New Apple iOS8

[Vanilla]

Not sure if this is an issue for anyone else, or if something can be done about it, but I've just recently updated my iPad with the latest iOS8, and have noticed that in my conversations tab, I can no longer distinguish the difference between read, and unread conversations. I can't remember what it looked like before the update, but am wondering if it's just me, or if something has changed for others too?

Well, if you would like to, send me a PM, so I actually have an unread conversation, lol. I have iOS 8 as well, I'll check it out

Hey Brent

Just letting you know that King_Oni and I tested this out, as we both have the latest OS on our devices, and both agree that new posts are harder to distinguish from old ones. I'm not too sure why it's doing it, or if anything can be done about it, but thought you'd want to know.

When a new post appears in the conversations menu:

• The bolded text is only marginally more bold than the rest of the text.
• The black dots that appear next to the portraits don't appear to have a function, as they appear next to every post, regardless of if they are new or old.

Well, they do have function. You can toggle a PM as read/unread, yet from a UI perspective it seems a bit weird that the state doesn't change. It remains a black dot on either state. A white dot with a black outline on "read" vs. a black dot in total on "unread" would make more sense (and probably feels a bit more intuitive).

Yes, the typeface appears slightly smaller.

However on my system (27 inch monitor) it renders much clearer than the previous typeface. No ghosting. Much sharper. I like the tradeoff, but have no idea how this renders on others' systems.

I can only surmise that this typeface may be problematic to those using handheld devices with tiny viewing screens. I was wondering when someone would have brought this up...

There are some fixes in our next update pertaining to iOS8.

Just in case this issue isn't known yet too, I noticed that images can't be uploaded either.

With iOS 8 or period?

With iOS8. Was always working before the update

Just letting you know that the latest iOS 8.2 update seems to have resolved the issue with allowing photo uploads. Other issues still remain otherwise.

I can't tell difference between old and unread stuff, and I haven't updated yet. Also. Why can't I even view this site when I am on wifi? It says not secure connection.

You will need to restart your router and/or cable modem. We updated something that is cached and will need to be reset on your end (it will do it automatically if you give it enough time)

It might be good to advise you too Brent that many Apple users will be remaining on the old iOS7 too, as there have been many issues with the new update, so it would be good to ensure both versions are working, if possible. I'm considering dropping back to it myself.

Our new update with a bunch of iOS8 fixes is live.
