of your existing forum code and configuration. Simply follow the procedure below:

same problem with the latest update as with the april 7th one.

i haven't had any type of resolution suggested to me or heard back from my emails.

Hi vbreal,

The way Apply distribute ad-hoc iPhone app is a pain to manage and easy to mis-install. If your problem persist please wait for a week or two, the official app will be posted at Apple App Store by then.

:up:

[vbreal]

miss-install?

i did it the way Ive been doing it. its obviously something else if i was able to reinstall the old version and get it to work fine the same way i installed the new version. i would think as a beta tester you would try to help get it installed correctly vs telling me to wait two weeks. you didn't even suggest anything to try.

ha i will be surprised to see it in the appstore that soon. apple has been lagging on soon they release new apps or even updates to apps.

has it been sent to apple yet?

Hi vbreal,

We have been helping you to install the app - this is a standard Apple iPhone adhoc distribution process and is so far quite confusing to few users. Since this application will be available in app store soon I suggest you can sit back and wait for the seamless install experience with the app store.

We will release one or two more minor iPhone fixes before the official release to you, once it is out we will certainly assist you in installing the ad-hoc built.

Sorry it has bee overwhelming to us on the amount of work to be done - we're focusing so much on bugs fixing and at time not doing so well to help beta-testers getting their app install.

Hi AyeCapn,

Sorry the Pilot is closed.. please sit-back and wait for the official launch...

Added the april 9 release and still having crashing issues here and there. I haven't been able to check on the smilies issue either.

any idea on the price point for the final release before it's out? multi-forum discount?

oh... one other big thing. There are some forums i've found through this app that i didn't know about. Mine happens to have the URL but not all do. Is there a way to include the actual destination address somewhere?

[vbreal]

so i used a different pc and it loaded fine.

umm is anyone else having an issue with the app crashing when you create a new thread or reply to a post. it crashes every time i try and it doesn't submit the post or thread.

Dr. Viggy,

We have yet to hear your bug report so far, would be interested to see where the problems are? Usually we can fix it immediately in subsequence release so the earlier you report to us, the better your forum works with iPhone.. ;-)

Please send us an email. Thank you.
