Solved Where did Unanswered threads go?!

You could always remove the app and try downloading it again and see if the menu reappears.

As @CarpCharacin just mentioned, you don't need the app to get all there is here on BYC, the browser version is pretty much the same.

I can still see it on the drop down menu while logged in on the android app.

That's how it used to look on the app, but now, when you click "forums", it just goes to the forums without showing that drop-down.

Did you try unloading and downloading it again? Sometimes files get glitchy and reloading it might bring it back.

Everything Apple releases an update it takes a while for them to work the kinks out.
Sit tight...it should reappear soon.

I think there's been some confusion about the original question. Allow me to clarify.

The question was specifically related to the BYC app for iOS, not the Android app, or the desktop or mobile webpage. Telling someone that you are not experiencing the issue on Android or through your web browser is like taking your car to the appliance repair person - they are completely unrelated.

The BYC app is coded by BYC (or its contractor), so Apple’s iOS updates would also have nothing to do with the functionality of the app. Also, unlike desktop systems, apps are self contained, or “sandboxed” within the mobile operating system, so there are not separate files to be corrupted; therefore, uninstalling and reinstalling the app will not fix the issue like software on a desktop.

Quite frankly, I'm now questioning the purpose of releasing a mobile app if it's unsupported - do you (BYC staff/owner) really want to drive members to only use BYC on their desktops? The whole point of a mobile application is to bypass the web browser. BTW, studies have demonstrated the popularity of apps, especially with younger users...seems like a missed opportunity to me.

My questions clearly need to be directed to a technical support person versed in app development. I'd appreciate if someone at BYC would see that it happens.

@CarpCharacin James?

The software is designed to work well in a mobile browser, so the current app is really nothing more than a browser that can only visit BYC, and it doesn't work well, as it was built around an old version of the site. Sure, we could update the current app, but I don't think it would be worth it, as the forum software has announced this feature, which we will be rolling out here eventually. So presently, if you want to have the best experience on BYC, my recommendation is to visit the site through the browser on your mobile device.
