Hi man,

thanks for highlighting these. and also explaining in detail, it's easier for me to diagnose the issue. okay i will look into it and see what seems to be the problem. what version of android are you using anyway?

will take note of the multiple image upload



Can't rmb if it's 5 or 6. I used on my other phone. Later I check then get back to you.

1) Like to be able to delete PMs selectively.

2) And be able to see at top, what sub-forum a thread belongs too, from within it.

3) Let the drop-down indicator be more consistent. Currently it's menu bar for child forums, and down-arrow for PM (inbox/sent) .Latter preferred, else mixup with left side menu.

hi guys,

haha, thanks for your concern. nothing much,it's just a small rant. i understand that i can't really please everyone. this is reality. people can make their own choice which app to use.

i have to remember that i'm doing all these for my own interest, learning and ultimately building my own portfolio, so all these don't really matter anymore i guess. :):)

1) this one no promise, need to see if i know how to do this. apparently, it's different from the usual HTML parsing i did with other pages

2) you mean inside the thread page, you want me to put the forum origin of the thread on the top?

eg:

Forum: Eat-Drink-Man-Woman(Small font)
Regina Kam part 15

3) i see, i understand that. the reason why i changed the subforum icon, is because the subforums is a list of menu. but for PM, inbox/sent is just two options. but you're right,consistency would be good. let me think about this.

Hi,

You mean forum sig as in the one at the bottom of every post, where it shows a picture etc? I feel that it looks more distracting. Most users dont care about those, they only want to look at the main post.

Yup, what I mean by show is show on forum. Not on app

Jump to page still having issue.

Currently in page 6.
Then I drag down to load previous page (5).
But loading takes awhile so I use the jump page feature.
Input 5 and load. It loaded page 5 but..

1. Got repeated post 3x.
2. Can't go to page 6 scrolling down.
3. when I go into the thread again, it reset last read to post #1.

Just realised your multi quote feature is one of the kind! Even default hwz website cannot achieve that!

Can slowly read through the thread and select the post until you finished reading all post and reply altogether!

All other multiple quotes on other platforms are replying 1 by 1 and have to copy and paste!

Thumbs up!

hi guys,

would like to ask. i'm planning to put the search button on top, because users can instantly search. i can put at the left navigation panel as usual, but there would be too much menus. too overwhelming i would say.

but if i put on the top, the subforum button have to be shifted. does it look ugly when i put it below the forum title?

Eh. Group the side panel menu?

Like main menu is profile. Sub will be notification, setting, etc. For example.

Default to show only the main. Then on click will expand the menu downwards.

The search button on the top seem ok. You can do like if overflow then the icon will be in the 3 dot thingy u know right? So depending on the user screen width. Some may show all icon. Some people may show 1 and the rest under the 3 dot.

ouh the top menu can't really auto collapse into overflow menu, it's fixed. i have to manually put two of the buttons into the overflow menu, then it would be neater on top. but i feel all of the buttons on top are equally important.

nvm, i think i just put the search button into the left navigation panel for now. and see if i can group it so that it doesnt look cluttered. thanks man

I mean this one. See this > https://developer.android.com/design/patterns/actionbar.html#organization <

Let action button auto overflow to action overflow menu, depending on the screen size dp, it should automatically flow for different devices.

For sub-menu in navigation panel can be something like this.

Wow a while no app update. Looking forward..

1) did I hear search (from above)? that'll be great!

2)Continuous scrolling of pics full screen within a long GPGT post (without returning to post toclick on next pic).

3) refresh button within thread.

4) PM notification or unread badge.
