Now if they could only figure out how to parse html properly...

Just noticed that the mobile app does not show sticky threads in the V30 forum.

By design. Sticky threads seem to just get in the way. Maybe for mobile there is a better way?

Hmm. What html are you talking about?

Well, it does pose a problem, as I posted a new thread that was already contained in an invisible sticky.

Hi guys, really sorry if this is thread exists, but I can find the search function on this forum app.
I wanted to go to the PC page via mobile browser, but it brings up this app.

Anyways, if you could point me in the right direction that would be great.

I also didn't see a category for forum app help so sorry if this doesn't belong here...

Thanks!

Sorry a little late in seeing your thread, but I moved it here so others can help with your AF app issue

The app is likely set to automatically handle any androidforums.com URLs. The exact location of that setting may vary based on your device, but on my Nexus 6P with Android 8.0 I can go to Settings &gt; Apps &amp; notifications &gt; Advanced &gt; Default apps &gt; Opening links &gt; Forums and change the Open supported links option to Don't open in this app.

If you can locate that option on your phone then you should be able to use the app when you want to and the mobile web site when you'd rather use that.

That's because there isn't one.

 

[steve]

That's because there isn't one.

Soon there will be a search!

 

[mikedt]

FWIW search is a feature I often use on AF, usually looking for "China", "Chinese", "iPhone", etc.

Are you saying the search is over?

 

[iowabowtech]

You were with me all the while?

 

[IHateMyTreo]

Is there a new protocol when posting or linking pictures? In the 'old days,' we had to post a link from an off-site photo location, such as Photobucket. But since many of those off-site photo sites are no longer free and are discontinuing the free accounts, I think we're going to end up with a lot of busted links. Does the new forum allow for direct upload of photos? What is the current preference?

Yes it does. In fact AF has always allowed pictures attached to posts AFAIK. And that's what I've always done.

Not only the apparent demise of free picture hosting and hotlinking like with Photobucket, when browsing from a mobile device some sites like Imgur force you to download their Android or iOS apps to view, which I'm NOT doing.

On the web hit "upload a file" below the text box, for pictures you can then choose the full pic or a thumbnail after uploading.

Everytine i try to login the login drop down box goes away and after a few tries it takes me to another page to login usally i just go to my url bar and type this http://androidforums.com/login to sign in but is this a bug since the overhaul of the new design?

 

[bcrichster]

Noticing that ppl's 'rank' has changed to 'none', including mine.. Is this part of a newer overhaul in progress? (Just trying to help point bugs)
On Chrome browser (MM-60)

You're #36 now.

I get a weird bug on the mobile site. Not crucial but when at the top of a page it moves to the left. I do it accidentally sometimes and it's annoying because once it's moved, sometimes as I scroll down I can keep moving it. But if I scroll down before moving it, the page stays locked in place like it should.

As of this afternoon, the mobile app crashes on opening. Uninstalled and reinstalled - same result.

Yep a couple of us have mentioned this in the app-specific thread. Appears to be something that needs to be corrected from the server end.

Using the app, I've already posted in the 'one word novel' game today I get the message must be 10 characters. Can this be fixed? &#128577;

Well, this is by design. Wouldn't the reply be more meaningful than just saying so?

I'll chat with the boss and see what he thinks.
