I think this app has great potential. However, until quote, read first unread, and having to login each time I post are fixed, I'll probably continue to use the browser version on my phone. In the app's current state it's just not useable for the way I use the site. Once those things are fixed I'll probably ly transition over, though.

no its all messed up. extremely small text and no zoom function, droid 2
All,

Thank you for the info. The font change was not intentional and I am not seeing it on our test devices. We did tweak the layout to make room for a quote button but it should have been a very minor change. I understand that one user using a Droid 2 is seeing a different font. Can anyone else who has started to see a problem let me know what phone they are using so I can try to find a pattern? In the mean-time, I'll analyze the changes we made and get this fixed ASAP.

Josh.

Edit: Disregard the request for more info. I have identified the problem. It looks like a file was corrupted as part of a late update so our styles aren't being properly applied. We will get it fixed ASAP.

Until we can sign in permanently and go to first unread, I am sticking with the mobile web.

The app does keep you signed in permanently. It will show the username/password box, but they will be prepopulated with your username/password after the first time.

First unread is not yet available, but it is on our list. I'm afraid I don't have an ETA at this time.

when will you update the app again to make it readable again??

The fix is a server-side change and will not require an app update. I have emailed the fix to Chris and the app will start working again as soon as it gets uploaded to the server. (You may have to click the refresh icon to make the app update the styles from the server, but it should be otherwise automatic.) I will post here when the fix has gone live.

Josh.
