Oh, and now the search feature for the boards refused to actually search ( I could type in the search word and choose between subj only and subj/body... but it wouldn't actually DO anything.)"
Because they don't care and that hasn't worked in a long long time along with other stuff.......

It's just the website with an app shell. Just put a shortcut to the website on your home screen. Same effect.

But wouldn't it be nice if they just FIXED the app? Or make a statement that they aren't going to bother? Or acknowledge they know there is a problem?
(But I had totally forgot that was a possiblitiy, so thanks.)

Why do so few people use the OT board now? I notice the board is not featured under the "chat" banner anymore... do you all know it is still there? Or have you just (understandably) lost all interest?

1) I'm not able to post from iPhone/Safari. When I was previously able to post, when you go in to edit a post, the text goes beyond the confines of the screen width.
2) the list of topics has returned to the top of the Board, even for those who have that function turned off in settings.

Post issue should be fixed; we’ve been making a few back end improvements this week which will be in advance of some search improvements next week.
apologies on the android issue, we have messages into the dev of that to see if it can be rectified

Yes, the topics list is back, despite me having it turned off in my settings.
Thanks Rob, for the check into the Android app!

I've done that a few times + cleared cache, but still shows up.

I have an Android phone (Pixel). I just use the browser. For some reason it is one of the only sites that hasn't popped up as a shortcut but I just type in the letter "B" and it is the first site to pop up. Probably since I pop in a lot. Still wonder why it hasn't popped up as a shortcut in the three years I have had this phone.

The "report to mods" button doesnt work on mobile (hasnt for months) and now it does not work on desktop. Crazy spam threads offering fentanyl and free passports need to be deleted I would think, so please fix it. It seems your staff is very limited these days but waiting months for a simple fix is slightly ridiculous.

FWIW, it looks fine on both my Mac (Chrome browser) and my phone (Safari).

And the account, thumbs up, and report links should all be happy again. More to come, as always.

It's still there, but not from the drop-down. On the black band at the top of the page, there are three buttons - Main Board, Off Topic, and Buy/Sell. That's the only way I've found to get there.

Seemingly unable to edit posts this morning. When going to post an edited message, we get:
