Forum runner just won't let me post but one character and then blows me out of the forum. Running current iOS on iPhone6s. Can get on using browser. Anyone else got ideas? TapaTalk any better or (how can it be) worse?

Both are Android. Anybody with iOS versions want to try?

I don't have iOS to test. I use forum runner myself on Android. I'll look to see if there's an update we need to do but both forum runner and tapatalk interface with vbulletin at a lower level. Tapatalk does have an add on and we have it installed so it has some extra functions, but I don't think forum runner has one. I'll see what I can find out.

I downloaded Forum Runner to my Iphone. I did not see a way to respond in a thread unless I chose the quote function. After selecting quote, if I use the return key more than once it kicks me out of KSR. If I use the quote function, click return once it appears I can type a message, but after 2 keystrokes it kicks me out of KSR.

BTW bigsky, you owe me $1.99. :trink39:

previous reply on forum runner, two characters!

Here I am typing away on my laptop. Dan message me your address and I'll send you two bucks. Or, tell me where you will be in Vegas and we will hoist a few on me.

Also, you click on the arrow in the top right to reply. Have to be logged in to see reply as an option.

I think the new iOS blew up Forum Runner.

Posted using the free version of whatever forum software is native to KSR. I just used the safari search tool on the phone to find kentuckysportsreport, logged in and navigates here to post

I do not know what forum runner or tapatalk offer that this native software does not but this is pretty painless

Yes that works. It isn't as easy as forum runner WAS. Thanks Dan. The discussion with suncat regarding his kindle had me wondering if the two issues might be related. Sounds like one is android and one is iOS. It's a "first world problem"

bigsky, have you tried forum runner on there with any other sites? Just curious.

My problem with forum runner on android is that it expects a 2nd button but my S7 doesn't have one, so I do have thing where the only way to post is to quote, etc.

I don't go anywhere else, Citizen. Y'all are it.

Yeah, I'm the same way. I'll research it, give me a day or two and maybe I can find a fix.
