    Help, Bimmerforums app

    I've been trying to get an answer on here about this issue for quite some time...
    On my previous phone a Samsung Galaxy S5, and now a new Galaxy S7 Edge, and also a new LG G Pad X 10.1 (all Android) In the Bimmerforums app, I cannot start a new thread on account of there are no "buttons" that show up on the screen to do so with...
    (I was flabbergasted to see that, by chance, when I decided to give Tap A Talk a try... I am able to do just that (obviously...-- I am using my Galaxy S7 here) so other than downloading the Tapatalk app onto my G Pad, is this what to expect from the
    bimmerforums app I have on here (S7) and my G Pad?
    TIA

    I have an S5, you just hit the menu key and they pop up. In all Android devices since the 4th button was dropped, legacy menu is accessed by holding the app switch key. On the S5, this is the left soft key, standard android it's the right.

    Edit: I should mention this is for ALL apps and is part of Android, not just for BF.c

    Thanks for this. So I should clarify; when I log on to the app on my S7, the buttons all appear across the bottom of the screen. The problem is once I pick a particular section of the forum I can't start a new thread unless I am subscribed to a thread.
    Any ideas?

    I'd suggest using Chrome, or your fav browser. Works like a charm.

    Use the browser... it is so much better.
    Let me get this straight... You are swapping out parts designed by hundreds of engineers that get paid thousands of dollars for something you bought at Pep Boys because your buddy who doesn't have a job told you it was 'better'?!?
