IMPORTANT: HUGE update to AndroidForums.com

[Thom]

Possible bug, the mini avatar that appears when you reply to a thread might not be showing up on threads created from the app.

It does not show up when you list the new "area".
... and ...
It does not show up in a "new posts" listing.

When I come into Android Forums each time I list the unread posts that I follow. The first thing I then do is to scan for any that I have responded to. This is not currently possible.

Well, let's wait for the theme to launch cough don't have to wait long cough before we get into workflow issues at this point, as that will solve some and introduce some others.

...but, help me out, what is 'gronk' lol.

Refers to this idiot.

Well I agree and disagree.

Indeed the new theme does "gronk". However, it has nothing to do with football, idiots, or that guy.

However I must ask. If "gronk'd" means, to be owned, or shown up - why would he be saying "let's get gronk'd!".

Should he not, instead, be saying "Let's gronk some fools!" ?

I really wish you people would stop messing with my language!

The app needs navigation buttons at the top of the page too.

I don't write the slang.

So I just noticed a couple bugs on the "My Stuff" tab. One is that my Avatar if overlayed on the Channel Icon giving the appearance that my avatar is farting bubbles.

The second issue (blacked out) is that my name appears instead of my username.

 

[Phases]

lol farting bubbles.

Posts won't use your real name though - and no one sees that but you, right?

 

[Thom]

no one sees that but you, right

No one but me and anyone else who happens to glance at my screen.

It should be the site name (like Thom) and not a given name. An alternative would be to exclude the name entirely ... I know who I am.

I don't disagree with that, but realistically, there are many apps and their sections that do that. Gmail for example, right in its menu section too. It's not uncommon?

But, I do agree it should show what our chosen username is on the site.

 

[AnciusD]

As long as the new posts from favorites function still works, I'm ok. Using an app is out of the question.

+1
This is sometime in the future right? (Chromebook)

So long as I don't post screenshots. That's probably more of a staff concern, but something to think about from a privacy standpoint. I'd like to see it display my username personally.

Liking the last post on a thread scrolls the screen up a couple posts.

Agreed. Username, not real name on screen

 

[bberryhill0]

That's amusing. I got a notification for this thread in old tapatalk.

How does AF actually get and show one's real name? My username is "mikedt", and that's it I think. I've never put my full real name into my profile details AFAIK.

My real name is associated with the gmail account I registered with, so when they linked the two for the app they got it from my google profile.

 

[Phases]

Yep, from google profile.

 

[dontpanicbobby]

"Gronk" means "Grok" I misspoke in that post.

Could have been Patriots fever but it was probably auto-correct.

Or the Russian hackers who have had everyone's Google credentials for 2 years.

Get ready!

 

[Xyro]

Downtime is expected to be less than 5 hours

See you guys next week!

 

[Clementine_3]

5 HOURS???
What am I supposed to do for that long? Geeze

 

[Unforgiven]

Get ready!

Am I going to lose 10,000 likes on this update like the last one?
