[QUOTE="The Dark Wizard]Just insert the youtube URL into the post, should work.

[/QUOTE]
Worked like a charm, thank you.
 
I'm using an iPad 2 running some iOS 8, not sure which iOS 8.. Wizard was right, you should be able to just paste the link and then when you post it, the post will automatically format to the [MEDIA] BBCode

Yup just using the link on the post works as intended just like the site on a desktop.

Hmm, maybe this issue is an Android thing. And like I said, I tested both methods in my private workshop, so I know that they work. (^.^)
 



I would just like to point out that I was testing the BBcoding with



T Swizzle gem. That is all.
I can see the video just fine on my end :D
 
Ooooo time to list all the bugs I've found so far yes? Expect a short list soon! I will try to explain every one in detail.
 
Ignore this, I need it to screenshot for my bugs list.

I’ll start with PMs.


You already know of the notification issues I noticed so that’s covered.


Another issue is the fact that PMs do not have pages, rather they have the ability to scroll from the first to the last in a single page. NOT a bad thing BUT you see it doesn’t load the most recent. It starts directly at the bottom, not such a bad thing for a single page or two pages PM, or even a new one, but my god is it a pain in the ass when you’ve got pages of conversation between you and another or a small group.


Secondly for some reason ever so often when I do try to access the conversation I’m wanting to check the app crashes, then after closing the crash dialogue it reopens directly to that conversation. Leaving takes you back to the app boot screen and it loads into your inbox.


I’ve found that linking any sort of media results in the image box with the broken media picture, that little torn paper. Oddly enough the media is actually not broken but will refuse to register as unbroken and load no matter how many times I return to it.

The options to highlight all, cut, copy, and paste are all light grey just like the little bar they appear on, I have not a clue whether that is under your control but it’s also a pain because just look at it.

So another annoying thing is how the app reacts to users who have their profile set to be unviewable. See on tapatalk if you tapped one of them you had a screen that showed nothing really but you could still access the option to find their threads and replies to things. Trying to do that on the app kicks you back to the thread you clicked them from and says the user does not exist, making it kinda hard to access peoples threads or replies from the app.


This is what tapatalk does for reference.

Annnnd that’s all for now I believe. I shall continue sniffing out bugs.


The bugs mentioned are all Android bugs from a Galaxy Ace Style from Samsung, although I know not if mentioning that helps in any way.

Out of curiosity, is it the branded Tapatalk app?
Yes, we are currently using the build your own tapatalk framework, don't have the time or resources to make something completely from scratch. This is a good step forward.
 
[QUOTE="Jayden Kisubo]Is there going to be a windows app?

[/QUOTE]
Not at this time, sorry.
 
@LupusDeUmbra typing it perfectly should just automatically pick it up.
 
Alright, I didn't know if that would work since actual web view comes up with a little list of names to choose from and in-app doesn't

Soooo... Will this also be on thy Kindle Fire :3
Kindle uses the Amazon app store right? Or something like that?


The app is currently only available on Google and Apple stores. I have no idea about others but I do doubt it.


I could always be wrong though.

Well, it was really a joke post. But thanks for answering anyways dude :3
 
Im loving the app! It works very well to keep up when Im mobile and make quick posts, and is a lot simpler than navigating the mobile site. Dont get me wrong, the mobile version of the site is great, but when Im in a hurry, the app makes navigation through my notifications much quicker!


Ive only noticed a few things.


Most notable is how the app affects my site notifications. I could be mistaken, but this has only happened since installing the app, so thats what Im going with. Usually, you get one notification, and it says there might be more posts after the one it is notifying you for. It keeps it neat and tidy, one notification for each thread.


But since installing the app, I get a notification for each and every new post. I can appreciate that I get notified on my phone for every post, so that I know how far people are going/how soon I should check (I open the app to the "subscribed" part, so I can go striaght to the first unread from there). But this is also happening on the original site. When I log-in, theres like 50 notifications sitting there, instead of like 3. If I click on the wrong one, let's say the 9th unread post, for a given thread, I miss the 8 posts before it that I didnt actually read. It can easily be avoided by going to my Watched Threads, but its a little inconvenient.


Also, the site doesnt know when Ive seen a notification on my app, so sometimes I log on my laptop and have to sift through a bunch of notifications Ive already seen. Again, can be avoided easy enough, but its a little irksome.


I have no idea how app-site interaction works, so I totally understand if this is too complicated to do with the framework we're using, but I thought Id mention it ^^'


The rest of it are very small, the first of which is that when I open the "subscribed" part, every single time, it pops up saying "no favorites" at first. This is fixed by hitting the refresh button, and then all my watched threads are there with unread right at the top (which I just love). Its not a big thing, just something that Ive noticed. Without fail, it comes up that way the first time, but refreshing always fixes it *shrugs*


Ive also had a bit of trouble with some of the BB Code, but I can jump to the mobile site with the handy button for heavily-formatted posts, so its no big deal.


(sorry for the big post ^^')

Shot you a quick PM.
 
Would love it if the Facebook login is also available in the app, since my account is a FB one

It's not letting me swipe to change pages, and there isn't a button to jump to the end of the message... @_@ and this message is over 600 pages long. When I click the 3 dots, all my drop down menu says is "reply" (which is why I took a screen shot for ya)
