Just updated, stayed logged in after updating and works fine for the few minutes I used it. Thing that sucks is that "my forums" was cleared just like previous versions.

Let me try to fix it for you. Could you tell me what happens when you try to click on username area or take a screenshot of what happens so I can better understand. Good thing about android is that I can have an update out to you in just a few hours

Great to hear. Let me know if you run into problems. We changed the architecture of the app a lot. With the next update we will have it so that the my forums won't clear anymore

Don't recall seeing the notification when you quoted my post. Also just found out that the back button no longer works.

Yea back button won't work on this version. Didn't have time to work on that as I wanted to get the critical parts out the door. Will work on push next then after that back button

Thanks !

The "share this thread" feature would be nice if it worked. Never has worked since I got my galaxy s5 back when it came out.

Thanks for the new version of the app. I noticed an interesting combination of improvements and regressions. Here are my thoughts so far.

Improvements:
  • Prior to 4.0, the user info above the main menu (News, Forums, etc.) always read "logged out", even when I was logged in. Now, it appears to work correctly.
  • Prior to 4.0, I was not able to press the "Appreciate" button. Now, it appears to work correctly.
  • Prior to 4.0, when long pressing a thread, it would take to the top of the PAGE with the first unread post. Now, it takes me to the page AND scrolls to the first unread post -- a huge improvement!
  • Prior to 4.0, pressing emoticons while composing a message had no effect. Now, it appears to insert the code correctly.
  • The "refresh" buttons are gone and now uses "pull down to refresh" instead.

Regressions:
  • When visiting areas such as My Forums, Subscriptions, etc., they don't appear to update automatically. I have to pull down to get the thread view to refresh. Prior to 4.0, they updated automatically when selected.
  • Since 4.0, the "single click goes to last read post" option does not appear to work. Single tap always takes me to page 1, even if the option is selected.
  • I know you're already aware, but for completeness -- the system Back button does not work.
If we can address the regressions and keep the improvements, we'll be in great shape!

I have to say. Very accurate list!

The reason for the seemingly nonsensical mix of advances and regressions is that we decided to rewrite the base code all over to match the iOS version of the app. So something's went forward to match ios while other things seem to have gone back as they were not part of ios (such as back button).

But we are right now working on the next release to bring those other things forward (for example back button and push notifications are all ready for the next version)

We are also going to start working on some of the other regressions you mentioned. For example the single click not going to last read post, which I think only happens when launching from the subscriptions area (but works when launching from forums area)

As always please feel free to post up any other bugs you find it if you have suggestions. The beauty of android is that I can adress them quickly and get them out to the App Store fast. For example I will get this next version into the store either tonight or tommorow night

Tried version 4.1 since yesterday. Big improvement!

I noticed the following regressions seem fixed:
  • Back button works now!
  • Single click goes to first unread post option works!
  • Refreshing the main views for Subscriptions, etc., seems to work better now. Still not entirely clear when it refreshes and when it doesn't.
Push notifications also seem to work, at least for News and PMs!

Here are some suggestions for improvement:
  • Tapping the notification for a PM should start the activity for the specific PM. Currently it just opens the main app window (News).
  • When creating a post or PM, tapping the body area once brings up the keyboard. However if I tap the title first, it does not bring up the keyboard. I have to tap the title a second time to get the keyboard to appear.
  • Great to see that Mentions work! Not sure if that was there before. It is a little difficult to use because the mention window obscures the text I'm typing. It is usable, just could be improved a little.
  • My own username (in the upper left corner when the top level app drawer is visible) still sometimes reverts to "Logged Out" even when I'm not logged out. Not sure what triggers this.
  • The login mechanism could be improved. AFAICT the way to log in is to hit Enter from the password field. A button or something would make this clearer.
But overall, this is a huge improvement from the pre-4.0 application!

just installed 4.2. When clicking on an image, it opens but the zoom +/- is no longer an option. Pinch zoom doesn't work either.
