The bible is the best book Ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I AM A PROUD CHRISTIAN. HALO IS AWESOME BUT GOD IS MUCH BETTER!!!!!!!!
Did you knew that JESUSdied for you?

As both an owner of an iPad and an iPhone. I have discovered a glitch on the forums section.

When you click the "community" tab to browse the forum lists.This list disappears almost instantly on the IPad( But it lasts a bit longer on the iPhone)

This unfortunately makes navigating trough the forums hard. If that list could last long enough to select another forum Before disappearing. It would be very useful.

Thank for your time I hope the web team may look at this issue

What? Got something against Yetis?

I'm on an iPad, and it works just fine. You see that "Community" picture above you? If you click that, it'll bring you back to the Community forums main page.

I have an iPod Touch and although the forum list does go away, as you said, it takes about 2-3 seconds, which, in my opinion, is long enough to select a forum.

I have to agree that it would be great to have this time either extended or to have the forum list actually stay on until you click away, however, as some people might not find 2-3 seconds long enough to click on a forum.

Also if what you are saying about the list going away instantly on an iPad is true (I don't own one so I'll trust what you say) then it further reinforces the reasons to get this "bug" fixed.

Or you can click the "Community" tab twice, and have a list of all the forums that don't disappear.

We aren't here to ruin your experience (Well Qbix is).

I wish Bungie would add forum support for the mobile app :(

I noticed this as well. Slightly annoying.

Now, in the quantum moment before the closure, when all become one. One moment left. One point of space and time.

I know who you are.

You are Destiny.

You gotta be fast!

I browse bungie.net from my iPhone all the time and this bug is certainly recent. Before the minor 6/23/11 update a few weeks ago, clicking on the nav bar would keep the drop-down menu up until you clicked somewhere else. Wonder why they removed it though :/

Happens to me too.

Hopefully, the webteam makes BNet more useful for iOS.

I hope then integrate the forums into the Bungie App.

Same.

Sadly, they only made an app for the iPhones/iPod Touches... There should be an iPad version as well, IMO.

Yes, there're too many numbers in my name.

Because it's an iPad, you can't hover the mouse over the tab and have the menu appear right before your eyes. I've personally browsed the forums with an iPad, and have found this to not be a bug, but an alteration on how the internet would operate on a device without a physical mouse.

For me, I found that just tapping the community tab at the top will highlight it, and drop down the list of forums. If this isn't working for you, then I may recommend freeing some space on your iPad, or perhaps updating your software.

The issue is that touch up on the iPhone/iPad triggers onmouseover, onmousedown, onclick, and onmouseup all at once by default in the browser.

I'm pretty sure though if they implement ontouchdown and ontouchup in the menu elements it will cancel out the default behavior on iOS and they'll be able to make a smoother iOS menu experience.

Though drop downs and iOS don't get along much anyway.

I hope this could get fixed despite OS issues.

I get this too. Just click it again and wait for it to fall again.

This happens on my HTC G2 Android as well.

Im on a touch and I don't have this problem.

The problem is that if your browser has Javascript enabled, it [Javascript] will control the hiding of the menu approximately 1 second after it loses focus. iDevices have the drawback of not being able to continually "put" focus on a particular element, so as soon as you hit the top part of the menu (ie. "Community"), the timer starts with no way to stop it*.


*A kind of "hack" way to pause the timer to start a touch scroll and keep holding. The content of the page (DOM, Window, not exactly sure what it is) seems to lock-up/block (running on a different thread to Safari's UI I'm guessing). You'll notice you can stop I/O operations (eg. HTTP requests) if you do it on a slow loading page too.
