Alpha 0.8.37 Build Patch Notes

[Michael]

Installed, thanks!

Running Android 10 on a Pixel 3 XL two bugs noticed:
-Nothing under "My comnunity" is select-able.
-Posts with pictures, pictures don't load or app crashes when trying to load them

Crashes SHOULD be fixed in .37 build.

Installed.

First request for messages is the ability to view the message dialogue when relying. Similar to what you would see in iMessage or other chat software. If you forget a question that the person asked, the only way to refer to the message is to cancel what you’re writing.

Good suggestion.

FORUMS:
Search button doesn’t work.

Known issue.

Fisrt post from app...
Two issues...
1. When replaying the first line and a half of text are off the top of the screen.
2. Alerts are in ascending order.

@Prerunner1982 (just testing)

Sorry to do this to you, but please update to v 0.8.37 and see it the issue persists.

@Michael is there a refresh function in the Android version ?

I was reading the thread, posted a reply on the PC but could not find a way to refresh on the app, I had to close the topic and go back in.

Posting this from the app so I no longer have the issue with the keyboard hiding the text box.

The swipe gesture no longer crashes the app in posts with pictures.

There should be a refresh...pull down. If that does not work, please let me know!

 

[Michael]

How do you get to the new build? I went back to the original link and despite re-downloading, and re-installing I'm stuck on the 8.35 build

Try again and let me know!

Trying picture attachment.

I see it on my pc but not in the app.

I see it in iOS, perhaps an android bug?

The refresh pull down works on a list of topics and it is a good thing to have because those are sorted by date/time in descending order. But reading a topic is a different story, there is currently no refresh pulldown and I think it would no be a good thing to have it because the posts are sorted by date/time in ascending order so each time we want to refresh we would have to scroll all the way up to the page and then all the way down again.

Is there any such thing as a refresh pull up in mobile apps ? That would be the solution I think.

Ah! Same on iOS. Good suggestion!

I thought maybe I can give you a few more details on this pictures bug.

The pictures don't show up in posts but their links are there. When I touch the area of a post where the picture should be, a picture viewer comes up. It is black with a loading animation that never stops.

A similar thing happens when trying to view by Category. Every category shows a white loading animation that never ends.

It looks like the problem is with loading the pictures, not displaying them.

Yes sir. Done did it.
Reply text is now visible.

Thanks Michael, lookin' good so far.

Here's 2 small suggestions for a future update.

In the top part of the home page where our name, rank and other stuff appears, it would be nice to have a small Bell icon when we have new notifications.

When reading a topic, the button to go to the last page takes us right to the end. The button for first page takes us to last post of that first page, wouldn't it be better if it went to the top of the page. Last page: end of topic, first page: beginning of topic.

Here is the design for new notifications. What do you think? If you have a new Message, Notification, Status Update, the hamburger menu will have a dot. When you open the menu, the specific item will have a dot. This is in the current sprint.
