I saw where it said "Forum Issues" so I thought I would ask a question about an issue I was having with forums. I didn't know it had to be a matter of life or death.

HaHa. I noticed but never mentioned that individual titles don’t show on the mobile Droid version. Just fyi. Not life or death either. Bigger issue occasional trouble logging on.

^^^Hey Zap, why must you hop into the forum issues section acting like an ***? Ironic don't you think? Turns out you're the "smart ***" that finds "it necessary to throw out snide cheap shots". Doesn't get much more snide than your post to NoCoLoco. What compels you to chime in acting like you know what they hell's going on, and belittling other members for simply posting an issue where it's suppose to be posted? You posted the same type of useless/incorrect **** in my thread a couple weeks back. Since when do our questions to mods/admin need to be life or death issues?...or of a particular level of importance when compared to other issues?

Go practice a little forum etiquette. It'll help you to "fit right in".

*moving on*

NoCoLoco, is this still happening with your Droid app? Or has it resolved? I just checked and I'm not having this problem and I have the same app. Mine still shows the bold print on the thread titles that have been commented on since my last visit. And then the threads that are further down and haven't had any activity are not highlighted. Just thinking out loud, but perhaps somehow you weren't logged in or something?...I don't know.

I think Zap's reply was spot on, the poster was
bumping, showing impatience. His problem was on his own end in the
first place, not a forum problem.
Edit: btw, bumping is frowned upon, If every one tries to stay at the top,
all we have is bumped posts.

Actually "bumping" 1 day later is generally acceptable throughout the internet. I've moderated for 5+ years on approx an equal size forum as this, and have never seen waiting 24 hours as a sign of impatience. Now had he bumped it a couple hours later or so, then you may have had a point. But waiting a whole 24 hours hardly justifies someone as being impatient.

And how do you know this wasn't a forum issue? How was the OP to know? Now hopefully it was, and the OP will chime in saying there aren't any issues now. But unless you're the one that's personally handling the case, then you should be careful on assuming you know where the problem lies. Zap had done the same to me just a couple weeks ago, only to be proven wrong shortly after. Hence part of the reason I posted in this thread in the first place.

Just for the record: I'm by no means complaining about how things are handled here. I think this is a great forum/valuable resource, and that the Admin/moderators here are doing a fantastic job. I's simply stating my dissapproval with someone's "snide" remarks that had done the same to me just weeks before.

Regards!

Yes, that is what's happening. Has it always been this way for you? It hasn't for me and I don't like it. Up until a couple of days ago they were all in bold but now it's just the "fresh" ones, just like the normal version of this site. I thought a mobile version was supposed to cut out most of the bloated content and make it easier to read and navigate. My droid's display is small enough as it is and by making the lettering smaller it's a little harder to read and that kind of defeats the purpose, at least a little. IMO

I bumped ONE TIME the next day not because I am impatient but because I didn't want the question/thread to get buried without a HELPFUL response.
