As you've noticed, the new boards are here. It's understandable that people don't like change but the new boards were desperately needed. Please give them a couple weeks before making any final conclusion. The good thing is that we are in a better position with these boards to make changes - with the old ones we were stuck with what we had.
Below are some of the most common questions associated with the new boards. If you don't find your answer here you can also go to the message board help section where several other board issues are addressed. If you still have a question you can reply to this thread and we'll get back to you ASAP.
Why is my Warchant.com App and the boards on the mobile site not working?
Because the new boards function totally differently and have new URLs, we knew the Warchant App and mobile boards would not function correctly when they were launched. Our developer is submitting the changes for the Apple and Android app so be on the lookout for an update. However, the approval process takes time, especially for Apple.
The mobile boards will no longer be needed! That's because the new boards are totally responsive and optimized for all mobile devices. Doesn't matter what device you are using or operating system, the boards should come up just fine on your phone or tablet. As such, the old mobile boards are now obsolete.
Since the boards are optimized for mobile, there isn't even a real need for the app. You can just bookmark the Tribal Council, or the Warchant Board portal page on your mobile and surf away as you did from the app.
