Ooh. I like the little pop up for post replying.

On a different note: not all links on the home screen open up the thread. I can’t find a rhyme or reason for it. I just know not all the links open.

It looks like returns for new lines didn’t work in my last post.
Return

Extra return for a space and now this line.

When I first open the app while iPad mini is in landscape mode, it opens in landscape mode. As soon as I go to Forums, it immediately flips to portrait mode.
Thanks!

Pictures still not working on Android Pixel 3 XL running Android 10. Interesting note, i was looking at the "Michael and Corrie at the Adventure Expo" in Costa Mesa thread and the first post has an image on it that does show up. I'm guessing it's because it's embedded versus being linked but maybe it can help track down the image issue on the later versions of Android?

Here's a small bug I just found.

The last option that was chosen from All posts, watched or read later at the top of the forum page remains selected when we navigate off the forum page and back from another option.

Example.

From the home page, go to forum.
Choose "watched" at the top.
Go to "By Category"
Scroll down an choose OB Support. You see 0.9 alpha, it says there is 3 threads.
Select it. The watched filter is still active and you only see the threads you follow or a blank page if you follow none in that forum.
