Mobile Suite Problems

[Kaitou Ace]

I am running the Android app, on my vb 4.1.3 forum @ animeforum.com

My current list of issues:

The app does not let me log in under any account. The return message is always either "Unexpected server response" in which case I can post as if I am logged in, or it times out.

A large amount of threads cause the same unexpected response error when I attempt to load them.

I can only view the thumbnails of attachments, and since bbcode doesn't work, neither do inline attachments.

Bbcode and polls don't work, but I gather thats just not important.

Posting via the mobile app ignores my signature default and doesn't include it.


Customization-wise, changing the grey-white gradient behind all the lists and the voice bubble image used for post count would be great. Especially as that image has a cropped shadow on the right and bottom sides.


General usability-wise, it's rather counter-intuitive to only show the thread starter instead of the last poster.

I can't submit the app to the android market as-is currently. At least the server errors have to be corrected somehow.

Thanks! I already figured at least part of it out, and had a different way of detecting the API, but this method is better and I'll adjust my product tweaks to use it.

The rest of the issues still stand however,

• No polls
• No BBCode
• Can only see thumbnails of inline attachments
• Can't customize the white gradient background in forum/thread/post views
• No way to see when a forum has had new posts from the forum listing
• No way to see who posted last in a thread or when it happened
• Signature doesn't get attached to posts made via the app.

And a strange one:

The new post text box, at least on my phone [Epic 4G] had an issue, where the auto-correct settings don't work in it. Normally when typing on the phone it knows to start each sentence with a capital letter, auto-caps "i" and auto corrects a bunch of common typos. That doesn't happen when posting on the forum. Is that something that can be changed?
