Forums for Android™

Interesting idea. I think that once we get filtering setup and you can easily sort by popularity, users, etc... this may help. Anything else would be manual moderation of some sort to separate those... even if it would be adding an extra year column in our channel table to filter/sort by. Will put more thought into this.

This isn't the issue. The issues is the forum/channel ...
Motorola Droid
... that is a real device and the words are the first two words ion MANY forum/channel names.

I gave the old solution.

The member-after-member who have made this error in the past are simply not aware that the Motorola Droid is an actual device.

Calling the forum/channel "Motorola Droid (2009)" might be the solution here. It would solve the accidental string matching problem.

When clicking on photos, most of them do not come to the forefront to view, they just stay small. Only ones that absolutely work are those that say "view attachment".
Edit : I tried to add a screenshot but it said server error..

I also had problems adding a screenshot. It inserted them, but then they were not there once I hit "post".

almathI'm finding out that I don't have that many interests.. EEEK my timeline is full of a whole lotta nothing! No one is posting in the threads I chose to follow.. Bummer
A filter for the timeline would be great. I don't want to see any of the off topic stuff.

This is one of the next features on the list!

Any word on getting conversations in there somewhere?

Yeah, I plan on adding conversations to the app. I have some features before conversations that need done, but I have been already thinking about it. Since they are just messages back and forth and we have notifications... I was actually thinking that setting it up as a chat, more like an instant message would be neat.

Just thinking out loud here...

Maybe it's different on the backend, but they act a whole lot like threads from my perspective, as they have the ability to edit, quote, etc. If setting up like chat didn't work, I was thinking either a fourth tab or a mock favorite channel so it shows up as a favorite even if you don't select it. I'm just spitballing and you've done well with design so far, so don't put to much weight in my thoughts.

They are pretty much the same as threads/posts in the backend..

Look at your quote of my post just above. Looks like it quoted your quote (malformed) and my reply. Normal activity is to just quote my reply.

Actually working on that now :)

Old forum layout....much much better and easier to follow. The new layout....less than spectacular.
