When I click on the Camino forum app on my android phone I now find it not working. I've tried several times, but the same notice keeps popping up saying... "This app is disabled. Please contact the community webmaster to re-enable it."

I am confused by this and in the meantime I went to the main forum website to log in, but I prefer using the phone app. Any ideas what's happened here? Do I need to contact Ivar about this problem?

Well, I'm glad to know I'm not the only one experiencing this problem, but I hope it corrects itself or that Ivar gets involved. I prefer using the app because it is faster to log in. On the website I have to fill in my name and password TWICE each time I want to get connected....oh, the big problems in life to be endured!

It is funny how our experiences seem different! I have found that I don't like the app. What I do is stay signed in, go to "New Posts" and bookmark the page. Then every time I want to come back, I just click on the bookmark and see all of the new posts. I find that it is equally good on my phone, so I never use the app.
 
The app was developed and run by a third party company, I paid a monthly fee to have it running. It seems they have decided to stop offering this service and given me 48 hours notice... I am dealing with them now to see what can be done. But it does not look good... so yes, use the website for now.
 
I also just use the website on my phone. I never sign out, so it's no problem. I like that I can go through and find all the threads that I want to read, open them in separate "tabs", then close them as I read them, without having to go back and forth to the main page.

Sorry
 
I just tried the website where it ssys "stay logged in" and clicked that. It was pretty fast by doing that. Thanks for the tip!
 
I think I will stay logged in on the website and get used to doing it that way after all. I guess no big deal if the app stays defunct. I was just used to using it and am glad to know the reason why.

On second thought, I will miss the "dings" my phone made with the little icon showing at the top of my phone screen every time a new comment came in that I'd been viewing and "liked". I then could often respond back right away if I had time. Now I will only know if I have a new notification when I log in randomly during the day to take a look. Oh well.

hhmm... I have an engineering degree in computer science since more than 40 years. Sick and tired of it (technology). Retirement is a lifechanger. I do not use apps. I walk. I try to be there. In the now. But, whatever you choose.

Nice sign on the Camino (can't remember where...)

You can set your account so that you get notifications in your email. It's almost as good as a "ding".

Ok, I will try to figure out how to do that. ...Hey, I just did it and I think it should work fine.
Thanks!

No problem, I've used both and have the forum bookmarked.
 
I believe it’s the Refugio at Orisson
 

I just installed the newest version of the app (iOS on iPad) and am getting this error.

just goes to show: I don't watch tv, so I presumed it was a manner of speaking, till you sent your reply! then I knew it was a spoof on a tv show. Incidentally, I didn't ever use the app, so don't miss it. I also turned off most of the alert options, and I don't check the forum on my phone, just iPad and laptop.
 
I only use my phone for the forum, not my laptop or iPad...just the opposite of you.
