Thanks!

I've put this on our suggestion-list, this might be an interesting option to add.

Thanks for your suggestion,

We've just finished implementing MultiLine-support for Topic titles (as an option). It will be integrated in the first update after the final release.

Thanks again for your suggestion.

@all who like the new version: Dont forget to rate it in the Marketplace, as this is a very important part of Marketplace. Good reviews and ratings are motivating us to improve Board Express and add a lot of new features. :-)

Bought BE Pro yesterday...great app and just convinced me within the first few moments. I am using it for a small private forum, pocketpc.ch and xda-dev.

Problem (or consider it as a feature request :) ) with xda-dev is the following:

I'm watching only the WP7 forums so the "Latest" section in BE is kind of unusable for me (showing threads from Desire HD Android dev and so on right now). Filtering on subscribed/favorite/favourite;) forums would be great.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Dumdidum:
Hi matzer

Thanks a lot your purchase and your feedback!

We are aware of this and already asked Tapatalk for an implementation of this.

They already started to implement it, but due to a big server load for additional needed sql-queries (specially on bigger VB-Forums like XDA), they have deactivated it. But they promised to look further into it and hopefully finding a solution. Implementation into Board Express would then be a matter of hours.

Until then, you could change the type of latests-topics upon startup to "subscribed topics" or "participated topics".

Thanks

One could let BE do the work... "subscribe" within the client, fetch all threads delivered by tapatalk and just do not display threads from forums which are not marked locally on the phone; resubscribing after phone reset or rom update should be ok, so no need to store those subscriptions somewhere online.

Same for the forum view where I now get a full list of all forums, but just interested in WP7. BE could hide the others/show them on a different page.

No high priority thing ;) Just an idea

This will generate too much data and take too long. Imagine someone who has subscribe 5 or more forums.

But I'm sure tapatalk will implement it as soon as possible.

This is implemented in the final version which just got approved by Microsoft and should be in the marketplace tomorrow. It will have the possiblity to subscribe forums and show only subscribed forums. (Synced with forum-software, so if you subscribe a forum on the web, it will be subscribed on Board Express too.

So: Final version inbound :-)

I'm having a weird issue with the trial of the Pro version.

Before the major update with the new UI, I downloaded the trial of the Pro version and everything was fine. After the update was sent out, I got a notification in the Marketplace to download the trial and when I tried to do that it would start downloading but almost immediately stop and disappear from my downloads queue.

However, the marketplace is still showing me that there's an update available and the new version was never installed. Every time I try to download the update, the same issue happens again.

Any idea why this is happening?

EDIT: Okay, so I guess I had to uninstall the trial I downloaded first and then go back to the Marketplace and download the trial of the new version. Very odd bug, but that was an easier fix than I was expecting.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Strutten:
Unfortunately all trials work like this.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Dumdidum:
Marketplace sometimes is reaaaaally strange...

Several updates that showed up on my Device in Marketplace where labeld as 634874 MB-size (!) ...

@all. The GUI beeing choppier is astonishing, as we did not change anything to the GUI thread since the RC1. But we promise to look into the issue tomorrow to. We will release an update soon with some bugfixes and the proposed multi-line-topic-support (optional).

Could you explain where exactly that it became choppier, in the thread-view? What we saw is that it might be a bit choppy while watching a thread with very long postings. A short explanation to this: First we tried to implement the (default) virtualized Stackpanel, which does not load all post at once, but while scrolling down, it is loading the next onces. This has some advantages but unfortunately also some disadvantages. The biggest advantages is a fast loading of the first 2-3 posts (as it then does stop loading). But if you have a DataTemplate which is a big bigger (as our's is, we are loading several informations for each post, such as poster image, name, time, post-content, title...), the loading of new posts while browsing down was just too slow / resulting in "white"-posts which are then loaded a little bit later. After some discussions, we decided to load all posts of one view (10 posts) at once, but asynchronious. This is resulting in a bigger memory load, but then while browsing down, it shouldnt reload. But on biggest postings, this can be a bit choppy.

Due to the fact that XDA-postings are often long and very informative, the non-smooth browsing does sometimes occur.

But as promised, we will look into this to find hopefully a way to load it a bit smoother. Unfortunately as we saw other apps, we arent the only ones fighting with this.

Thanks for your understanding :-)

How to tell the difference between read and unread thread?

Sent from my HD7 T9292 using Board Express
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] evolutionqy7:
Missed the reply before :)

First when i heard that the update was out i went to check the marketplace and it showed 0 updates. Then i found manually Boards Express and when i looked at it, it wanted me to buy it again.

Next day i think i checked still no update auto shown. But when i went and found it again it was showing me i can update it.

Weird :S

[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] :
Thanks for the new version guys. Looks really good!

A few things:

- As mentioned, performance is quite poor with scrolling up/down & left/right on XDA. (View with latest/forums/messages/etc). This is on my Omnia 7.

Are you using the LongListSelector from the SL Control Toolkit? I usually find using this instead of the standard ListBox gives some poor performance.

- Would it be possible to move "Messages" & "Search" into the menu? And maybe it's just me, but the "Latest" topics from all forums on a website is something I would never use.

- On the list of Forums on a site, the name of the forum should wrap

- Lastly, I would also like some way to identify unread topics.

You can identify an unread topic (in latest or forum view) by the colored date/time.

The date will be in the accent color (=color that you have selected for your live tile background).

Its like the system email.

[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] :
Thanks for the tip on unread topics. I suppose I never notice on XDA because there's so many they're pretty much always unread!

Also, trimming down XDA forums to my 6 most read forums seems to have sorted out the performance issues.

Another little quirk I noticed is in the Settings pivot, numbers are separated by apostrophes (') rather than commas (,).

Overall though, this version is absolutely awesome. So much better than the last. Definitely worth the few quid for the Pro version.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Dumdidum:
Great, we are still looking into this. We could load it asynchronious (only 10-15 items are loaded), which is faster, but will result in reload-time while scrolling down fast.

But on a big forum, using favorite forums is a must have anyways.

I will put this on my todo-list on the next forum. Here in Switzerland, we are using apostrophes, but we will try to implement a globalization-aware formatting :-)

Thanks a lot, thats really nice to hear as we've spent an uncountable amount of time into this project (with which we wont earn a lot, so every purchase helps us to develop it further).

Thanks,

Hi all

Version 2.2 is in the marketplace (pro version).

We have disabled the full load of each post, so browsing is faster, buuut as you can see, if you browse down very quickly, the end of the listbox gets overshot. I think that we will go back to the full load.

One question though: After updating from 2.1 to 2.2, did you loose your favorite forums (xda and others). We had reports that forums got lost while updating before, but it did work on our account now. (Without changing any code..... MS-logic)

Thanks

[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Dumdidum:
Hi

Toast notifications for subscribed topics will not be supported anytime soon. There is a simple reason for it: Traffic. This would generate way too much traffic on our servers (handling) and on Microsofts push servers.

Sven
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] :
You could offer users a limited notification time, I.e. Only send toast notifications every 6 hours or smilar. So every 6 hours you receive a toast to say "X replies in Y topics"

Although I understand that toasts and tiles in general require a lot of bandwidth on an external server, which sucks because they are a very useful feature.

It could show replies to threads you're subscribed to in the app.

Private message count.

There are uses for a live tile.

But a Forum Live tile I feel would need to be a rectangular one...

Without any sort of notification I'll just wait for a free app, which I'm sure will inevitably pop up.

Have you tried subscribing to your favourite forums rather than the full list? That solved a hell of a lot of problems for me.

The performance is a general issue with third party WP7 apps and Pivot/ListBox controls - not the developers fault. Although there are various hacks and third party controls which try to address this, I would just wait for the first official MS update which is supposed to fix it.

Which device do you have? We had a similar behaviour on our Optimus 7 but it disappeared after a softreset.

This is a known issue with some boards and cannot be fixed by us, as Microsoft is using some high cookie security setting and some cookies are getting ignored.

It can be solved by the admin of mobinaute which has to set the correct cookie domain, then it will work.

We'll get in touch with them to ask them to change the cookie domain to the correct value.

Then the header comes up at the top and error:

Sometimes i cant get rid of the error easy cause it keeps reapearing without letting ya close the app

Sometimes it doesnt appear at all ( took me the third time to open the app to get what exact error it said )
