    Hi Guys,

    Surely it's a long time coming for boards to release an official android/ios app? There are a couple of unofficial ones available for Android but they're fairly crap. Any sign of this happening any time soon? Get with the times and all that :D

    I think they mentioned it in the Q&A video last month..I can't exactly remember what was said though. Anyway, the touch site really annoys me. I can't wait for an Android app but I have a feeling they'll make an iOS one first..

    Watch the Q&A if you ever get time

    Yeah the touch site is fairly awful in fairness! Hopefully they release both apps at the same time though, don't see why iOS should get one first when you have as many people if not more on Android.

    The way polls look in it they come up all over the place, I also find when you're scrolling through the "home page" browsing posts, it loads the same ones more than once (what I mean is you click to go to the 2nd page and half the posts from the 1st are still there).

    Have you an example of a poll that come's "up all over the place" and would you mind dropping a picture on here with some details on your phone?

    That second issue is a problem with our API, which the phone app would use that too so it's not going to magic that problem away. A fix for that issue will be implemented in the near future.

    That's it there, my phone is a Samsung Galaxy S2, hasn't been modded or rooted or anything like that, if you click that link even from a desktop you can see what I mean about the poll.

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
