I see that vbulletin support is listed, but does it support the heavily modified Something Awful forums which is based on an very old version of vbulletin ?

It is a pay site and I would happily buy you a login if it meant support could be added.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] StenvenBex:
The app is not yet available for download :o
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] juelu:
At the moment, "Someting Awful" is not supported. Has the forum owner installed the Tapatalk Plugin? It's completely free. Please ask him to install Tapatalk and I'm confident, that Board Express will support "Something Awful" afterwards.

Sadly not - we, like many others, have big problems with the certification for the Windows Phone Marketplace.. We're working on it hard, but it seems that on every submission, Microsoft finds some new errors, some of them are not even listed in their documents..
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Tom Servo:
It'd be nice if some of you guys working on it take a really hard look at the Metro design specs. While the application idea is nice, it looks out of place. Make more use of different font sizes, proper padding and make use of the accent and ancillary colors, ditch as much of the lines as possible.

This won't happen. Matter of fact is, even tho the page bottom still says VBulletin, it's so heavily modified and parts rewritten, it's almost its own forum software.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] juelu:
We'll have a look into the design, as soon as the App is being published! First priority is to get the App in the Marketplace :)
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] federaly:
Not such a bad thing. I mean If I downloaded your app and it crashed/hung/froze/restarted/etc I would write the app of as crap and *maybe* never use it again. Look on the bright side of the situation :D
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] juelu:
Board Express runs very smoothly, no crashes, no hungs, no freezes, no restarts... since the first version, we submittet to the Marketplace (This was never a reason, why we did not get approved). Microsoft does not really test the above things.. A lot of Apps in the Marketplace are very laggy.. Microsoft tests other things, which sometimes are ridiculous.

One reason, why they did not approve our app, was the translation of "favorites" (Am) - we used "favourites" (Br.) instead. Microsoft told us, that "favourites" is german, which is 100% wrong ("Favoriten" is german), and that we need to translate everything, including "favourites". (They thought that we missed to translate "favourites")

Another reason was: We submitted a branded version for PocketPC.ch. PocketPC.ch is a Windows Phone 7 and Android Community, this was mentioned in the app description. "Android" is a bad word for Microsoft, so we didn't get approved.

Ridiculous is also, that Microsoft did not note every reason why we did not get approved on the first test, they found one new reason why we do not get approved on every submission. And on every submission, you have to wait 3-7 days until Microsoft checks your App again. And after every check, after you got the result, that your App has not been approved, you have to wait 1-3 days on the reasons, why your App did not get approved.

But good news: Today, the branded Client of PocketPC.ch got approved and we resubmitted the two Board Express versions and we hope that we get approved this time :)
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] juelu:
Finally, Board Express Pro got approved :)

Here's the link: Board Express Pro (Works only with IE). At the moment, Board Express Pro is not yet indexed in the Marketplace, this will happen in the next 24 hours.

We hope, that Board Express gets approved soon :)
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] juelu:
Weeehaa :)

Board Express is now available, too.

Here's the link: Board Express. (Works only in IE)
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Omega Point:
Just installed this on my Mozart. First great app, second, please give the option to remove the signature it inserts on posts or at least not link directly to your website.

I'm keeping my eye out for bugs.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] juelu:
Thanks a lot for searching for Bugs!

We'll publish an update, in which you can choose to remove or edit the signature, soon. That was already on our list :)
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] sp8y:
Since last weeks "update" it does show a "server connection error" but clicking OK still allows access to the forums.

Just tried it on my Lumia & it is currently working fine for me.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Lifear:
I couldnt find any Forums with this app. Every time it shows a warning that there is temporarly problem with the server. Tried it now since more than 4 days, with the same result. Free and Trial Version. Please fix this Bug. Version is 2.15
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] sp8y:
Just to update on this I have had another update to the app but the server still shows.

It allows access to forums that you already have saved but won't allow you to search for new forums so for new users it's pretty useless I guess...........
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Pikkuhannu:
Pro version won´t work at all, says "connection error".

Free version works, same error, but still works...

Edit: now works.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] nonblk:
tested again , works fine !
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] :
Have some problems with the pro version. I can see threads in the overview of my fav boards but I can't load the thread itself. Other functions works fine but without the content itself the app is useless.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] lrhage:
Can you see what's happen with this forum?

www.vandal.net/foro

It don't works. Thanks!
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] blucmal:
Was not sure were to post so put it here I bought the pro version of this app for windows Rt tablet and can't search or add any forums at all I get a network error message. I also sent you an email which you have not replied to how can I get it to work? I paid for it and can't use it not happy.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Vlad Paul:
Please add cyanogenmod forum in Board Express..and forum.softpedia.com. Very useful this app and looks great.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] TrashSlash:
now official tapalk app avalible in windows phone 7 market :)
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] dxdy:
and WP8 also ;) but no trial... only buy... if bugged as Board Express (search in Board Express for me not working for a months) not worth purchase... is someone tried?
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Vlad Paul:
Tapatalk for WP 7.X is free now in Marketplace :P
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] jcsy:
downloading Tapatalk now as its officially released :)
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Omega Point:
Got one. You probably should have failed certification for it too:

When I'm looking at any topic view (e.g the WP7 Soft Dev board here) the fields for Author, Last Poster[?] and Time[?] show up as : "Autor", "Letzter Beitrag" and "um".

Everything else seems to be in English but I haven't been though every possible menu combination.

I'll get round to regsiter on your forums at some point to post bugs there but this seemed quite an important one.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] juelu:
Thanks a lot :) We'll correct this one asap! Disabling and editing of the signature is implemented now. And per default, the signature is not linked.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Omega Point:
No problem. I'm registered on your support forums now so I will post any suggestions and bugs there.

For anyone else wanting to do the same the forum is at: http://www.board-express.com/forum/index.php
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] juelu:
Today, we're sending an update into the review process for the Marketplace.

Some new features (disabling signature, editing signature, spelling checker) and some bug fixing :)
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] juelu:
We have totally redesigned Board Express! Now it's a total WP7 Look and Feel :) (Thanks Omega Point for this tipp!)

At the moment, we're fixing the last bugs and will then have a betatest phase for this all new design.

We have implemented some exciting new features, too. You have now the option to go to the last unread post in a thread, which is a very useful feature. Then we have made the resume even better. Now you don't loose tipped in text (p.e. in a PM or in a post), when you close the program and reopen it. The new design and recoding makes Board Express even faster. Scrolling is now completely smooth, the forums load very fast, no more waiting times.

If you liked the old design more, you can still activate it.

The update will be completely free to all of our existing customers.

Here you can find the screenshots: http://www.pocketpc.ch/windows-phone-7-apps/108589-pocketpc-ch-app-8.html#post887166

We'll publish a video about it soon!

Do you guys like the all new design? What would you do better?
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] domineus:
it does look nice actually but I assume there is also the dark theme and light theme for wp7 too right? If so I'm sold!
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] juelu:
In the final version there will be the possibility for a dark and a light theme :) Plus the colours used will change (if you want) based on the theme you're using :D
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] juelu:
The dark theme is now implemented :)

You now have different possibilities:

blue / bright (standard - see pictures)

blue / dark

accentcolor / bright

accentcolor / dark

bright (attached screenshot 2)

dark (attached screenshot 1)

[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Omega Point:
Looks great and I definitely prefer the new look, cannot wait to try it on my phone.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] juelu:
Cool that you like our new design :)

The developers are working very hard for releasing the new Board Express Update soon.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] lekki:
I just bought the app, not because I need it but because you guys are actually here on the forum taking comments and improving the app.

More devs need to be like you guys.

Cheers!!
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Red Grenadine:
I've been using the express version (read only) and was sort of iffy about buying the program due to the weird, non-metro ui interface. With this update I'll definitely be purchasing the full app.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] juelu:
Thanks a lot! We really appreciate this. If you have more suggestions for our Board Express, please post them :) If you find a thread about Board Express in another forum, please PM me so I can assist there if anyone has problems with our app.

Cool! Thanks a lot!

One tipp to you all: You can download the test version / trial version of "Board Express Pro" in the WP7 Marketplace. The only restriction is that you can only post 60 characters, but there are no time limits or other limitations :)
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] :
As soon as this version is released I will definitely purchase the Pro version. I actually went and developed my own Tapatalk client because this one is very un-metro (it was killing my WP7 mojo!), but this looks great!

What I did on my application was use the panorama as a dashboard for a forum, so I could swipe between the forum listing, subscribed posts & more importantly, subscribed forums (don't think XDA implements this, but Tapatalk supports it for sure) - any chance we could get something like that? Saves me having to take time off work to scroll to the Omnia 7 forums :p

edit: Also, as a matter of developer interest, how did you manage to get Hyperlinks to sit inline with text & have them auto-sized? I could only ever add them to a WrapPanel :(
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] juelu:
Hi Blade0rz,

cool that you like our new design :D Seems that nearly everybody likes it, which makes us very happy.

I'll speak to my team if we can add subscribed forums in the next release. I actually think this would be a very nice idea for big forums :) Thanks a lot for your suggestion.

We already have a "panorama" view built in, but only in portrait mode (not in landscape). Start screen, when you enter a forum, is latests topics. Then you can swipe to the right or to the left. Swipe right: forums, messages, settings, search, (news - this feature only works for customized versions of Board Express per example for the PocketPC.ch App), latest. If you swipe to the left in the start screen, you have: (news), search, settings, messages, forums.

I'll PM you regarding the hyperlinks :)
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] corlygunnz:
The won't search for forums today, yesterday was fine. I uninstalled and installed and still same problem. Free version..
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] corlygunnz:
Can someone confirm is working as now.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] pakure:
Ok, nice app:), but after finishing reading a thread when you press back, you go back to the first page of the subforum and not to the post you were Reading . Also, can you implement gesture support such as swiping left to go back to the subforum...that would be awesome

is the metro/latest version in USA marketplace yet? what version would that be. I'll purchase immediately upon release :)
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Tim.Smith:
Bought the app when it came out but didn't like the UI enough to keep using it. But after looking at those new screenshots I think I'll be using it a lot in the future once that update comes.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] juelu:
Hi all :)

@corlygunnz: Sorry, I don't understand your question. Can you please reformulate it in other words?

@pakure: Thanks. This is a very good idea. We'll have a brainstorming in approx. two weeks what we're going to implement in the next version and we'll discuss your idea!

@MvP77: Thanks a lot :D

@gcianc: No, the metro-UI version is not yet released. We're betatesting it at the moment and we hope we can release it in approx. one or two weeks

@Tim.Smith: Hopefully, you'll like the look and FEEL of our new version and that you're using it a lot after the release of our metro-UI version :D

At the moment we're very busy in betatesting our new design and the new features. That's a lot of work because we need to test Board Express on a lot of different forums with different forum softwares.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] juelu:
Just wanted to update you :)

We did a lot of bug fixing in the last days, implemented some additional features (like landscape mode) and we're now making the last steps before submitting the app in the review process.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] domineus:
I cannot wait for this update I may never login to xda on comp again =)
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] sabesh:
I have the Paid version, but am a bit disappointed that this app doesn't display subscribed forums ("Favorites" in Tapatalk). For example, searching for the Samsung Focus section in XDA involves quite a bit of scrolling and sometimes I over scroll and miss it! Are there plan to include subscribed forums in the near future? Thanks.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] evolutionqy7:
Hopefully we will have all the forum functions working :) I really need go to the post post button and an easier way to access subscribed threads.

Also the app sometimes is choppy. Which is quite fustrating. Mostly happens when loading. But happens alot after loading too.

Also can't seem to be able to see attached images :| also started to crash randomly and logs me out. When you edit the post it says post edit successful and then gives a connection error. And if you press ok after it keeps always saying that. Even though it updates the post.

[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Tim.Smith:
Great news!
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] juelu:
Hi sabesh,

thanks a lot for your suggestion!

This idea has already been brought up by Blade0rz some posts ago.

As said before, I think this is a very good idea, especially it's essential for big forums such as xda-developers or pocketpc.ch! Our primary target was to finish and to bugfix the main version of Board Express. We'll see if it's possible to implement this feature and when we're ready to begin working on it :) I'll keep you updated on any progress we make!

Go to last unread post is already implemented in our new version with the new design. Also the new design is much faster and not choppy. We have put a lot of time in bugfixing in the last weeks (it's quite hard to support a lot of different types of forum software and a whole lot different forums with different settings..), so I hope that no connection errors and no crashes occur in our new version. A public release of this new version is near (at least we hope so ;) Microsofts review process will have the last word ;)).
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] juelu:
Because of the big demand on the "favourites / subscribed forums"-feature, we have decided to add this feature to our new version :) I've just tested it on one of our developer phones and I think this "favourite forums feature" is a real advantage for xda-developers user!

The adding of this feature caused a little delay on our timetable but we hope to release the new Board Express very very soon :)
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Dumdidum:
Hi all

As you might see, there is a new version of Board Express Pro in the Marketplace. We have to blame Microsoft for it, as it's a RC1-Version and not the Final. The final version is now under review and should be available very soon (we hope by the end of this week).

Let me explain how this happened.

After putting a lot of work into the new version and the new design, we decided to send the RC1 last week to Microsoft, with the "auto-publishing"-setting disabled. The decision to already send it to Microsoft was made because the last time, the certification failed because of some (really) ridiculous reasons, and we were sure that it will fail again after our big redesign and we wanted to know for what reasons. But it passed.

We thought: great! So as soon as we finished the final version, it will pass easely, until then, the RC1 will not be published.

Yesterday we tried to publish the final version. Tried. There was no way to remove the (unpublished!) RC1. No way to submit a new update. Nada. After reading the support forum, we saw that this happened to a lot of other users with no other solving possibility as to publish RC1 and to submit the new update (with the final version) right after publishing.

To cut a long story short, we advise you to wait (hopefully) some 2 days until Microsoft has certified the final version.

The final version will also include the subscribed forums-feature which several users wished.

Thanks for your patience!

every one just needs to go and spam MS forum and helplines with telling them that their approval method sucks. Every time i read a new dev problem with approval for marketplace it just gets worse.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Anthonok:
I love the new update BUT I can not stand the thread titles being cut off. I know its the metro look but its not pleasing when you can't read what the thread is. EVERYTHING else is fine but please change thread titles. I'm currently(and sadly) using the old theme due to this. :-(

VWVortex.com does NOT work

I have the paid version of Board Express Pro. It autoupdated today.

I have not been able to log-in to VWvortex.com's forums. First, it says that VWvortex needs to update their software.

Then I get a Network connection error when I log-in. It says it's temporary. But I've never been able to log in to VWvortex.

Any reason why?

Hi

As stated, VWvortex needs to update their Tapatalk-Plugin to the newest version. They are using a very old plugin which is not supported by Board Express.

Could you just ask the admin of VWvortex to update it?

Let me know if that did fix it.

Thanks,

Sven
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Dumdidum:
Hi

Yeah, unfortunately this is what the metro design does - and we tried to implement it almost 1:1 to the MS metro guidlines.

But we could add an option in a next version which you can enable and then we do not cut off the thread titles, making them multiline & maybe a bit smaller. Good point. But it will be an optin-setting, not default. I'll add it to the list for the next version.

Thanks, we are glad you are enjoying the new version. The final will support forums subscribtion, which will be a big plus for big forums like xda-developers. We hope it will get approved tonight. (though we doubt it :-))

Thanks!

I wonder how to ask for more supported foras? flashback.org is the biggest forum in Sweden, and the day I can see it in Board Express, I'll pay for the program instantly!
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Anthonok:
Awesome. Like I said I love the rest of the update. Awesome that you are willing to do this in the future!
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Dumdidum:
Dear Strutten

We are depending on Tapatalk to implement more forum systems. Board Express is using the Tapatalk-Plugin which is currently supporting vBulletin (like XDA), phpBB, SMF and IP.Board.

My swedish is inexistent, but after visiting flashback.org, I fear that they are using another forum system. So as long as Tapatalk does not implement it, it cannot be used in Board Express.

Do you know which forum software is beeing used on flashback.org?

Thanks,

Sven
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Dumdidum:
Thanks a lot, we've put a looooot of work into the new update.

We will implement the feature very soon, but unfortunately with the Marketplace-Way-Of-Life, we cannot update it instantly. We will wait until we can fix some other bugs but we guarantee that it will be supported in the next version. (The one after the final version which is now under review at Microsoft).

Thanks!

Sven
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Strutten:
Hi Sven!

I've been browsing the forum now, and have found out that the admins don't like tapatalk becouse the anonymity isn't guaranteed anymore with that addon.

The forum is a slightly modified vbulletin.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Dumdidum:
That's a really good question. We have released it as "worldwide distribution". In our Marketplace (Switzerland) it's available as update to the old version.

But to be honest, sometimes it doesnt surprise me anymore - the Marketplace is really, really a ...... mess... Microsoft does have to fix so many things on it :-/

Do you now see 3 Board Express Apps? Or do you only see 2?

I will try to use the UK & Ireland-Marketplace tomorrow morning to see what's going on.

You bought the App last week, or do you use the Board Express (non-Pro)-version? There is no Update yet for the Non-Pro-Version. It will be available soon.

Best regards

Sven
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Red Grenadine:
