Bimmerpost App 5.x WIP for Android

Not sure if this has been said...

On the website you can click near the top of the thread you are in to take you back to the main page for that particular forum, but there is no way to do that in the app. If I click to a thread from the notification page in the app the only option seems to be to click the back button which takes you back to your notification list.

Conceptually, if someone opens a thread from their notifications and they hit back, they will most likely want to go back to see the rest of their notifications.

Hitting back and going back to the main forum from a notification would end up confusing and frustrating most people IMO. In that scenario, how would you go back to viewing the rest of your notifications?

I agree. It couldn't be the same button. The back button should take you back to your notifications but on the website forum you can either click on the thread title or the particular form name at the top and there's not really a place to do that in the app. Just seems like something that would be handy if you get into a forum by the notification and then just want to go view the rest of the threads in that forum.

Ok I see what you are suggesting, a secondary navigation system at the top of threads. Something like that would not be that difficult to put into action. But I’m not sure about it. Mainly because it would go against the clear navigation strategies inherent in apps. Let me think about it some more and see if there’s a way to do it while maintaining a straightforward navigation strategy 👍

Not a biggie,

When I reply to a post, it'll show as many appreciations for my "new" comment as the post I replied to had. If I got back and check again, it's back to zero

Yes I was hoping nobody would notice that 😂
It’s been that way for some time, and has been a difficult nut to crack. Luckily not critical but it ends up being difficult to fix lol

Thanks 👍

I had noticed it since you went to v2.x but didn't think it was that important (and still think it's not) - just wanted you to know about it

My job is done

Another strange occurrence

The thread on the first image, indicates there is a new post. It's been doing that for two weeks now, without any new posts since May 19th.

That was already reported

OK this was fixed for that one thread, but it's actually a deeper issue related to the old iPhone app. Once the new iPhone app is released thus bug will be gone. So we have to deal with it popping up occasionally here and the for the time being

All good, except I run Android 12

New issue:

For a while longer than two weeks, in My Subscriptions section, all my threads appear in bold typeface meaning there's a new comment. When I visit, nothing new (that part isn't new). What's new is the fact that I have to go in and back out of the thread twice for it to go back to normal font.

When you have 20 or 30 threads you subscribe to, it becomes cumbersome to do this 60 times to know which threads actually have new content.

Just experienced the same behavior

Not a new issue, you reported it 1.6. Or it's not the same?

I did mention, first part was reported a while back. This is an additional fault on top of that

[snareman]

Do you know if there is any other staff around on this forum to answer some of our issues in other threads here?

This issue is extremely annoying, eta on fix?

Also, there is some weird behavior going on when trying to @ tag someone. For example was trying to tag @ Abdul but his name isn't even showing up in the list of names when I'm scrolling.
