    Forum runner on iPhone?

    It's kinda glitchy especially as far as viewing recent subscribed posts. Anyone know if this is going to get fixed?

    Dunno.

    I've been using ForumRunner for about a year now but never use the thread subscription feature.

    There have been many revisions and updates in that time, however.

    I'd email the developer. Most respond well to email inquiries.

    I love FR but I wish they would fix the participated threads.

    I have a hard time getting rocketry planet. In fact I have never been able to get it since switching to FR about a month ago.

    RP is a heavily modified version of vBulletin and the FR module didn't play well with it.

    For the record RP never worked properly on FR for me and I've used it for over a year.

    Works pretty well. I saved rocketry forum as a favorite and it put it on the opening page but with no icon? Easy to get here now but an icon would be nice .

    You should be seeing an icon.

    You might want to delete the favorite (TRF) and then save it again.

    Hmmm....interesting. I just checked mine and found it's the old icon from the previous version of TRF. Perhaps there's some issue with the new TRF logo?

    Just deleted my old TRF forum and added a new favorite. This one has the new logo. SWEET!

    I know Forum Runner didn't immediately update the logo for me. I think I had to delete the favorite, then re-add it.

    I've reported the issue regarding the Participated threads; might be a good idea if those using that feature head over to their forums, and report it, as well.

    If one or two of you having problems with the "Participated" feature could head over to Forum Runner Support and give them more information, that would be appreciated.

    In the Android FR app, things seem to work well WRT subscribed threads (haven't tried "Participated") and I still have the old logo... but... forgive me Kevin... I kinda preferred the old sleek logo rocket!

    Well THAT is the ticket. After playing with this for some time I think this is what is happening: PARTICIPATED means these are threads that I've posted to while using my iPhone - not all the threads I've posted to. I have my account set up to auto-subscribe in every thread I post to so the key to do what I want it to do on the iPhone is to look at the subscribed threads. So I guess this is not really a bug...but a feature.

    Kind of an odd way to set up the app but whatever.

    Got called in for jury duty tomorrow so I plan to do a lot "ForumRunning" until I'm released or empaneled.

    Hopefully the former as the latter might adversely affect my plans to drive down to Dairy Aire on Friday.

    Totally disagree, I want it to show every thread I've posted in from most recent to oldest just like it used to. Anything but that is a bug. I only subscribe to individual threads of my choosing. I don't want to or need to subscribe to every thread I've posted to. Not Troj's or TRF's problem, it is FR's problem.
