Don't different JMods develop the app versus the website?

Yes, from what I can tell, the Web App is developed by a separate person/group of Jagex staff than the website as a whole. Here's the intro post on the Companion App that helps explain its mission.

We can at least be rest assured that this poll doesn't mean the update will never occur. Although, I do see some irony. A lot of people do not use the forums because they are old and not appealing. Because no one uses them, of course not many people are going to vote to update them. A sticky situation lol.

Just wanted to kinda leave a little rant here. I think it's somewhat strange they would include mobile forums access as a poll question in this weeks new poll. Obviously it's not going to pass because the forum community are the only ones who would really support that, and we are the vast minority. Shouldn't have been polled in my opinion, the RS Companion App team should just have it on their to-do list.

It annoys me how they've made it a vote-able option, when they haven't even made the Forums a mobile-friendly site to use yet (which is what they're aiming to do before the update of it being an app). They could have had this done a while ago. Way before the polling system came out or the companion app came out. It's been a want for the Forum Community for a while now.

It's all about social media for them now. We've been promised for 4 years a good update on these Forums since the update on the 19th April, 2010. We've yet to get one that isn't just little special tools for us to make our text look fancy.

There are still many old Forum bugs that they've not even got around to. It's just a shame that they don't appear to be looking to improve the Forums. I just dread the future of them. It's also annoying when they're like: "We listen, I promise! We just don't write on threads about it". All have have to say to that is: BS. If that's the case, why haven't we experienced any reasonable and worthy updates? Fancy tools? Removal of thread sections, threads and the squishing of thread sections? Is this really a 'worthy' update for us? I don't think it is.

The compatibility to these Forums is just so poor. Oh well, once day we'll get them. Hopefully after 4 years of promises we'll get something later this year. If not, it'll be 5 years and so on, so forth.

The exact description for the vote is "A complete redesign of the official forums
including
a dedicated version for your mobile or tablet."

Yet the vote title is for forums to become accessible to mobiles. It is misleading and people who don't have mobiles may not vote for it because they did not read the full description. :)

I don't know, poll or no poll, I've come to the stage now that I'm starting to doubt if the forums will ever get to the top of the list of priorities for a major overhaul. It has seemed to have got so close on many occasions over the years, only to be pushed back down again by something else.
The current emphasis on Twitter and Facebook is only going to make that worse really and it's a trend that I don't think is likely to get reversed.
I'd very much like to be proven wrong though! lol

So can anyone tell me why my stats aren't showing up on the high scores?
I can see your stats on the highscores.

Funny thing is, I didn't think F2P were on the highscores so didn't think to look for my own even until you said that Artithiemius, lol.


Oh, and Sookie, that new avatar of yours is positively scary! What is that thing swallowing your face? AKA: Arbr**** Vie

Original message details are unavailable.
For top secret reasons, I would like to keep this thread open for a little while longer, I hope you don't mind Treemaid!

I promise to keep you all updated on why we're keeping this open :)


^For those that haven't seen it yet.

Sounds exciting ay? I wonder what the secret is. Presumably something to do with a forums update, since it's posted on a thread about forum improvements. Can't wait!

On another note, I'm away for a week from tomorrow - hope I don't miss the grand unveiling of the secret! lol AKA: Arbr**** Vie
