Sorry it took so long. Apple is finicky, and slow, about approving their developer accounts and the first one I submitted under the BroncosForums.com name they rejected, and I made three trips to Europe this spring/summer, so I kept back burnering the resubmission.

Realized that the pics that are embedded are not displaying. Only showing the embedding codes.

The app is programmed by vBulletin, and only customized for BF. It's probably one of their known bugs. Hopefully, they will be releasing an update soon that addresses some of the bugs.

I know they are testing a new version of the Android app now, not sure about the Iphone.

Maybe it's just what I've gotten used to, but I prefer the mobile site at this point.

Tned is right. I use another app with mobile vbulletin and that one doesn't display smilie code or pics either...

One thing that would be cool is if landscape was supported. It gets annoying to type out long posts in portrait mode...

Oh and it'd be nice to be able to hi five members for posts...

Good work T. I like the app a lot. Any plans for the iPad app?

I haven't seen any announcements from vBulletin about it. I'll keep an eye out.

No worries. The iPad is about as easy to type on as a laptop once you get used to it. Was just curious. The iPhone app works pretty well though. I like it. It'll be good for posting on the fly.

Thanks. Downloaded and though it has crashed a few times, probably more practical than Safari.

Guess hi-five is not supported in this version?

No, and unfortunately, it likely never will be. The mobile version is part of a mobile suite that I purchase from vBulletin, and then am able to customize through a 'very' limited wizard. The hi-five system is a add-on/mod to vBulletin, not part of their main system. Unless they give the ability to add third party modifications in the future, Hi-fives will never be part of the mobile apps.

Maybe it's just me but I can't seem to view only new posts. It puts me on the first post of threads that are way old. Am I doing something wrong? Is there a setting somewhere I'm missing?

No, it's a bug in the mobile app that vBulletin hasn't fixed yet. They are testing new versions of the apps and I am hoping they release them soon, and also hoping that's one of the things that has been fixed.

For the money VB makes, they could of came out with a much cleaner product.

You should have screenshots from your version.

Good point on the screen shots. I also agree on the mobile version. Since it is an annual fee, it will probably wind up costing more than vB itself.
