That I don’t know about, that’s between you and Apple Inc. 😂

But in all seriousness, are you 100% sure the password is correct? You are able to login from your desktop right now fresh with the same password? (Not using a PW manager)

In terms of the App, I can tell you what I think is happening is that Apple uses a different type of apostrophe ‘ symbol that’s not a standard character, in order to give it that curved look. So the app thinks you are trying to log in as someone else. I think I’ve made that correction and am just making a few more small corrections before sending this new version out.

I wonder if the iPad on safari is doing the same thing, but until today nobody else has complained about this, so I’m not sure

It's always Apple's problem.

I worked for Apple for 15 years and if I had a dollar for every time a dev or IT guy blamed Apple for something, I'd have retired 5 years earlier than I did.

I believe we have this fixed in the next update which is ready to go. Apples services for sending updates out are down right now so we just wait for them to get back up and we will have an update out to address this one 👍

Lol I hear you. Then again TestFlight is having a massive outage all day today 😂

But seriously, what do you want me to do about mobile safari? That’s totally out of my hands

Anyways TBH the app is just way better, especially when you need to handle attachments and such, so the update will be out to *hopefully* fix your login issue soon, once we can get builds signed again. And yes that one I can’t control 😀😀

But apple is usually really good about getting the services back up so I’m hopeful it will happen today at some point so I can get the update out tomorrow at some point. Fingers crossed

Well, it’s not mobile Safari on the iPad, it uses the desktop browser, but anyway, all of a sudden I was able to log in, so I have no idea what the issue is. And I am 100% on your side that the app has been a lot better, looking forward to using the updated version when you get it taken care of.

Awesome news on that front. On the app front we will get it working for you one way or another, I’m sitting here refreshing the apple page and as soon as I can get signing to work again ill have this next version submitted for approval. They got it out same day earlier in the week, so I’m still holding out hope for tomorrow 👍

Nice, can't wait to start using it.

I guess I am in the minority here in absolutely not liking the new app for forum usage. I use the forums everyday -- on it several times a day and now I have far less interest in checking in. In fact I am posting from a browser right now. I don't know what people had complaints about on the old app. It worked perfectly fine for me. The new app crams everything in with larger fonts, wasted space, post previews, and graphic headers. It causes all kinds of unnecessary text wraps for titles. I set my text to the smallest setting and I am on an Iphone 13 Pro Max. When you click into a message and hit back it loses your place. For some reason any thread has a big title in giant font that says "/thread". It just seems like a lot of wasted space / bad UI choices. The previous one worked fine all the time, was clean, and got you a lot info at once.

We have a new version uploaded to the App Store awaiting review that hopefully fixes it. Check the App Store for any updates tomorrow, Sunday and Monday. Crossing fingers for the update to come through over the weekend 🤞

Anyone notice that the app seems to not be able to handle attaching a RAW photo taken on an iPhone 14 Pro Max? The only way I can get the photo to actually attach to a post is to first make an edit to the photo, then it attaches in a matter of seconds. This wasn’t the case with the prior version of the app.

Thanks for the report. I see the problem and a work is in the fix. But this fix might take about a month to make its away to production 👍

Awesome. Thanks for investigating it and working on a fix so quickly.

Is there a way to see member’s signatures, like in the old app? Or am I just missing it?

[chicagofan00]

I noticed with the most recent update, if you delete all notifications they will clear but the count of them doesn’t disappear until you close out and relaunch the app. This wasn’t the case prior to the most recent update.

Successfully able to log in on the iPad and iPhone, thanks for the fix. Now I can take a deep dive on the app and see what's what. Thanks.

Thanks for the report, keep em coming as you see them

I was checking one of my subscribed threads and there was a YouTube video that autoplayed, is there a way to disable that? I didn’t see it in settings.

Is it always happening?
