Update on Forum Mobile App and Features

Doing a big upgrade like this will have it's pluses and minuses.  Just like anything else, with new technology, new features and apps will be able to be created.  With that, there needs to be code and structure changes to make it work better for the future.  This is happening right now with the latest forum upgrade.  There were a few bugs during the upgrade process and a lot of changes.  Everything is being looked into and a lot is being worked on.

  • Index Recent Posts widget, Bottom Post Page Widget, Awards App and Mobile App are all in development right now.  The first two in the list should be ready in the next few days
  • There is no ETA on the mobile app, but I know it is something that is a priority since everyday more people are upgrading to this new version.  I don't think it will be more than a few more weeks, if that. The developers need to update the app to work with this new version of the forum.
  • The Trading feature will not return to the forums.  There is no expected development or release of this product for the forum anytime soon.  This will become a full feature on Brick Classifieds.  Next week we will be releasing a bunch of updates and enhancements there.  
    • We overhauled the way we handle currency throughout the site and that was a big job. Once we release this update, vendors not located in the US will need to update their pricing on their products to make sure it is what you want them to be.
    • Launching a new Want Ad feature to tell vendors know what you are looking for, willing to pay, etc.  This should really open up some communication between buyer and seller
    • Launching a Trade area where vendors will be able to list items from their inventory to trade with other vendors
    • Manual Orders where based on your communication with members here or there, you will be able to build a manual order from your inventory with special pricing/discounts/shipping and send a Brick Classifieds member an invoice.  If the member is happy with the invoice, they just need to click the link in the email and it will load those items in their cart and they can checkout, then later leave feedback.

There is a lot going on, so just know that in case you are not seeing something right now, it doesn't mean it will be gone forever.  Everything will all catch up and probably be even better.

Thank you!

    Testing on mobile app right now. Not looking too bad. Won't work on current build in App Store. Need to upload new binaries.

Im still trying to navigate my way around the tapatalk app for android, but is there a way to get the app to display pics instead of giving me and icon that lets me download the pic to see it. I dont necessarily want to download every picture on here. I looked through the settings but didnt see anything.

It's good stuff. Thanks Jeff.

Most awesome! So good to have it back!!!

Thanks for all the work that was put in to getting the app back up and running! Very happy to have it back!

Sweet!  Thanks for getting the iOS App working again - it is much appreciated.

Anyone have the current .apk file for the droid version?  I don't have Google and don't intend to.

Do we have to redownload the android one or is it not available yet?

I am currently unable to connect with it.

 

Thanks

A couple of issues to report on the Mobile App:

1. Lately, when I hit "Recent Posts", and then go into a topic, I'm getting taken to the latest message in the thread, rather than the first new message for me.  I end up having to scroll back to find the first new message for myself.

2. Formatting issues.  The BBCode is coming through on the mobile app.  Not sure if it's supposed to.  It didn't do that in the old app, but I was also on an Android at that point.  Between the old and new app, I switch to iOS.  Now, the BBCode is there when I quote a post.  But, it's more frustrating that my formatting doesn't come through.  There are times that I've had a wall of text appear, because the formatting I wanted didn't translate.  Example below:

This is how I intended a post to appear:

This is how it ended up appearing after I posted it:

Is it something I'm doing on my end?

Nope, the mobile app has issues... the ones you highlighted are especially annoying.

Is the brickfolio supposed to be viewable via the app, or no? Only way to see mynbrickfolio is the main site via browser.

Thanks Jeff. I am not sophisticated on apps and wasn't sure if I was missing something.

I assume the old version needs to be removed, before you can download the new version?

I am not 100% sure if it's been pushed to the store yet. Maybe your device will know when it's there

It should just update from the AppStore

Are you trying to suggest something by quoting dcdfan and showing the pic of the outhouse?

No, it overwrites it.
