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

Preview?
― Stoop Crone (Trayce), Thursday, 4 October 2018 23:02 (seven months ago) Permalink
bookmarks in zing show a preview of the latest post in the thread underneath the thread title, takes up a lot of room and often contains spoilers.

Why doesn’t ILX on iphone/safari warn you that other people have posted when you hit submit post?
― 🦆🥣 (FlopsyDuck), Friday, 4 January 2019 21:37 (four months ago) Permalink
I think that was put in because the OG Safari on Edge was so slow that you could get caught in xpost warnings forever on slow threads. Could probably take that out now.

New version rolling out now, mainly small changes:- There's a dark mode toggle in the homescreen- You can now swipe a bookmark left to set it to the latest message, and right to delete it- You can now share a post as a link, or open it in your browser (tap a message and hit the share button)- The single message page now follows the font size set in settings, and looks a bit less 2007.- Zing copes better if messages have corrupt or bad HTML in them, and lets you open the thread in Safari instead of crashing.- The keyboard's now quite dark in dark mode

Yes, but haven't fixed it — it doesn't seem to be totally my fault, the tableview is doing something I can't quite explain but I might be able to work around it.

you left off the “post anyway” feature when xposting, stet, which i was pleased to see tho muscle memory meant i clicked out and posted again anyway obv.
