Any ideas - looks good though :thumbsup:

Sorry about that. I am not sure what that update was supposed to do but will get this looked into asap.
In the meantime if you have the app please do not uodate it just yet.

Sorry you are having problems. If you are using the app on a iPad then you might find that turning the iPad round the other way ie. from landscape to portrait then the buttons should work okay.
If you are still having problems please send me a PM and I will try to help.

Oh yes thanks Sarah. If you know the actual text code for the smiley then you can just type it. You can find out what the code is by clicking on the smiley when typing a post on the website forum.

It is something we might launch in the future if there is enough demand but the current growth area in mobile take up is with Android and iPhone.

Hi, I'm struggling a little...I have downloaded the android app on my phone and iPad version also.
I can't figure out how to post on either platforms but have been able to respond to this one which has confused me a little lol!
I have a menu along the bottom of the screen on both, but cannot find how to post still.
Also keeps saying access denied when going onto profile page...although has logged me in with no problems?!
Please help...I would love to get these working.

Hi
On my Android phone, if you select FORUMS at the bottom of the screen and go to the forum that best describes what your question is about, if you hold the button at the bottom right of your phone (or a menu button) it should say NEW THREAD. Then type your question.
I think profile denied as you are in moderation still so your priviledges are reduced. have to keep chatting!

Unfortunately we do not produce the forum apps, they are made by a third party company called Forum Runner who have been very poor at updating the apps to cope with new mobile devices and changes from Apple.
We are currently looking into finding another solution for the forums apps. Most of the features are still working but you may encounter the odd issue with some devices.
