Jeff Mack Posted October 31, 2019 Posted October 31, 2019 The old BrickPicker Forum app is now dead!!!! Yes it was nice having a dedicated forum app, but they have told me that they are no longer actively adding any new features to it. I was running into a dead end creating new push certificates for the app and create a new build. They had no answer for me so at this point it was time to give up on it. I have completed migrating the forum to their regular Tapatalk App and it seems to be working great. Fast, clean and push notifications are working just fine. If you would like to have the BrickPicker forum on you mobile device, please download the Tapatalk App. IOS https://apps.apple.com/us/app/tapatalk-200-000-forums/id307880732 Android https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.quoord.tapatalkpro.activity&hl=en_US Quote
gregpj Posted June 24, 2016 Posted June 24, 2016 Is anyone else having a problem with the app bringing you to posts where you haven't read to yet? Either with new threads I haven't even started on or when I flip the page to continue reading it brings me to the last post rather than the next post... Yup... It's done that since the last update. 1 Quote
Shortbus311 Posted October 24, 2019 Posted October 24, 2019 Something is wrong with the app... or at least on my phone haha 1 Quote

Hopefully will be fixed soon. Additionally, the forum should have an app release soon. Quote

Phil B Posted October 31, 2019 Posted October 31, 2019 Couple of issues with this: 1. I installed Tapatalk, skipped all the “create an account” stuff, added Brickpicker, again skipped creating an account, and then the app just sit there and spins. Nothing ever happens. This is on iOS 12. 2. Decided to just pull up the forum in my mobile browser. Works fine if you go to community.brickpicker.com, but takes you to a completely unrelated Spanish-language discussion board if you go to forum.brickpicker.com. @Jeff Mack You might want to look into your DNS records for that Quote
Jeff Mack Posted October 31, 2019 Posted October 31, 2019 1. Just make sure you are going to the new brickpicker community on Tapatalk. It should have a graphic with the little LEGO heads. 2. Thanks about the DNS. I just removed that record, it was old. Need to find what is redirecting to that. Quote

Jeff Mack Posted October 31, 2019 Posted October 31, 2019 I am waiting for Tapatalk to remove that listing. But it takes days for them to respond. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
DadsAFOL Posted November 1, 2019 Posted November 1, 2019 Ugh, ads. I'm signed in and 50% of the screen real estate is an ad. Anyway to suppress that for subscribers? Otherwise the old app is better. 3 Quote

Jeff Mack Posted November 1, 2019 Posted November 1, 2019 There are ads on the website and have been for years. I will see what options exist. I just wanted to get the app back. Haven’t spent a ton on time in the options to see what’s different. Quote
Jeff Mack Posted November 1, 2019 Posted November 1, 2019 I found an option to not show ads. Let me know if that is working. I haven’t seen any yet. 1 Quote

LegoBro Posted November 1, 2019 Posted November 1, 2019 I found an option to not show ads. Let me know if that is working. I haven’t seen any yet. No more ads. Thanks! Quote
Phil B Posted November 3, 2019 Posted November 3, 2019 I am still seeing ads in the Android version. The app is also somehow subscribing me to some threads, and starts sending me email notifications. I have to find the thread and manually unsubscribe to make it stop. Very annoying. Quote

Sorry, don't know what to tell you. I will write them and ask them why an Android phone may see ads and not iOS. There is only one option to select from. I unfortunately don't have an Android phone to use and see what is happening. Quote
Phil B Posted November 4, 2019 Posted November 4, 2019 Regarding the auto-subscribe ... this seems to happen whenever I reply to a topic, or like a post in a topic. It automatically subscribes me to that topic until I manually unsubscribe. Quote

DadsAFOL Posted November 22, 2019 Posted November 22, 2019 Ads are showing up again in Tapatalk even though I’m logged in. Any way to suppress those? Quote

LegoBro Posted November 22, 2019 Posted November 22, 2019 Got it. I’m happy to do a PayPal subscription of a couple dollars a month if it would help cover costs. A paid subscription to Brickpicker is way over due. I'd pay for the info and current and past event info on here. Quote

The people that make this forum are close to releasing their own mobile app which would be nice because it would be dedicated and native to this forum. They said its supposed to be released in early 2020, so I just want to see what they come up with. 1 Quote
redghostx Posted November 28, 2019 Posted November 28, 2019 Hi,Right now when I get a notification, say 8 new posts in x forum, when I go to the app to read them, it only loads until a stickied post and then I have to refresh the topic to read the rest of them. Is there a fix for this or do I just have to button smash every time Quote
