Oh man! I corrupted ILX! Can you delete it? Should I do a mod request?
― carl agatha, Friday, 11 July 2014 22:22 (nine years ago) link
Always thought you were a corrupting influence.

I'm strangely proud of myself.

This post breaks zing for some crazy reason: Specimen in the Jar

Similar to the carl agatha one. It looks like the character in "Complas" that looks like an "l" is not, in fact an l.
― stet, Sunday, 13 July 2014 19:32 (nine years ago) link
Sorry, that's my screen. I mean that there's something between the "p" and "a" in "Compas" that's buggering things up.
― stet, Sunday, 13 July 2014 19:33 (nine years ago) link
Which I'm guessing is the acute gone bad.
Yes. Exactly. It was a cut and paste of 'a' with an accent.

Seconding carls request to delete ilx
― max, Sunday, 13 July 2014 20:10 (nine years ago) link
You guys forgot to ask politely, thusly- delete ilx now, please.

deleting.
while I'm here, does anyone use the bold/italic/quote/code/etc buttons in Zing's post composer? I'm doing the iOS 7-ication now, and it'll be a pain to do all those again if I don't have to

I use italic fairly often.

How hard is it to redo fat-finger trash can button? Because if it's too hard, I see don't go to the trouble and just leave it out.
― Albiceleste Square Mall (James Redd and the Blecchs), Sunday, 13 July 2014 22:37 (nine years ago) link
hey stet fwiw zing is the one app i definitely wouldn't bitch about having to pay for again when a new version comes out
― sktsh, Sunday, 13 July 2014 22:48 (nine years ago) link
Thank you! I might actually do it as a new app, the iOS 7 look is pretty different from the old-school one, and I can see people preferring the old-school one, at the expense of getting any new features.
I've made the Trash button require two presses now. And fixed the Undo!
― stet, Sunday, 13 July 2014 23:03 (nine years ago) link
Thanks!

i seem to recall there were some challenges doing search in the app? that's the main feature i'd love to see.
― call all destroyer, Sunday, 13 July 2014 23:07 (nine years ago) link
Yeah; the version I'm working on has filtering of loaded threads, which is a step in the right direction (eg for any of the threads Zing knows about you can find them by name).
Actually doing Search is a little bit further off.
― stet, Sunday, 13 July 2014 23:08 (nine years ago) link
oh thats a good feature, definitely will help.
stet while i have you, do you know why sometimes clicking on a link from board to board takes me to a logged-out view of the site?
― call all destroyer, Sunday, 13 July 2014 23:12 (nine years ago) link
If I want to read something amusing if relatively clueless, Chuck Klosterman already exists.

Ha, wrong thread!
― Albiceleste Square Mall (James Redd and the Blecchs), Sunday, 13 July 2014 23:18 (nine years ago) link
cad: do you mean on the site proper? It's because we're on both www.ilxor.com and ilxor.com and the code treats those as two different sites (mostly for historical reasons that sometimes prove handy).
If you're logged in on eg ilxor.com and someone makes a link to www.ilxor.com, when you click it you'll get the logged out view. And vice versa.
― stet, Sunday, 13 July 2014 23:20 (nine years ago) link
It's like that one Monty Python sketch where sometimes they are on film and then they go through a door and are on tape.

stet i love zing.

stet that must be it, thanks!
― call all destroyer, Sunday, 13 July 2014 23:36 (nine years ago) link
i use the italic button on zing all the time. Pls keep it!
While Search would be nice, it would be almost as good to be able to view all my bookmarked threads. (Same as clicking the Bookmarks link at the top or bottom of the web view).
Would pay for zing again, def.

I use them all the time.
Also I would gladly pay for the app again. I probably use it more than any other except email and maybe Threes.

> If you're logged in on eg ilxor.com and someone makes a link to www.ilxor.com, when you click it you'll get the logged out view. And vice versa.
could be solved if the links were coded relative rather than abosolute (ie leave off the hostname)
― koogs, Monday, 14 July 2014 06:22 (nine years ago) link
Yes, would repay.

Also, stet if you need some volunteer subcontracting work on zing (been Obj-C guy forever) let me know.
― Elvis Telecom, Friday, 18 July 2014 02:54 (nine years ago) link
Thanks! One thing I could definitely do with the time to investigate is a fast way to get an NSAttributedString out of our limited subset of HTML. (There's a attributedStringWithHTML call, but it appears to spin up webkit in the background and takes forever. This needs to be incredibly quick as it'll be called for every message displayed). I can do it easily on Mac by applying Bold and Italic traits, but that's not supported on iOS. I've filed a radar and my plan's to wait for them to support that, as otherwise I can't see how to do it in any reasonable sort of time.
(I was also thinking I could store the NSAttributedStrings in the DB here and fire them straight at the client, but there doesn't seem to be a good serialisation of NSAttributedString that doesn't take a lot of work to deserialise anyway)

How are Zing Touch and Zing Lite differentiated?
― fields of salmon, Tuesday, 12 August 2014 16:52 (nine years ago) link
Zing Lite is free, and I haven't updated since day dot, which means it works on the OG iPhone, but has fewfeatures. It has ads.
Zing Touch is pay-for, but has lots of features, including:

Zing Touch (tm) will also:
― dustups delivered to your door (Aimless), Tuesday, 12 August 2014 17:33 (nine years ago) link
Losing socks would be a better feature.
― a curious shade of pale (onimo), Tuesday, 12 August 2014 18:11 (nine years ago) link
Also Zing Touch has a red trucker hat.
― Madchen, Tuesday, 12 August 2014 18:17 (nine years ago) link
Zing Touch is well worth the $.
― carl agatha, Tuesday, 12 August 2014 19:10 (nine years ago) link
if you follow the zing touch money trail, it will take you to the front steps of the Brentwood Johnny Garlic's

Anyone else getting my problem?
Yeah this is a new thing tho. Only about two days old AFAIK.

fixed now; a stray "&" in the ILE board description.
