Missing "Attached Files"
When someone attaches files to their posts, the "Attached Files" box/info is not showing up at all in the iPhone App. (Pictures work fine.)

Apps don't support "files" such as pdf you'll have to use web browser to view.

Actually, you can download the Adobe app and then you can open pdf files.

Right the "attached" files link doesnt show up in the frf app . You have to go to web browser to see and click on file.
You cannot "see" "view" or "click" on a file using the frf app

Yes. I want that to be fixed. Lots of apps show PDF or txt files. This one should too. At the very least, showing a link to the attachment would make it a lot easier to paste it into a browser (if that's what I really have to do).

Interesting. We're looking in to this - It's not clear to me that the app supports pdfs but I'm not positive.... Researching....

If you would try and find out why pictures are not able to be view after a certain amount of time via android.
If I post a picture and come back to view it 30 minutes later via android I get same black box as I post above .
That also applies to anyone else's photo that is posted .

I came across something interesting that greatly reduces the impact of this problem (at least on iOS).
When you are viewing a thread, near the top, below "Jump to ...", the title of the tread is shown (with a ">" at the right). If you "click" there, it takes you to that same thread in the browser built into the app. (It even has you logged in if you're logged in in the app.) From here, you can see and view the attachments just fine. Since I find that I no longer have to go search out that same thread in the brower on my own, this is really slick.
So the only remaining concern really is for those cases where the original poster doesn't give me enough context to realize that there are attachments in his/her post. If the app could just give some indication that there are attachments, I'd be happy (which is saying a lot for me :-).
