After spending forever in review, the ILX iPhone app has been approved.
WHAT IT CAN DO- Read and post to ILX (or the Sandbox or any other server running a really recent version of ConversationBoard for that matter)- Set and delete bookmarks- Automatically check for updated bookmarks- See pictures in posts, resized for the screen- Open Youtube and links in its own browser- Quote post text- Easy bold and italics in the post composer- Post drafts automatically saved until you delete or post them
COMING SOON- Polls: Right now the threads are displayed, but the options aren't there and you can't vote- Starting a new thread
WHAT IT WON'T DO- Work with the old-style bookmarks. If you've set them in preferences, unset them to use Zing.
WHAT IT NEEDSOS 3.0 or better (if you've got an old iPod Touch you'll have to upgrade, but 3.0 is miles better anyway)
Zing Lite is free on the app store. There is also the buy-Stet-a-pint version, Zing Touch, which is £4.99/$7.99 and will probably get new features first. Right now they are identical, except for some wee ads in Zing Lite.
Anyway links to the App Store (they open in iTunes): Zing Touch and Zing Lite

I will, happily, because just yesterday I figured out how to do screenshots on an iPhone: as you hold the home button at the bottom, press the sleep button on top. It saves a screenshot to your photoroll, which you can then email to yourself and upload to tinypic.
Give me just a sec...
― nearly one-third of a man (Z S), Saturday, 7 November 2009 15:28 (nine years ago) Permalink
Oops, I didn't see stet's post just above with the link to screenshots. Yeah, it basically looks like that. The only main difference is that pictures don't appear in the thread - you have to click on the individual posts to see them. Which is actually fine, because it makes picture heavy threads load a lot faster.
Again, great work Stet, this is going to make goofing off on ILX waaaaay easier at work now. :)
― nearly one-third of a man (Z S), Saturday, 7 November 2009 15:35 (nine years ago) Permalink
Thank you! Yeah, it's never done the images inline -- the performance would be really horrible and slow. I might look at doing an image browser like in Facebook for picture threads, though.

im embarrassed at how rad i find this app, i mean, i dont want to admit how great it is to use ilx on my iphone, but, you know.
any chance we could get archiving of bookmarks for offline browsing?
― max, Wednesday, 11 November 2009 13:36 (nine years ago) Permalink
you could just use instapaper for all yr offline bookmarkin needs - i find myself using it more than safari these days
― Tracer Hand, Wednesday, 11 November 2009 13:38 (nine years ago) Permalink
Tracer: does it need to save whereever you are, or can it just remember if you're reading a thread or in the middle of compose. I've been trying to save state, but it's a bit tricky as the server can completely change between launches, and threads that were there have dropped off new answers.
Archiving of bookmarks is a good idea actually -- then you could bookmark a post before getting on the subway or w/e, and the whole thing'd be there on the phone. Or I could add in Instapaper integration.
― stet, Wednesday, 11 November 2009 14:15 (nine years ago) Permalink

Exploding angel vagina.
when the screen changes orientation, you move to a difft place in the thread, sort of annoying. that's the only new thing I guess.

Am still working on this. Some things will take longer (offline, saving your place), but in the meantime I've just sent v1.5 to Apple, so it should be with you, er ...
Release notes:NEW- Full poll support: Read and vote in open polls; see results of closed polls- You can now re-order and delete boards.- Deleted boards are hidden from Site New Answers (to restore to defaults, just log in again)- Compose posts with the landscape keyboard- Timezone support. Thread, poll and message timestamps appear in your local timezone.- New buttons for all BBCode tags, including smart completion of images and web links.
UPDATES- Vastly faster bookmarking- Much faster startup and login times- Better quoting of messages for reply- Better account checking in the login screen
FIXES- Site icons are now loaded properly- Threads with very old ilxor.com HTML now load properly- Thread display keeps your place after rotation- Thread status display updates properly after visting a nested thread- Thread scrolls to correct place of permalinked post, if possible

oh yeah, the image and web links thing: if you have an image URL on the pasteboard and hit the image button, it'll automatically be filled out. If you have a URL on the pasteboard and hit the Link button, it'll fill out the long-style URL bbcode and leave space for your title. Otherwise, both just put in the simple tags.

Could there be a better way to signify which threads are polls? I know it says poll there, but it all just blends in with the rest of the text.
― Jeff, Tuesday, 12 January 2010 23:38 (nine years ago) Permalink
Thanks guys!
Gbx: what do you mean about posting from the bottom? I can't make it do what you're saying. I have an idea what it could be though, I'll change it and it see if it fixes it for you.
The buttons: yeah, I don't know where to put them! If they're in a bar you only get one line of text, which is crap. You're not allowed put extra buttons in the navbar at the top, either. Am open to ideas...
(cutty: lol app of shame (every iPhone dev I know has one) TheLovecalc was the first app I ever wrote for the Mac, when I was 13 and thought you could impress girls with computers. So I made it my first iPhone app to try out the store and ads etc.)

Jeff: yeah, I could add a poll badge to the thread line (like the favicon on the boards page), would that be enough? Might make that a pref though.

ok weird it shows what looks to be like two lines of text but when i type nothing shows up. UNLESS: i switch to normal view, at which point the italic/bold/more bar disappears completely. THEN, if i switch back to landscape, the cursor is in the right spot, and i can see what i'm typing

Same as mine. I think I know what the problem is, though: it's to do with it checking what the phone's orientation is.
It sounds like for some reason your accelerometer isn't always reporting which way up your phone is, it's just reporting the changes. (If i'm right, scrolling to the bottom in portrait, opening the compose window and then turning to landscape should work right)
I'll try and write around it.
Xp: yeah the italic bar only shows up in portrait mode (no room in landscape).
― stet, Wednesday, 13 January 2010 00:17 (nine years ago) Permalink
ah, that's the thing. when I hit BM and then open up a response window in landscape, the italic bar IS there and it obscures what I'm writing.

Quick question: if I delete Zing Touch and then download it again, will I have to pay for it again?
I ask because something went horribly wrong with it a few weeks ago, and since no one else has mentioned it, I'm assuming it's something with my phone and I need to reinstall it. All my bookmarks were deleted, and whenever I try to add a new one, the app crashes. Also, it won't let me post new messages.

hi stet, i use zing just about everyday, thanks again for developing and releasing it.
a few quick suggestions that might be useful for the next update (if you're planning on updating, that is)
- when posting a new message, it would be nice if the trashcan icon could be moved farther away from the keypad. several times i've been feverishly typing out a message, a paragraph or two deep, and then I accidentally miss a letter and trash the whole message.- alternatively, maybe a warning message would suffice, e.g., "are you SURE you want to delete your message?"- a remove bookmark function would be helpful. - probably much much more difficult to implement, but a search function would be sweeeeet

this is how it works for me: click the thread with the poll. the first "message" should say something like "3 poll options". click it.the next screen will list the poll options. click the one you want to select.

hey stet zing is awesome
it crashes for me on occasion but no more than any other great app. obv, being able to start threads and use a search function would be great, but jumping over to safari for that isn't too hard.
my number one request/ complaint however is this:
-if you have a thread bookmarked on a message that is more than 100 posts from the end of the thread, zing will only take you to the last 100 posts, and not to your bookmarked post.
obv not a problem that comes up too much, but it would be nice to have fixed in an update.

Not really complaining, but one minor glitch: occasionally when I touch a thread, it just instantly closes down and I'm back on the iPhone home screen. As crashes go, it's not that inconvenient or frustrating (like a freeze-up or time-out would be).

That's actually quite a hard one, Grady. Will have a think.
Crashes: If you sync with iTunes, you'll find crash logs in these folders:Mac OS X : ~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/MobileDevice/<DEVICE_NAME>Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\<USERNAME>\Application Data\Apple computer\Logs\CrashReporter/<DEVICE_NAME>Windows Vista: C:\Users\<USERNAME>\AppData\Roaming\Apple computer\Logs\CrashReporter/MobileDevice/<DEVICE_NAME>
Look in that folder, find the ones with "Zing" in the title, and fire 'em off to stet @ ilxor and i'll take a look. Lots of them likely to be fixed in the latest update, though.

I'm...wondering...was there a problem with using a normal browser via the iphone or similar device? I never had a smart phone before now but this droid thing seems to do okay with ILX although it doesn't remember where I left off a long thread and return me to my exit point. But other than that, it seems v functional.
― I've got ten bucks. SURPRISE ME. (Laurel), Wednesday, 22 September 2010 21:22 (eight years ago) Permalink
IIRC this whole thing came about because stet was messing around with Apple application development and made an ILX reader as a test application, which he then converted into an iPhone app

It's so that when yr fave threads get updated, you can 1)see that there are new posts (useful for when you haven't been ilx-ing for a while and a thread you're interested in has a new post or posts but is sunk beneath many other threads), and 2) takes you directly to where you left off in reading the thread

1.9's approved and should go live tonight! Changes:
NEWMultitasking is enabled on supported devices, including remembering your place and faster startup. (iOS 4+)You can now start new threads.You can undo the button actions in compose windows, including the trashcan.
FIXESA crash that could happen when deleting a bookmark has been fixed.Now warn when trying to set bookmarks with old-style bookmarking set in settings.Thread timestamps now update correctlyBetter handling of a changed password.Properly uses the serif font in the message detail view (thx Ben)Fixes an issues where reordered boards weren't saved. (thx Ben(Thanks also to sunny for lots of testing)
Also: I know Zing Lite's pretty neglected -- made some mistakes that mean updating it is harder than it should be -- so I've put Zing Touch on sale for $2 until I can sort it out. If you use it a lot it's probably worth it -- there's a ton of bug fixes and features in ZT.

zing touch has been very wonky for me lately. huge long pauses in posting, a couple weird error messages (one that goes by so fast i can't remember it, something about "new style" of messages?), frequently URLs won't open either
― tickle me imo (s1ocki), Tuesday, 14 December 2010 13:35 (eight years ago) Permalink
It does grey out. But besides my frantic, impatient repeated pushing the Post button, there was at least one inexplicable triple post, perhaps due to a twitchy thumb.

That error message about the old-style bookmarks comes up when the connection drops out. I suspect the error text is just wrong.
― gay Air New Zealand flight attendant Will Coxhead (Autumn Almanac), Tuesday, 14 December 2010 20:27 (eight years ago) Permalink
I see this too and am on it. I haven't changed in anything in the relevant bits, so I'm guessing it's iOS 4.2. That bookmark error is actually supposed to be a suggestion -- the idea is that it comes up when bookmarking fails and suggests you might try double-checking the setting in preferences, but there wasn't enough space to make it clear. Am rewriting all that code just now anyway for increased betterness.
(I also see the huge long pauses in posting in Chrome on ILX sometimes too. Wonder if they're related. (I use Google networking code)).

Is anyone else having a problem with missing text? I'll use it for a couple of days and then threads will load with text missing all over the place.
These things fix it:
- clearing memory using System Activity Monitor app- closing a load of open apps- rebooting phone
It happens in Tapatalk as well (link here, scroll down to CptanPanic's post) so I assume it's an iOS library issue.

When text takes up more space than fits in the post window, the cursor and text I'm typing disappears below the bottom of the box instead of the text scrolling up so I can see what I'm typing. Is this normal and does it happen for everyone? I thought didn't used to do that. I get around it hitting return a bunch of times and going back to what I was writing.
An odd thing happened today: a couple of times the text I was writing switched became invisible. I could see what I'd written before, but everything else after a certain point wouldn't show up, but it was definitely there b/c I could see it when I selected the text. I'm sure that's just a glitch in particular copy of the app on my phone, but I thought it was strange.

― ⚓ (gr8080), Monday, 13 February 2012 00:15 (seven years ago) Permalink
The disappearing text for me has mostly been an overzealous keyboard/toolbar area where the text is behind the toolbar. Maybe it's not calculating the cursor position re: the toolbar correctly?
― valleys of your mind (mh), Monday, 13 February 2012 00:17 (seven years ago) Permalink
Yeah, this one's a pity. In iOS 2-4, it didn't calculate the heights of the multi-line text fields correctly, so I had to make it deeper than it should have been. They fixed that bug for iOS 5, which means Zing is now set too deep.
It's an easy fix, I'll push out a change soon.

Just sent new version to Apple. Not a huge amount of changes, but fixes some long-standing stupid bugs (including the compose window being too big), adds support for multiple sites/accounts, does a much faster job of bookmarking and checking bookmarks and some other stuff.
Have also whacked the price down to Tier 2, which I think is $2. This will probably be the last version that works on iOS 4-5, next (which am working on now) will require 6.

That's not a bad idea. Where it lives now it is right in the path of certain finger arcs that lead to, among others, the 'A' key, the 'E' key and the Shift-key, keys that seem to get hit reasonably often.

Do you think it might be worth getting rid of the "DELETE EVERYTHING YOU JUST WROTE" button?

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.

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.

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.

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)

missing posts things happens for me, especially on high-volume threads - it seems to grab something like the last 100 messages and tacks them on to the bit of the thread I was at when I'd last loaded it. It's a bit confusing sometimes but I'd taken it as a data-conserving feature & never really minded.
New one looks great stet, cannot wait.

Oh that suggests something I can look at, yes. It does load the last 100 posts. But when there's a gap it's supposed to add the "load more posts" marker. It's possible if you are keeping high-volume threads open for a long time the marker is going in the wrong place.

the missing post thing as I get it is when I load a bookmark; but maybe it's because it only loads the last 100 posts since the bookmark? on fast moving threads that's not enough. so I end up not reading on zing fast moving bookmarked threads. if there's a way to improve that it would be great.

okay so I figured "this won't be bad, maybe some awkwardness and depending on how it is I'll either keep going to the kitchen or run back to my room"so of course I walk out there and she's got her ass in the air while this scrawny indie fop WEARING A TRUCKER HAT AND NOTHING ELSE is attempting to INSERT HIS COCK IN HER ASS.
ON MY COUCH
I go out and this sight actually caused me to go "oh ugh god!" My roommate tumbled out of her awkward position onto the floor landing on her shoulder and Trucker Hat fell to his side with a grunt. my roommate shrieked "what are you doing home?!" and scampered into her room, almost on all fours, past me. she slammed the door behind her. Trucker Hat gathered his pants and RAN INTO THE KITCHEN
of course i followed him and he was sputtering "sorry dude sorry dude" and I just said "let me get my sandwich and you go clean up MY couch!" he again said "sorry sorry sorry" and ran out of the kitchen and to the bedroom, he pounded on the door and asked to be let in, and my roommate let him in.

My issues:
-Please consider adding an option for a thicker font. So hard to read. I'm finding it easier to just go back to the web version, at least I can zoom in on it.-Did you use to retain the title of the thread at the top when you loaded it? The way it is now, I click and if I forgot what thread I'm in I have to go all the way back to the top, then back down to where I was to read the thread.-When loading a thread the info/status bar at the bottom covers up the bottom half of the last post. Small thing, but an annoyance all the same.
Everything else is good.

Weird, I haven't seen this one before. You mean the big spinner keeps spinning, or the one by the network signal indicator?
Also, do you have any bookmarks?
― stet, Wednesday, 11 February 2015 18:15 (four years ago) Permalink
I love the Clear/Clear? button! It should make everyone happy. Also love the link, image, bold, etc buttons all being in one row.
Improvements would be to display the thread title once in the thread, as prev. mentioned, plus a spinner when clicking on a link, so you know you've actually succeeded at clicking on it. And URL or page title once in a webpage. But mostly thank you and I hope to donate as soon as it becomes possible.

Yeah thread title is a big one, every thread looks like it's called "zing touch". It's amazing how quickly I forget which thread I clicked on.
Also is there still no way to see all your bookmarks? Search didn't seem to work, and I had to go into safari to find them the other day.
Looks great though, I dig it.

Big spinner. Basically if I'm in SNA and pull to refresh it does refresh the first time, but stays there spinning forever above the refreshed list. And iirc I can't refresh again while it's doing that - I have to go back to the home screen/board/bookmark list.
(I've got one bookmark hanging around that I haven't cleared up/updated for a few days.)

one additional thing - after a couple of weeks of zero ILX time I've got an embarrassing number of bookmarks. scrolling *up* through them (and it does seem like it's just up) is p glitchy.

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.

zing does something kind of weird that i don't understand:
when i'm in a thread, and i tap on a post (to view a photo of video for example) then tap back to the thread view, it will scroll UP a few posts
it seems very counter-intuitive, like it should auto-scroll DOWN or at the very least stay put
it can also make looking at photo-threads very difficult

I'm sure it has been mentioned before, but having a mechanism to move to the next post (and backward) without returning to the full thread of posts would help alleviate the issue. Especially for the image heavy threads.

yo stet I don't think it's an issue in zing but as I haven't hunted down the normal bug thread:
index.jsp isn't parsing content encoding the same way as other pages. the html sent to client is utf-8 as on other pages, but bookmarked threads with updates at the top show "?" instead of special characters -- the music notes in the "caek's corner" thread is a good example, as is a recent chicago thread.

admittedly I had been playing around and noticed that you can swipe left-delete the sna, show all boards and settings buttons as though they are bookmarks (this crashes the app btw if anyone's curious), not sure if that has caused this problem
― O, Barack: flaws (wins), Sunday, 10 July 2016 20:05 (two years ago) Permalink
Oh yeah, thanks for that — I'd forgotten about all that. It's a remnant from the very first version of Zing, which let you delete boards from the home screen and would then hide all their threads. I'll do a fix.
To get them back in the meantime, go into accounts, open your account and hit login again. Iirc that should restore them. (If not, reinstalling will)

IMPORTANT: As you might have noticed, a bug in Zing means that it didn't handle tonight's ILX upgrade properly and existing ILX accounts are failing to connect. The fast fix is to delete Zing and reinstall from the App Store. It should work OK after that.
(If you don't want to do that, you can try deleting your account from the settings page by swiping left, and then adding it again. But this is where the bug lies, so it might not work. If it doesn't, reinstall from the App Store).

Yes am afraid this might be the end for the old Zings: "It Is A Mystery" often means "your login cookies expired and we couldn't get new ones".
As the server has changed, old zings would have worked until their cookies expired. Most will have expired now. I'd update them, but Apple makes it incredibly difficult to build software for old iOS devices nowadays

One thing that's possible is people are mistapping the bookmark icon. I've found myself doing it.
Also, to successfully bookmark you both have to hit the button dead-on *and* wait for the "bookmark set" message. If you miss or go back too early, it won't be set. That has been driving me nuts.
What it shouldn't affect is bookmarks set on the site appearing in the updated bookmarks list. Are you seeing that?
― stet, Saturday, 10 December 2016 15:54 (two years ago) Permalink
Zing/ilx just don't communicate at all, w/r/t bookmarks
like if i open zing right now, threads that i read and bm'd on the website are showing up in the list. if i bm them in zing, they go away, but that isn't reflected over on ilx.

Do you guys use the standard font or switch to helvetty? What is this standard font called?
― Treeship, Sunday, 11 December 2016 00:15 (two years ago) Permalink
i use the serif font
― illegal economic migration (Tracer Hand), Sunday, 11 December 2016 00:30 (two years ago) Permalink
Iago no. It's the last thing missing imo. Still love and use the app everyday tho

Are there any plans for a full-functionality Android app? Happy to pay for something along the lines of this with log-ins, bookmarks, notifications, etc.
― NI, Wednesday, 14 December 2016 18:51 (two years ago) Permalink
Zing doesn't even have notifications yet. But there's an early (unofficial) Android app up thread you can play with ^^

I'm sorry if this is old business, but the xpost bug is the worst thing ever and I personally would prefer there to be no xpost warning at all and I wonder if others feel similarly

indeed!

The xpost bug is a bloody bastard and I promise to try and fix it. It drives me personally crazy so you're not alone. It's just hard to fix.
― stet, Thursday, 15 December 2016 22:49 (two years ago) Permalink
i have come to treat it like a short timing and prediction game
― illegal economic migration (Tracer Hand), Thursday, 15 December 2016 22:58 (two years ago) Permalink
cool :-) but in the meantime I honestly would be ok with the warning simply not coming up at all, if that's possible/easy to implement?
― banfred bann (wins), Thursday, 15 December 2016 23:02 (two years ago) Permalink
Unfortunately not - that's a rule in the server. You have to see it once, then you can say "ignore xposts". That's where the bug lies.
― stet, Friday, 16 December 2016 02:11 (two years ago) Permalink
Me and diamonddave85 are working on it.

That's great to hear! I don't know if this goes against any unspoken ILX rules but I'd be more than happy to put money towards this for your time & effort.

does the delete button on the app just /remove bookmark/?

I can't seem to log in on my iPhone? Tried retrieving my password, but can't seem to "get it". Fuck

iPad version is the bomb

Did the font change recently?
― Mordy, Wednesday, 25 January 2017 01:09 (two years ago) Permalink
I can't turn my font into a heart. So I am going to say no.
― Michael F Gill, Wednesday, 25 January 2017 01:55 (two years ago) Permalink
I changed the serif font on the last release because the old one looked a bit mish on iPad; the standard font is the Apple default one, and that changed from Helvetica to San Francisco with iOS 10, perhaps you saw one of those two?
― stet, Wednesday, 25 January 2017 11:34 (two years ago) Permalink
it looks ok, i just noticed it looked different
― Mordy, Wednesday, 25 January 2017 16:36 (two years ago) Permalink
Just switched to dynamic font and loving it.

Spotify - anyone heard of it?^won't load on Zing Touch since yesterday. Maybe to do with some faulty links that've been pasted in there?

thanks, got it

Same for me. I just switched to Apple Music so I don't have to read the thread anymore.

Is there a reason Zing doesn't show the poster's name? I know that takes up space but it's kind of an important part
― Screamin' Jay Gould (The Yellow Kid), Wednesday, 3 May 2017 01:51 (one year ago) Permalink
It does, above the post. Or do you mean something else?
― stet, Wednesday, 3 May 2017 06:55 (one year ago) Permalink
Oh, maybe this is a Zing vs Zing Lite thing? Using Zing Lite if I read a thread it shows the messages but not any post info like who posted it. You have to click each message to see that stuff.
― Screamin' Jay Gould (The Yellow Kid), Wednesday, 3 May 2017 11:39 (one year ago) Permalink
Ah, yeah Zing Lite is pretty old and busted, sorry. If you're on a newer iOS (which would cause the username to hide), proper Zing is a *lot* better.
― stet, Wednesday, 3 May 2017 11:41 (one year ago) Permalink
It is totally worth $2.99.

i just discovered the "block poster" button :D

I'm now getting only one xpost pop up much more often. Server side fix?
