Forum Feedback TE Android app bug

[cranky]

Hi

'Participated' thread view does not auto-update the order of threads for the last two days. Have to scroll through full list to see which ones have new posts. 'Unread' and 'All' work fine however.

Strange. My app always shows the threads in the last post order under 'participated'. Can you post a screenshot?

 

[cranky]

It's realy odd because the issue seems to be fixed. I will post when it reoccurs.

 

[cranky]

Here ya go...

And again.

See the dates and times on the posts.

Is this thread being watched?

 

[Renegade]

Yep this is being watched however there are no updates as of now.

On another note, the app marks the forum as 'Visited' after it checks for updated threads, even if I just dismiss the notification.

Participated - Threads in order of thread start date (threads you have posted in)
Favorites - Threads in order of last post date (threads you are watching, threads get watched by default if you have participated in it)

On another note, the app marks the forum as 'Visited' after it checks for updated threads, even if I just dismiss the notification.

Can you please elaborate on this on what is the expected behavior.

Request to make 'Participated' also in order of last reply and not thread start date. The current behaviour is not intuitive. This is because the app has no notifications if I visit the forum within the check interval.

Can you please elaborate on this on what is the expected behavior.

Ideally, only if I actually open the app and visit the forum should it mark the forum as 'Visited'. Not a big niggle, but helps usability.

Unfortunately its a default forum search feature which serves a different purpose and cannot be changed (not by me anyway).

 

[cranky]

Does not substituting it with a 'Watched thread' functionality serve similar purpose, if at all possible?

I am not the app or forum developer and this is not a bug. I can raise it as a feature request to the developers but those things take time if at all considered as both are COTS products.
