I went back through the entire tutorial thread, fixed the images in there as well to help walk you through the app. I tested it through the app and the photos even show up there now as well.
USER NAVIGATION
I know this has been one of the biggest issues with the message board on the app. I hear you loud and clear and our development team is very aware that a lot of users want a better way to navigate the boards.
* Some of have requested a back button at the bottom of the page so they don't have to scroll back up to the top.
* Some have requested the ability to swipe back to the previous page. I really like this idea and am definitely going to ask them how feasible this is.
* Some have requested for a button to take you back to the top of the board.
* Someone asked for a refresh button on the app. Another idea I like very much. Especially on game threads, you just want to refresh and even though there is an auto refresh on the boards, I think we all know it doesn't work 100% all the time.
* Some one also asked for an arrow button to take you to the top and bottom. I think that's a great idea when you just don't happen to be taken to the newest unread post in a thread.
* There was also a suggestion for the back button to be on the screen all the time.
* There was a suggestion that when you hit the forum button, it should take you back to the top of that forum and all the threads in it. I think that's good, but someone else suggested a 'back to threads' button which I think could do the trick. I use that a lot on desktop and iPad.
* There was also a request for a swipe back function while reading articles. I like that just like on the forums.
GENERAL BUG REPORTS
I would first suggest everyone login and logout of your app if you haven't done that since you started.
Notifications have been all over the place since we first started. There are still issues being addressed, but the biggest bug was fixed over the weekend. Every message board notification took you to the message board index to show all the forums available.
Now forum notifications are taking you directly to the thread. Sometimes I find it takes me exactly to the post, and sometimes I'm still getting just the first post in the thread. Hopefully that can be more stabilized.
But it looks like the development team has gotten a grasp on the biggest bug with notifications and a few tweaks still needed.
* There have been some login issues that people have had on the app. Sometimes logging into the app logs them off of their desktop or tablet. The development team is aware of these issues. They are working to identify it and believe it can be traced to certain accounts on Rivals. If you are having these issues let me know and I will have them check out your account.
* People were not able to see pictures or gifs through the app, only seeing . That has been addressed this weekend and images are showing up tonight. We'll keep an eye on that. Let us know if it is working for you or if you are having some issues.
* There have been some keyboard sticking issues on some Android phones. Like the following:
A problem I have found is that I can scroll down to the reply button after I type my message. I have to click back on my phone to drop the keyboard first. Minor annoyance, but it is very annoying.
If this is still a problem for some of you, please let me know.
ANDROID SOFTWARE VERSIONS
This is an important note about those of you using Android phones about what software versions you are using.
Currently we support devices with Android 4.4 or newer. Galaxy S4 started on 4.2.2 but can be updated all the way to 5.0.1, and should work fine. If they update the phone's system software to/above 4.4 and still have trouble, let me know.
GENERAL APP FEATURES AND OPERATION
* I understand that you would like to be able to view the app in landscape or horizontal view. It does not support that yet. They looked at it and the message board was doing some funky things in horizontal mode so they scrapped it for the release. It's something that they are planning for the future though.
* No commitment lists, recruiting database or recruiting search. We understand this is an important feature. It's just not available with the first release. Everything has to come in time.
* Clear all for notifications tab button. I believe that is about to be solidified for the next version. If you are away from your phone for a while, it can be hard to get to every notification that has piled up.
Please let me know if there is something I missed that you suggested or something else you wish to add. We're really excited about the new app, what's to come in the future, and glad everyone is helping us to make it better.
