. Any thoughts on my comments a few posts up and speaking of pet peeves
, I've searched but can't seem to find an answer to this- is there a way to have the little translucent black formatting bar not show up in the post or reply box and be an option to bring up when you want to format?
The formatting bar is a standard editing feature, so it's not user-selectable.

but more often than not, I end up hitting the reply button when trying to expand the chevron
Could the subscribe feature at the bottom of the screen moved as again, with my fat fingers and flipping fast to the bottom of the page, I am hitting the button
I do like the go to first unread feature but it doesn't work properly as there is no sync to what I read on-line to what I read on the app as when I use the feature on the app, it takes me anywhere from the first page to the second to last page and never the last unread post I viewed. Also, on a one page thread on the app, if I hit the last unread option, the page does not go to any post at all but rather the "little wheel" just keeps spinning around
Is there anyway to mark forums read as there is with the on-line/browser version?
Also, I have noticed that the app crashes much more than any previous version and usually after I make a post or hit the log out button
Thanks
We're working on stability issues.
As to the button placements, there is so little real-estate to work with on the iPhone screen I'm not sure what can be done that also *looks* good.
On the synch question: the "last read" function is cookie-based, not database-cached, so it will only track what you do on your phone OR computer, but it won't synch them both "per account".
To mark forums read, you must click on them, then the blue dot disappears indicating they are read.
I don't quite understand that. It seems like my PC browser correctly recognizes the last read message from my iPhone, but not vice versa, which is a major annoyance.
Also, the app doesn't list my subscribed forums, just subscribed threads, and there doesn't seem to be a way to move up from a thread to the parent forum. On the whole, the mobile web version is easier for me to use, but the app version looks better and has good potential with just a few more tweaks and bug fixes.
