True, but we I don't fancy that for a several thousand post thread!

Why not? I'm not talking about extensive preloading/caching. Just having, perhaps the page you're on, the page before and the page after at any one time.

As Chrosson added, they should have page indicators and the possibility to page jump (for those long threads).

I think this feature would work especially well if they introduce a "jump to last unread" option to threads.

I see what you're saying but then they'd still have to have a jump to option (even if they hide it away in the menu) for people who want to move through threads randomly without scrolling through lots. Plus I don't think they'd ever do it as it would stop them being able to put adverts at the bottom of each page. They could put it with the indicator but tbh I personally would hate having ads mixed in with posts, I think a lot of other people would too

I do agree about having a jump to last unread though, definitely a priority feature for me as I use it all the time on watched threads.

Are there supposed to be ads in this app? Or is that coming later?

They could be right ***** and have scrolling ads...


Really tho it may be an option to just not have ads on threads just everywhere else..

That would - you've convinced me there.

Only problem with page indicators is that the app currently allows you to set how many posts per page.


Also... the continuous page were talking about seems to have magically activated in threads for me...

Shouldn't be a problem unless people refer to page numbers in the posts. If I think a post is page 2 at the top and you think it's page 5 at the top, it makes no difference, so long as you know what you're looking for.

I don't have that behaviour...

I like the app a lot, it is really fast and responsive. The only downfall for me is when you are scrolling down a thread on the forums to the bottom, the big box with the link to feedback form gets annoying. I do not mind the smaller box at the bottom, however it just seems pointless putting a massive feedback link ad in there.

Well, I'm not sure actually, I assumed the 'feedback on the app' ads would just change to normal ads once the app is tweaked fully. But maybe not :?

I agree with your scrolling ad hate, I always click them by accident, so frustrating!

Yup - that is the plan. No scrolling, flashing, noisy ones

Sorry for not replying too much in this thread. I'm a bit buried at the moment, but keeping an eye on the thread, and will consolidate it all when I get a sec, so keep the feedback coming

In case you're interested, we're up to 269 downloads, 15 x 5* reviews, 1 x 4* review, and around 650 visits per day at the mo...I'm keen to turn signatures on to help spread the word a bit of "this was posted on the TSR Android App" type loving.

The Apple App is getting really really close now too

Keep those reviews a'coming, and the pixies will work even harder!

I wouldn't add the signature... the tapatalk one is seriously annoying.

If you want it to be indicated on the site then maybe consider a change on the site? Something out of the way similar in ilk to Facebook "posted via X" or something that's not in the post and is somewhat inconspicuous elsewhere.

A nice idea (maybe in the postbit, below join date etc), but that would consume dev time.

I wonder if they should maybe just 'purchase' one of their own ad spaces on TSR to show itself occasionally. Or maybe change the TSR logo to something android themed with a link next to it to a page with more details (although this might be better when both apps are out). The possibilities are endless.

I like the idea of this, as you say once all 3 apps are out...android, iphone and ipad...not long now

The app seems to cache the user avatars for last posts in watched discussions.

After posting and refreshing it shows my posy/username but the previous poster's avatar.

Forgot I had the app and still been using mobile browser

Notifications would be nice.

Push tbh.

They're planned, according to the OP. Though the option to turn them off for watched threads and just leave it for WQM would be nice else I'm going to be getting quite a lot of notifications.

Yeah, options are a must.
