Android app issues

On the pictures, you might try setting the quality to 640x480 and/or turning on remote thumbnails.
I suspect what happens is the app tries to download all the pictures in the thread when you click on a picture, not just the one you tried to view and that is bogging things down in the background.

Here is a screenshot of a missing thumbnail & photo. I know this one was working an hour or so ago, but not now.

Not sure if all of these thumbnails or pictures were working earlier or not. Only some are now.

I just loaded this thread on my app and it's working fine.

We had previously worked with the developer to diagnose photos not loading and ultimately found that it wasn't the app malfunctioning but rather connection issues.

Can you go and try to load the thread again on your app and see if the photos load now? Also check your network connection speed when these issues are happening.

Its not connection issues IMHO.

I experience the thumbnail problem on both WiFi (3' from the Router, High Speed Cable internet) and 4G LTE (3 "bars")

I concur. I'm generally on pretty good networks & an IT guy for the past decade, so am pretty sensitive to network issues.

As of right now the "Open Browser" option is still putting an extra / in the URL & the bottom half of the icons at the bottom are still cut off.

I just went to the thread http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/build-yourself/323978-snow-plow-build.html in the TBN app on the last page & every thumbnail was grey. When I click on at thumbnail it has some kind of corrupt or grey plaid looking tiny icon a the top & never loads the actual picture. Click "Open browser", remove the extra / & the whole page loads with thumbnails in 1-2 seconds. Clicking on a thumbnail in the browser loads the full photo in about 2 seconds.

When I changed Attachment Quality to 640 (where it is now) things got a little better, but not much.

I just went & did the clear image cache option. Thumbnails showed up & the image eventually showed up. Still have the weird grey plaid thumbnails over the image though. I've done this before & things end up working for a bit, but quickly stop working again.

If the developer is saying it's a connectivity issue, he might be partially right. His app needs better error handling & retry capability though.

Any updates? Haven't seen any changes or heard anything in quite some time.

I'm also suspecting a lot of the double post problems have a similar root cause. My app will sit here with the thinking screen forever. If I hit back, then post I get a double post. Back then refresh it loads the thread with the post it indicated it was still waiting to post.

It all points back to improper timeout handling or the like by the developer. I'm pretty darn sure its not a connectivity issue as I and most of the others get this issue on different conditions, even with great connectivity.

Had that very issue an hour ago.

And it still doesn't explain the black bar that covers up half of the icons on the main screen.
