I'd like to know why I can't roam and interact with Bungie.net's forums via the Android app. The classic/normal forums have to load the icons, the background and other images when the posts are what matters.

So if there was a simplified version of the forums for the mobile app, that would make it easier to load the forums as well interact with them faster.

I'd like the forums on the mobile app too. The full web pages take a long time to load.

it's pretty difficult to code what you both have requested and tis much simpler and less time consuming by just having the app use the internet to produce pages of the forum. Right now I would say around 10,000 lines of code or more go into the app at the very least so to do what you want, assuming it is possible, would take about a year to do and cause the mobile app to crash and do bug tests and server tests to make sure the new build works...trust me I am happy for the app just the way it is, maybe add in a hints page about BUNGiE's new IP in the future. The Mobile Programmers did a bang up job with the app and I won't shame them by complaining about their masterpiece.

Posting on the forums on a mobile device is like cat herding. Trolling on the go?

It's not like cat herding for me. I wait for the pages to load, zoom in to read the posts and reply.
The only problem is loading times for all the images.
