    posted from the iphone/android app

    I've noticed that on this forum when you post from your phone, there's a little message under your post that says something like "Posted from the Iphone App" or android app. This links you to your android or iphone app. This is not the case when I post on my own forum. Is there a way to activate this feature on my own forum?

    Thanks

    what version you running cause

    Posted from iPhone App & Posted from Android App = was added to vb 4.1.7

    Posted from Facebook App = was added to vb 4.1.8

    So if you are running a version prior to 4.1.7 then doesn't have this ability and you would need to upgrade it

    If you are running 4.1.7 or later then go to Admin CP > Settings > Options > vBulletin API Mobile Application Options

        API Device Identification
        Threads and Posts generated with applications that utilize the vBulletin API can be publicly tagged and identified with a device signature that will appear in the post. You can add additional links to your Apple iTunes and/or Android Marketplace to promote your applications. If the option is enabled but the link definition is not defined, the signature will still appear on the post but not be clickable.


        I have the above set to yes. I have 4.1.9, my posters are posting from the android app but this is not working. (iPhone app not approved yet)

            This is what I have set to yes. I don't have any of the URLs, do I need something in there? I would think the app would pull the device info from the device. So each post would end with "posted from my iPhone" or what ever device.

                  Yes, from Android devices. The entire point is to steer people to your apps on the different markets.

                    This is a long shot , when you are using an Ipad and using the app and reply to a post it will not tag the bottom of the thread with Posted from iPad app . It just classes it a post replied by a browser.

                    Is there a plan to included differentiation for iPhone and iPad iPod touch and similarly to the Android tablets.

                      Shouldn't we be warning this guy not to upgrade to 4.1.9 / 4.1.10 because it was absolutely break his Android app rather than add functionality?

                              If you're using the app, it should be picking up that it's from the App, not a browser. I'd raise that as a bug that it's not flagging it as coming from an app
