We've been building a new app from the ground up, so support for the existing app is basically nonexistent.

We will be releasing the beta version of the app this week, so please stay tuned.

In the meantime, feel free to the use our Mobile Template in the browser, as it's been updated to be very user friendly (I personally use it all the time).

When you mean "Mobile Template in the browser" do you mean the blue banner at the bottom that reads Mobile version or something like that? If so thats what I was using and I couldnt reply in a thread. All I would get is all smilies.

Where are you all at on this project? I can't hardly view any threads without getting a "parse error". Really frustrating...

I'm assuming the launched it already. I typed in the website in my browser and the full site version came up then at the bottom I clicked on view mobile site and now I can upload pics from my phone and no more errors. The new site is great. Can even add smilies.

No, this is in reference to the mobile app, specifically for smartphones. While a mobile website has certain advantages on a smartphone the apps are a different deal.

The IB Autogroup app for iPhone has always been a little wonky. Lately it has been horked severely, and reinstallation doesn't seem to help.

Right, I have an I phone 4. IB Jose mentioned above that they were building a new app from the ground up. That was what I was referencing. I assume it's not ready yet?

Well for those that use the mobile version which I guess its different from the App, it's 100 times better.

I agree the mobile version is much better, but it still lacks the ability to pass out rep. I use the mobile version 99% of the time, and not having this feature available is frustrating.

I agree, I wish it did have a rep button But it's great now that we can upload pics from our phone.
