    Mobile App Issues

    Three things that occur on the mobile ForumRunner app for SMC.

    1 - cannot start or reply to a thread. If I try the app crashes and I have to restart the app.

    2 - cannot reply or even send a private message via the smc app.

    3 - every now and again apple sends me a notification stating that the ForumRunner app is outdated and needs to be updated soon. If not, it won't work with newer iOS releases.

    And as as far as the desktop site is concerned why is it that when I read a thread posts are sometimes not in chronological order? A reply from today will be sandwhiched between 2 replays from days ago. I also can't see all the responses to a thread and have to click on "more replies below" at the top of the thread. I have set my reply count for each thread to the maximum allowed.

    I have no experience with I phones or their software. I use Firefox on my android phone and tablet with no problems viewing and replying to posts on SMC. From a brief internet search, it appears that Forumrunner may not detect and run with any special scripts written by administrators using VB4 software.

    I also see the notes of "more replies below" when threads get a lot of replies and branches.

    ForumRunner has not worked since the first iOS 10 update. I took it off my iPhone when I found out that the developer has not released an update in more than two years.

    Have you tried different display options from the drop-down menu on the right-hand side of the header bar?

    I stopped using the App and only use the browser (Safari) on all my Apple devices (iMac, iPhone, and iPad). Since you can post photos from the mobile devices through the browser now, why use forumrunner?
