Seems to be an inconsistency in the actual BBCode. I will make a note to fix that. Thanks for pointing that out!

Spoiler: This one will work in app

tada. I need to just make my regex smarter... give me 5 hours :/

EDIT nevermind. Will fix this. I think something is intercepting the click so should be an easy fix.

I now have ADS. Please remove them.

Opera on phone has ads.
AF app on phone does not have ads.
Internet Explorer on Windows 7 has ads

@Phases should be able to help with that.

Anyone having issues with logging in to the app? Had a few bad reviews stating they were being asked to log back in and done other weird behavior. I'm not experiencing any of this but will be investigating more today.

 

[lunatic59]

I just set up a new G6 with the app yesterday and only logged in once using my Gmail account. I am not seeing this but maybe it's related to AF credentials.

New update just published...

- Fixed login bug
- Fixed spoiler bug

Tapping the Camera icon when replying to a thread (like this one) causes the app to immediately crash.

Sure does! I have a few other bugs to fix tonight so one more won't hurt ☺️

Will most likely push this live a few hours from now but I figured @codesplice has a bunch of pictures to take and post to the forum

What is fixed:

• Camera button (also improved support for older devices while fixing that new bug)
• Share intent (was crashing for everything... all fixed now)

Hooray!

FYI, I modified the first post for a SPOILER syntax that I am not currently parsing correctly... on purpose

I have a request in to get some API additions because formatting in spoilers is a mess.

So here's an interesting one. When I view @lunatic59's N6 Retirement Party thread on the website, it correctly appears in the Nexus 6 channel:

When I view it in the app, the header suggests it is in the Nexus 6P channel:

If I browse the Nexus 6P channel, though, it's not in there.

And a moderator bug:
If I try to mod-edit the first post of a thread by tapping Menu > Edit Thread, it lets me change the title but the entire body of the post becomes blank.

Rotating pictures crashes the app.

This is like the best update yet. I can finally browse threads for other devices from the app! Woohoo!!

I'd buy you a beer, but I'm cheap. Here's a GIF instead:

@stevealbright regarding this channel.

I worked with this dev to create a channel for their app, but after they did the channel name created automatically is simply "HD" even though the app is "Find Differences HD." Said they downloaded our app and used it to post like normal.

Other app channels have been the exact name of the app, not sure if this was a error/bug.

Not sure how or why it was only HD but I updated the name. Tell them to pull refresh and it should show the change. Thanks!

I can't. The list of devices that shows up in the app is not complete, only a small portion of the list that can be seen via browser, and appears to consist mostly of older devices. None of them are loading any content for me (just a perpetual "loading" screen when I select one of them), the only exception seems to be the forum for my own device.
FWIW I have cleared cache and data, and logged out/in with no change.
Still an issue (maybe related) of a time limit for content viewable in the app vs. on the web.

Can you give me an example device you can not find in the app? Thanks!

The list apparently shows the 'top 100 devices,' but if you use the search bar you can find pretty much any device. Tap the '+' and it will be added to your list of communities, so you can view it from any device.
