Nested sub-menus

I am working on an iOS app and am trying to nest a sub-menu within a sub-menu to provide just one more level of depth to my navigation. (As a simple example, you click Animals in the main menu -> you get a sub-menu with options Cat, Dog, Bird -> you click Dog and get a sub-menu with options Retriever, Shepherd, Dachshund, and those would open pages of info.) However, the capability doesn't seem to be provided at this time. Is this a limitation imposed by iOS, or just a choice that was made in buzztouch? If the latter, is it something that has been considered for future buzztouch upgrades? For now I will probably just link to a mobile page that provides the last menu, but I would welcome any suggestions for other workarounds. Thank you!

Hi E Cassidy, you might want to considering joining the early adopter list which enables you to create v1.5 apps. This shouldn't be a limitation in v1.5. We've recently added an Early Adopter link in your buzztouch account screen so you can add yourself to the list from there.

Thanks, Parker! It's good to know that this is not a limitation in v1.5 - I will check it out. =)

Hi in TX: Also, if this is a v1.4 app there is a BUG in the way the menu system works in the control panel. It's not a limitation, it's broken - funny. See this thread for a workaround: http://www.buzztouch.com/forum/thread.php?tid=28022E43F36B55E Or...do like @Parker suggests, v1.5 is waaaay more flexible.

Oh, brilliant! Thanks, David, for explaining the bug and the workaround. I *knew it didn't make sense for it to be simply disallowed. buzztouch is completely awesome!!
