Apologies if wrong place to post, but what do i need to do to access 77 on iphone (have been added by mod and all good on laptop)?have tried logging out and back in but no luck, am i looking for the board in the wrong place?
― lefal junglist platton (wtev), Sunday, 25 February 2018 20:52 (six years ago) link
hmmm, it should definitely be accessible on iphone if it works on your computer. i know you logged out and back in - maybe it would help to close the app/restart it?

Have you logged in and out on Zing too? If all else fails deleting and reinstalling should sort it
― stet, Sunday, 25 February 2018 23:59 (six years ago) link
Tried those suggestions but no joy.
― lefal junglist platton (wtev), Monday, 26 February 2018 17:01 (six years ago) link
How about an option to turn off board descriptions? So much wasted space with ha ha funny descriptions. I kind of like the bookmark previews tho.

Yeah, I’ve coded up settings for this. Coming next release

This is lovely. Serif dark mode is a treat. Cheers.

Zing needs a feature analogous to the hollow dots to identify threads with new posts.
― American Fear of Pranksterism (Ed), Thursday, 10 May 2018 12:17 (six years ago) link
Otherwise I’m impressed. I haven’t used it in a long time and it seems much improved
― American Fear of Pranksterism (Ed), Thursday, 10 May 2018 12:18 (six years ago) link
yeah it's rock solid now when opening a thread, no funny little jumping around, just goes straight to last read post. a+
― illegal economic migration (Tracer Hand), Thursday, 10 May 2018 13:31 (six years ago) link
Looks great. Still has the bug where if you rotate your phone to landscape mode it jumps back a bunch of posts when you go back to portrait.
― DJI, Thursday, 10 May 2018 14:45 (six years ago) link
Nice update. Thanks! A few comments: In dark mode, the color of URL text is dark blue and literally impossible to read on the grey background.I use dynamic font on an iPhone 6s and it would be cool if that applied to posts when selected - which I often do to see attachments and/ or the text formatting. Or some option to increased font for posts.

still doesn't sync bookmarks with my account :(((((((
― gbx, Thursday, 10 May 2018 14:47 (six years ago) link
I wish I could figure that out. There’s no actual sync involved — everything just gets the list of bookmarks from the server. Somehow it is keeping two separate copies for you. There must be something in your browser thats funky.

Any chance for notifications for updated bookmarked threads?
― licorice oratorio (baaderonixx), Thursday, 10 May 2018 20:36 (six years ago) link
noooo don't
― valorous wokelord (silby), Thursday, 10 May 2018 21:02 (six years ago) link
Bookmark preview isn’t so great when you’re intentionally not reading a thread for a TV show because you haven’t seen the ep yet.
― Jeff, Thursday, 10 May 2018 21:08 (six years ago) link
yeah same with sports. sorry, hate to complain! not into it, just more to scroll through too
― they call me melo gelo (Spottie), Thursday, 10 May 2018 21:14 (six years ago) link
Do people want notifications? I keep thinking about it but I don’t want to make yet another engagement-farming app. Check out these three great challops you missed. Xp agreed on the preview spoilers, I had to remove the Americans thread because of them. Setting to come.
― stet, Thursday, 10 May 2018 21:58 (six years ago) link
i would open zing hourly for free coins

from the ghost of iPhones past: this version, like the previous one, crashes on launch on my hahaha 4s running iOS 9.3.5
― Brad C., Thursday, 10 May 2018 23:21 (six years ago) link
I think I have a 4s around here somewhere, I’ll take a look!
― stet, Thursday, 10 May 2018 23:30 (six years ago) link
Thanks, Stet! I've found that ilxor.com is surprisingly legible/navigable in Safari on my tiny 4s screen

Haha, the Americans bookmark is the one that keeps me from having a clean slate. It's been sitting there for months now as I am yet to catch up. Removing it now and feel better already ;)

― illegal economic migration (Tracer Hand), Friday, 11 May 2018 13:11 (six years ago) link
I would like notifications, those could always be not allowed, or easily disabled.
― Jeff, Friday, 11 May 2018 14:11 (six years ago) link
true
― illegal economic migration (Tracer Hand), Friday, 11 May 2018 14:44 (six years ago) link
Yeah I doubt I would put notifications on rolling Netflix threads or such but could be nice to activate for some low intensity niche threads.
― licorice oratorio (baaderonixx), Friday, 11 May 2018 17:30 (six years ago) link
i feel like bookmarks already perform a lot of the functions that notifications would

Latest update broke the filter threads feature within the forum for me (iPhone 6, latest iOS 11 update). Otherwise, really like the previews.
― Naive Teen Idol, Saturday, 12 May 2018 17:02 (six years ago) link
i hate to complain because i love zing and appreciate that it's there, so much, but i don't think i like the previews, or at least they're not useful for me. i guess i just don't understand the point of them - the previews show up on bookmarked threads with no replies. but in order to clear the bookmark, i'm going to have to open up the thread and read it anyway. so what is the preview for? to decide whether or not to check out the thread? but i'm one of those Inbox Zero people, so it's not like i'm just going to let unread bookmarks sit there for days. i have so many bookmarks that i'd quickly accumulate a couple dozen unread bookmarks if i didn't clear them out.
er, this may be more of an issue with how i use bookmarks than the new preview feature, but i'm wondering if anyone else is in the same boat as me.
― obviously DLC (Karl Malone), Saturday, 12 May 2018 17:17 (six years ago) link
sorry, i meant
the previews show up on bookmarked threads with NEW replies.
No it’s fair — this might be a feature just for me! What I find is I sometimes read a bookmark and it has something I want to check out later (like a video) or something I need to do (like investigate a bug) so I keep the bookmark where it is. But then I can’t see if the thread has updated. I was going to add unread status balls but figured this would be better.
― stet, Saturday, 12 May 2018 18:29 (six years ago) link
the good post you want to read is only rarely the very latest post, ftb the conversational gestalt of ilx so basically karl otm i think
― illegal economic migration (Tracer Hand), Saturday, 12 May 2018 18:39 (six years ago) link
I was going to add unread status balls
i like this idea! or maybe, even just to add a little more information, a number to indicate the number of new posts since you last checked the bookmark. if there are two updated bookmarks, one with the 14 new posts and the other with 1, that provides useful information in a few different ways.
― obviously DLC (Karl Malone), Saturday, 12 May 2018 18:44 (six years ago) link
that's a p dece ideastill holding out for @ing people, which would create a link at the top of the page going straight to the post where you were @ed (or something)
