Zing Touch: ILX now ON IPHONE (and ipod tooches too)

the new font seems like it should be harder to read, but somehow I'm finding it easier than the old one

i think i stumbled on a bug:

i was in my account settings (trying to check/change my server) and somehow logged in seven times.

i had seven lists of bookmarks and seven "ilx boards" links.

uninstalled/reinstalled and everything's fine now

Is this thread breaking on zing for anyone else?

Maintaining a Digital Music Collection

yeah i have a few threads that won't load on zing

yesterday i couldn't bookmark my new position on that thread. but i'm using old zing bc i haven't updated ios yet.

I have one thread that won't load. Not enough info yet to suss the common denominator...

and yes, to be clear that thread does not load

the threads load over me like waves

If a thread won't load for me it's usually because somebody's used a weird character in a post somewhere.

Sorry :\

Now I'll never know how to maintain a digital music collection.

on that thread there's and e with an accent and an a with an umlaut and an a grave, some chinese, and an escape character. and a euro sign. but that's about it. my money is on the escape.

yeah that thread doesn't load for me in Zing either, just sits on the "Loading answers..." message

Ditto

you need zune not zing mates

to manage a digital music collection i mean

Who's Zoomin' Zune? (THE OFFICIAL MICROSOFT ZUNE THREAD)

oh, wrinklepaws

We get the Wrinklepaws we deserve, and by that I mean Treeshy

That thread should work now - was a bug server-side. XML doesn't support all the UTF-8 characters, who knew?

I have some problems with that statement but mostly because I do know about really dumb character encoding

does anyone else get jumpy/glitchy movement when scrolling up bookmarks after having just refreshed a bookmark & returned to their bookmark list?

yeah that happens for me as well

I am now on zing on new lolhueg 6+

mh, I was taking that from http://www.sklar.com/archives/96-XML-vs.-Control-Characters.html among other places, and stripping out those characters made it all work. Is it wrong?

nah, my problems are mostly emotional when it comes to character encoding!

it does say right on that page that they're not unicode characters according to that spec, so you'd think any smart parser would give you a mode to remove them but noooooo

yeah that happens for me as well

ditto

Same

another buggy thing i have going on is when i get xposted using zing i get the same "somebody else has posted on this thread in the meantime" error message like half a dozen times in a row before i can go back to the thread.

Yah

Also was emoji support removed?

❓❗

Yeah I get the xpost message an excessive number of times too

Same here. Sometimes like 10x in a row

me too

I'm looking into the xpost thing, I haven't seen it myself, but have suspicions.

I've just sent a new build to Apple, which has a few things
- Supports Dynamic Type, so you can whack the font size up to hueg. But the price is you have to use Helvetica.
- Some of those bugs upthread are fixed
- I've added the system share sheet button. But amazingly the system one doesn't support opening in Safari and you have to roll your own. Fuck Apple on that one, I'll wait till they add it.

Yah

Also was emoji support removed?

On my phone I can post emojis but can't see them in threads

I can see these: 🆒🐺😷

Oh wait, I see what's wrong, yep.

Update live now!

Yeah titles in threads. Awesome.

Thanks Stet!

very nice!

feature request: ability to see a list of bookmarked threads, not just the updated ones

Stet, I have a non-Zing issue. ILX is acting weird in my android Chrome browser on my phone. Is there a thread where I should be posting those types of problems?

Yay @ titles in thread!

lol @ "In Helvetica, blech."

Thanks, Stet

Nitpick, but whatever: if I rotate my phone (iPhone 6), back and forth the page goes backward a post. I also see this if I click into a post and back out - the page slides up a post.

the open-in-safari button is gone/doesn't work now... or am i missing something

Nitpick: I love the share sheet integration, but for URL's I have to actually go to the URL to save it to Pocket. Otherwise it sends the ILX post to Pocket. I would like to be able to just long press on the URL in the post and send to Pocket.
