iPhone/iPad/iPod forums app

[eFestivals]

Do you know that the edit and reply boxes with quotes included are unscrollable?

I do now.

I'll pass it on the developer, and hopefully it'll get fixed in the update there'll be in the next couple of months.

hi t8yman,

the developer has asked for a bit of clarification about the problem, which I've sent to you via PM. I'd be grateful if you could please reply, so that the issue can be properly addressed.

Thanks.

[t8yman]

Done

[eFestivals]

thanks mate, it's appreciated.

[themuel]

Woop v cool cheers efests.

If I could suggest one thing I'd go for a 'sign me in automatically' option when you first open the app.

[t8yman]

I dont know if your developer guy is up for requests, but the ability to "favourite" particular forums would be nice? or to hide ones you will never use?

Now is a great time in the development cycle for these sorts of things, so I'll definitely pass it on, thanks. But perhaps I'll suggest that instead of 'favourites' it's done in the opposite way as a 'hide this forum' option, so that a user is made aware by default of any new forums that might be added.

I'm not entirely sure if it'll be in the next update or not, but due to hassle from Apple it looks like there's going to be more use made of the on-device features of the iPhone in future releases than there is currently.

[t8yman]

while we are at it then, the ability to post images directly into a post (but hosted in our gallery) would be ace.

I'll keep em coming as they come to me.

Can you + and - comments on the app? If so, how?

I'm not entirely sure (I've not used the app), but I don't think so.

The app is (currently) essentially the same as the mobile skin that's used on this site, and the +/- feature isn't implemented on that as far as I'm aware.

[eFestivals]

Is it possible that it could be brought in?

I'll suggest it.

[Katster]

No, you can't plus and minus in the app, but I like it that way ;-)

T8y> you can sort of scroll through quotes you have to hit return a few times then delete a few times and it shifts the text up. (a bit difficult to explain without physically showing you what I mean!!!)

[t8yman]

I get ya kats, I didn't even realise that you could hold to move through the text (a la cursor)

[t8yman]

Just noticed there isn't any way to report a post in the app. Neil- check the jokes forum, Holly valance thread. It's porn

[eFestivals]

thanks, will sort it.

[Katster]

thanks, will sort it.

Any chance of a "back to discussions" button at the bottom of the page please Neil? Lazy I know, but still.......

[Katster]

I agree! It's a lot to scroll back up through at times.

[eFestivals]

when I get a moment I'll see what I can do.

I'll also try and add the previous/next page buttons at the top of the page when in a topic, as it was bugging me last night that I had to keep scrolling to the bottom.

[eFestivals]

having had a quick look it doesn't look like I'll be able to do either thing without making major hacks to the software code (rather than just playing around with the skin).

But once I've dealt with the other forum problem I'm still trying to get sorted since the upgrade I'll take a deeper look as it might be easier than it appears with a quick glance.

Can't you just tap the top if your phone to scroll back to the top?

[t8yman]

Yes you can, but on an iPad it's a full 6 inches to raise my arm!

[eFestivals]

Can't you just tap the top if your phone to scroll back to the top?

not if you're not using the iPhone app, but are instead accessing the same interface with a web browser.
