TMS App Update and Option
All-
Received an update from IB regarding an option to using the current IB TMS App, and an update on our new App . .
Received an update from IB regarding an option to using the current IB TMS App, and an update on our new App . .
We have a pretty awesome option available right now for the mobile users, actually. If they visit themustangsource.com/forum over their mobile browsers, they'll see the new mobile template. It's a serious improvement over the IB Auto Group App because (1) it works and (2) it comes with some features that weren't there before.
- Avatars are now shown in small circles next to the username
- Star icon on every thread allows you to subscribe/unsubscribe to threads
- OP is highlighted throughout thread
- Top left hamburger menu icon shows number of unread PMs
- If you have advanced editor enabled you will see icons to add bold, italics, hyperlinks, images, etc.
It's the best option until the new app arrives because all hands on deck are on making that thing real. April doesn't seem like an impossible dream! *fingers crossed*

Posted in the other thread, repeated here for this one because important, and maybe it'll go up the chain and get it fixed.
---
I've figured it out.
The errors happen on topics with embedded pictures, such as Arin's II build or the hood ones where the seams are being posted.
They got some 'splainin' to do....
Also, I think it's SERVER side, as I've been happily using the OLD TMS app until this started up. I then downloaded the IB app a couple of days ago, thinking "well, maybe it's time I get with the times", and same thing.
I only use them to read the topics, I don't post using it, 'cause smartphone virtual keyboard (siphons with a large amount of negative pressure.)
For what that's worth.

So their "awesome" solution is for everyone to just use the same half-assed mobile website that every website has?
No app = No website.
I've never seen a website try so hard to chase away its users/*customers*. Be sure to tell the owners "good job." I've been here since 2004, and they finally chased me away. Bye.

At the end of the day TMS is just a website, but I apologize for the issues if people wish to remove themselves from the site due to some technical difficulties.

Do you want your account closed?
There seems to be an issue with many of IB's sites for some reason. F150forum.com is also facing some issues. Not stating that as an excuse, but merely for the fact that TMS isn't alone with our issues.

I can imagine the headache this could give a person.
I also have been trolling the other web sights and it's just how you say. We are not the only ones having the issue.
I find it funny how it only effects my iPhone and not my iPad.
Let's not get hasty and start deleting our selves. Just look at it like a bump in the road. Two steps forward one step back.
I've just been using full sight for my iPhone it's not perfect but it works.

Im gonna just keep checking up on this section and then have some catching up to do in the regular threads when the app gets fixed. The app is just a simple convenience and amongst many things it doesn't always go smooth and I understand. Thank you for keeping us up to date Evil_Capri!
on my pc now....

Would be nice if the full site mode remembered what page I was on while using my mobile. It sucks trying to search through or remember what page I was on in a certain thread when some have over 200 pages.
If you go to the new posts tab on the side, it should jump to your last read post. Wish it would do the same for subscriptions.
