    I am in St. Louis, MO, using the mobile app. I pulled up the Nearby places map, but I found at least one brewery/pub that does not show on the map:

    Not sure why this is the case, but I am reporting it.

    I noticed that the place had an error in the address (North instead of South 8th St.). I changed it, and maybe it will now show on the places map.

    Sorry. Off topic. I just love the web site and will not use the app because all the random content I come across on the web site actually turns out to be important in broadening my horizons. I stumbled upon the site and have been stumbling around here ever since. Having said that maybe my horizons with continue to broaden and I will have need for the app, so keep up the good work.

    P.S. I stumbled upon this and in all seriousness I have no idea how I got here. Long live randomness!

    Whenever I click the link to Forums from the app/mobile site I get an error message that says, "error loading page". Has anyone else had this problem? If I click the link in this thread to the mobile site it works fine.

    Forums are working fine with BA mobile (and the desktop site) for me.

    Thanks Todd. It must be something with my phone then.

    As we can't replicate the error, feel free to post or email us a screenshot of the error and the exact steps that led to the error.

    Forgot to add, I cannot access any forums. I have tried deleting the "app" and reinstalling. Get the same result every time.

    Is there a way to get to the Top 250 list through the mobile site? I like looking at that list, and I haven't been able to do it.

    That is the exact error that I still get. I have an iPhone 4. When I click the BA badge to go to the mobile site I get into home just fine. When I click on forums that error pops up. All the other links work fine.

    I notice that if I type the address into Safari on my phone I have full access.

    It seems I only get the issue if I save the bookmark to my phones desktop. If I try to navigate the app thru the desktop, that's when I get the error. Very wierd.

    That works for me too. Just for fun I clicked the link in the first post in this thread from Todd and that works for me too. I agree it's when I click the badge from my desktop that it doesn't work.

    I delete and reload and it's the same error. Is the problem in my phone?

    I don't think it is your phone. I think the people being affected are iPhone users. It may be something within the app. I wonder if anything was changed on the app in the last week or so that may be causing the issue.

    I'm curious if it had to do with the server move.

    The BeerAdvocate "app" is not an app. It is a mobile version of the website.

    However, I have also encountered issues on my iPhone 2 weeks ago.

    It's technically a web app. You'd be surprised at how many popular apps are also web apps; wrapped for distribution in app stores.

    For some reason when I'm sending messages via the mobile site my commas (,) turn into %2C and my question marks (?) turn into %3F. Is this happening to anyone else? It makes message quite hard to understand!

    That does not shock me as those are the standard escape sequence for those characters.

    I noticed this today as well, it appears every character is being encoded.

    From the badge added to the home screen%2C I am no longer able to access the application%2Fwebsite as it fails to allow me to login (guessing this might be related to escaping characters%3F). I can access fine from within Safari but the problem exists only when added to the home screen. %0A%0AI'm using an iPhone 4S.

    And as you can see since I posted from my iPhone, the substitution issue is definitely present.

    Any chance that @Mike could comment on what has changed recently and what can be done (if anything) by users to get it working again?

    Thank you for the reports. I believe this character encoding issue has been resolved. It may take a few moments for the fix to work its way through your browser cache. You may speed up the process by clearing your browser cache manually.

    Still have the issue of the invalid login even though the same login works for me on the mobile and full sites from in Safari - failure only when added to home screen.

    Any ideas?

    We need the Top 100 lists!!!

    Also, a 'Last Page' button would be nice for the forums. I don't want to have to use the spinner every time to get to the last page.

    Seems set up well but slow..im just glad BABE doesn't automatically direct you to the mobile version right away and are at least perfecting it first. Cheers to that.
