the next point release

On the latest beta is the “still loading” screen really needed? The progress bar shows that it’s loading? Am I missing the problem that this new display is solving?

I guess the progress bar could be a little lower down or more visible until the page is loaded?

The buttons under “still loading” also seem odd. Why not have them at the bottom of the screen like the buttons that appear there when you’re browsing a forum?

I actually only see this new display whilst loading meta, not any other forums. And it only appears for a fraction of a second. Not enough time to even press it. It was difficult even taking a screen grab!

I assume it appears after a certain amount of seconds? Maybe it could only appear if the progress bar isn’t moving very quickly?

The “still loading” screen on the latest beta solves the problem described in [I got trapped by a really slow site](https://meta.discourse.org/t/i-got-trapped-by-a-really-slow-site/117710) but I think your comment rightly points out that it’s triggered it a tiny bit too early. I’m pushing a new beta to fix another subtle bug, and will adjust the timing of the loading screen as well, showing it only a few seconds later. Its purpose really is just as a fallback on the rare occasion a site loads way too slowly or doesn’t load at all.

Edit: new beta build 163 should be out.

Thanks Penar!

Any thoughts on the progress bar being hidden when recording a screen?

I think we can live with the progress bar being hidden while recording.

For completeness - it’s also hidden when I’m on a call.

By that token is it also hidden whenever GPS is active?

Indeed it is. Good catch.

I assume any other states where the status bar is drawn differently by iOS will have the same result.

후, 다행히 TestFlight에서 베타 버전이 제거된다는 경고가 있었군

그냥 앱 스토어 버전을 그 위에 설치하면 되나요?

OP를 말씀하시는 거라면, 그 글이 거의 6년 전 것이기 때문에 그리 놀라운 일은 아닙니다.

다만 TestFlight에서는 버전 업데이트가 있었습니다.

네, 그렇게 했습니다 🙂 더 최근의 TestFlight 관련 토론을 찾을 수 없었거든요
