When I click on articles they won't load I have an iPhone 5 is there something I'm doing wrong or is there something wrong with the app

I'm having the same problem. Also, videos and pictures won't show up to click on in forum posts.

Confirmed. I'm working on it.

I think this is a new security "feature" of iOS. We're looking into it, but it's likely that we'll have to issue a new build of the app, and that will take a couple weeks to get Apple's approval.

Sorry for the hassle!

Should be fixed. It is a new iOS security feature to NOT open things that aren't https URLs. So I've switched things to https, but since these are linking to external sites, we don't know if they actually support https.

Bottom line, all videos now work, and most but not all links to other sites will work.

Can you post the title (and page) with one of the problems? I assume we're talking about links inside forum pages that go to external sites, but your last post makes it sound like something else.

Our only foolproof solution to this problem is to open the forum in your browser, instead of inside the app. We're hoping to avoid this, but it might not be possible. Also, that would require us to release a new version of the app, which will take several weeks.
