Vertical Style reading will be available in 1.9:

To access per-post features, simply tap on the post header (poster handle, avatar, post date). You will have the option to toggle between this style or current one in the settings menu.

When can we have it?

I am really really loving the vertical display mode. Well done.

Any chance of a nicer tile/icon? The "A" is awfully drab.

Something like this is more visually appealing.

Next release is looking really smooth. All that's left to do is implement a 'preview thread' section when creating a new thread. I'm thinking 1.11 should be available to everyone two weeks from now at the latest.

I should mention that there is a strict limitation on how much text you can type in a text box before you can no longer see what you're typing. I don't forsee any megathread creations in this app's future

Things are working great. Better and better. The only issue in running into is when it's taking me to the last unread post it way overshoots everytime and I have to scroll up 4-5 posts to get back to the real last unread post.

Good night, goons.

Looks great, keeps getting better. It's awesome that the WinPho app is better than the IOS/Android app.

The icon still stinks.

What do you mean? Did the icon stay the same for you, or are you just not a fan of the new one?

It's just so plain. There's no zazz to to it. Can you zazz it up some? Use the "rule of thirds" and make the face bigger.

Feature request: Share via SMS, Email, Social Network, etc... and/or Open in IE.

Sharing via social network might be more effort than I want to put forth, but SMS and email are doable. Same with opening a thread page in IE.

I don't really see myself sharing to a social network anyway. The other 2 I tried to use today. Thank you.

Thanks for the bug report -- will be fixed in the next release.

Private Messaging is done (the way SA edits folders is a mess!) and a beta will be out shortly so you guys can test it out. The majority of my time has been spent on building tests for the app's features. That way I can ensure that everything works as intended before I push to the marketplace. It's a long process!

Thank you for all the work you've put into this.

Good luck. I always look forward to your work.

He must be using the old version. I'm not sure how the version I uploaded is missing the filter toggle, but I'm putting out a short beta with the fix to be *completely sure* that it works, then pushing it to the marketplace. For now, you'll have to put up with stars. Sorry!

That will be the last update to the app. The next release after has been completely rebuilt from scratch, to address the problems with speed, logins, and persistence.

Any fundamental changes we will see? Support for higher WP8 resolutions? New features? What can you tell us?

I just got a Lumia 920 running WP8 and am not having much luck with the app.

I can login fine and see my bookmarks. Once I changed my options I could then see the number of new posts.

Whenever I try to go to a thread (from either the forum list or the bookmarks) it takes me to a thread page with the right title but loads no content, it just has the loading animation going perpetually. Also, if I go from a bookmark, it claims it is loading 'Page ? of X' (where X is the current number of pages in the thread)

Would this be an issue because of WP8 or have I missed something?

I am having the same issue on a Nokia 920.

It's definitely a WP8 thing. Thread browsing worked perfectly before my upgrade and not at all afterward.

Seconding this. Have my 900 and 920 side by side, 900 works as always and the 920 will load the forums index and my bookmarks but will not display threads.

I'd like to try the beta, I have Lumia 920.

My beta access expired and i was forced to uninstall. I'd love to get back in if its undetermined how long it'll be until the real app is available.
