GOSH!!! WHAT in the world is the matter with TFO????
I've been unable to login or even VIEW posts for the past 2 days.
Today it didn't recognize me, and made me login twice...(indignant snort) :p
Yes, I had a spot of bother yesterday, come to think about it.
More than just the App ?
Nice to see you back, Bea.:)

I'm on a regular computer and a Kindle, and I had to log in on both of them. All I know is that Josh is working on the Admin side of things. He hasn't started yet on the Iphone problem.

Normally, when I first turn on the computer in the a.m. and click on "new posts" there are two, sometimes three pages of them. Since all this I phone problem, the last couple days, when I click on "new posts" only about 8 or 9 actual posts come up. I've emailed to Josh to let him know that it is really affecting the Forum's members.

He has quite a few deadlines he's working on right now - tomorrow is supposed to start the voting, so he's got to get the poll thread up, and there's a problem with all his forums on the admin side that he's working on. I'm sure he'll fix this Iphone problem as soon as he can. He's as dedicated to the forum as we all are.
I can't even get the android app to work on my tablet now. I am reliant on wifi for my tablet whereas my phone has data all the time. However, the screen of the phone is too small for the website for more mature people like me whose eyesight isn't as good as it was.

If TFO is to survive it needs the apps; people don't even buy computers these days. They don't have a phone line at home. Their iphone or android phone is their life.

And I am very happy how things are !:D

The screen on an iphone is too small for my old eyes. I need a big screen and a comfortable chair or sofa and my laptop or tower PC.;)
I would never use an iphone for surfing the I-Net.o_O That would really drive me nuts, you`re right Adam.

By the way: Good evening !:D

Comfortable chair, sofa, bed, armadillo, I'm not too fussy.

I think it's pretty obvious now how important the apps are to the survival of TFO. Without them, the forum has withered and will rapidly turn into the activity levels of gecko talk.

I guess it's a cost benefit analysis for Josh. Is the continued survival of the forum, and income he gets from it going forward, worth his expenditure? Maybe he had already done the Maths. I can't believe he didn't know what proportion of the traffic was via the apps - Google Analytics is free and tells you this. He certainly got warned by plenty of people a long time ago that the app's days were numbered. If it's too hard to use, people won't bother. The community will split up and go elsewhere :(

Let's hope it doesn't come to that. :(
