Cannot add image attachments without app crashing

Sharing a thread with someone is ridiculously cumbersome and limited to email.
Use a browser instead.

If you want full functionality click on "full version" and it works just fine.

At least some of you can get the forum to load. This is as far as I've been able to get:

That isn't a solution.

The whole point of an app is to optimize for mobile convenience and speed.

Otherwise I might as well run into a Starbucks and use my laptop.

It is a solution, it just isn't what you want to hear.


Until IB state otherwise, it is where we are currently.

It's probably a business decision more than an engineering problem that they can't go back to tapatalk. As much as I hate the facelift they did in tapatalk at least all the functions work.

IB is a piece of crap, whoever, writes or supports this code should have their CS degrees revoked.

Mobile version in my browser works great. Only complaint I have is you're not able to see when you have a message. Use it daily.

Works and works great are different degrees. I agree it works but it doesn't provide convenient access to advanced features.

For example:
Icon app alerts
Upload photos without switching to full desktop version
Participated or subscribed views

The whole point of my thread is not let's find a clunky kludgy fix or even lets find an elegant solution, it's that tapatalk was already there, it was already working, it was already elegant.

Now we have to pick between IB app and mobile.

How bout I take your s2000 away and give you 2 options an Audi TT fwd convertible or a bmw z3.

Z3 3.0. The point is that complaining here isn't going to change it. IB is in control, not the admins and mods. Find the appropriate party within IB's organization to contact and send bitchy emails to them. Complaining here is most likely not going to bring about a resolution you can live with.
