It's probably the bug with Samsung devices.

Do you want to try to upgrade to android 12?

I'm doing that right now............upgrade just came thru.

So just to make sure it's not that I am stupid - how do you add them to your list? Just to make sure I am not missing the proper way to do it.

Thanks, but have already tried that - no go. In order to refresh, I have to get out of forums, then get back into forums, then tap on "New Posts" in order for the app to refresh. All of the other post listing, you can just pull down to do a manual refresh/update, but you can't do it on the New Posts listing for some reason.

Alas, 5.0.15 did not increase my functionality. Still no MyForums, Subscriptions or Notifications.

There is a heart icon on the top right of the screen, that's how you add or remove them. But your old MyForums are still there, its unfortunately a bug for many users (Samsung users) where they aren't showing up. We are hoping to better solve this in the coming days, but its been proving a tough nut to crack…

Did going to Android 12 help any?

Yup, you are correct. THis hasn’t been programmed in yet, but will be there for an upcoming version. Thanks for the report!

Dark mode is now 50% done

apptest · 01-25-2022, 10:58 AM

I have a question for all the dark mode users out there, do you just keep dark mode on 24/7 on your device or are you constantly switching it on-off?

Thanks!

I have mine 24/7.

This isn't really important, but a small detail I liked from the previous version. Ability to click and see who appreciated each post.

titomi · 01-25-2022, 03:05 PM

Is this intentional? Quite different than the rest of the app.

Well I have no idea how that snuck in there.

Thanks. Fixing now

What version are you on?

5.0.15 on Android 11, Samsung phone.

Just a status update, I did get my hands on a Samsung device, and can confirm the app does look and run differently on it for some reason. Fonts and details are much bigger then on a Pixel. So now I better understand what everyone means when they say everything is BIG

For some reason I can’t reproduce the problem of not seeing PMs or subsriptions.

I’m going to try downgrading it to Android 11 later in the week and see if that might be the issue

I'm on Android 12 and having same issues. Randomly my PMs and notifications disappear and won't come back until I exit the app. Sometimes, but not always, refreshing by pulling down on the page brings them back.

For what it is worth, I am on a Note 9 with Android 10. I had a lot of the aforementioned issues, but they went away with the update releases. I am no longer seeing any issues for a couple days now.

Thank you man, this kind of feedback is really invaluable because its helping me narrow things down. We have been steadily chipping away at it and your post helped me move the ball forward a bit now

unluky · 01-25-2022, 06:48 PM

Not a bug - but maybe the ability to check WHICH push notifications you get? Like if you want to see who messaged or replied to you, but not about a new car or "interest" post?

Just a thought.

Yup, that will hopefully make it into a future version in the coming weeks.

It’s full force work on dark mode right now, making so much progress

Fixed. That will be a good update for the app, a notification that you are full

That'll be a nifty feature. I've been burned many times.
