cosign with DJI - also if you tap a Twitter post on e.g. the image, any linked video won't link correctly, but if you tap on the date of the post, it loads correctly and you can tap through to the video or images linked.A small thing too - when shifting day-to-night and vice versa using standard type appearance, the big headlines stay in the colour of the old mode (i.e. they stay white, on a light background, or black on a dark background). If it was possible for Zing to switch to night mode when the phone does so, that would be awesome, but maybe break things for folks not on iOS 13.Offered only in the spirit of wanting to help, not complaint - it's a great app!

As others have said, I'd have been happy to pay for this upgrade.

Challops version going to Apple, fixing:- Lines are back between messages- Orientation bug is fixed at last- Twitter videos now play inside the message view(!) - And stop playing when you leave the view
I can't fix the dark/light switch not changing the headlines without dropping iOS 12 support (as far as I can tell) and there are way too many people still not on iOS 13 yet.

4.1 is rolling out now with all those fixes above, plus you can now sort search results and search within just one board.
(Challops: you can no longer filter just the threads on a New Answers, but that'll come back)

Very very slick update stet, the attention to detail is impressive

Great job - justr a minor thing: any way to reinstate the "XX hours/days ago" time stamp beneath posts?

a niggle - occasionally when composing, dragging the cursor to the beginning of the post, or maybe just elsewhere in the compose window, erases all the text!
― Li'l Brexit (Tracer Hand), Wednesday, 11 December 2019 12:17 (four years ago) link
Wow, I’ve never seen that! Does a double tap with three fingers and pressing the undo arrow (on iOS 13) or shaking (on iOS 12) bring it back?
― stet, Wednesday, 11 December 2019 13:06 (four years ago) link
just tried and no. can be hard to replicate but try swiping with one finger fairly quickly pretty much anywhere in the compose window after entering some text.
― Li'l Brexit (Tracer Hand), Wednesday, 11 December 2019 13:13 (four years ago) link
Got it! It doesn’t erase the text for me but it does make the keyboard vanish. I’ll investigate
― stet, Wednesday, 11 December 2019 13:15 (four years ago) link
Sorry to report I’m running into some problems in the new version:During search the screen goes blank when entering the search term. Search results show up, but won’t link through when selected. It then gets stuck on the results screen for ages, with no apparent way out, making the app temporarily unusable.
Also, embedded tweets won’t link through to the source tweet on Twitter directly in many (most?) cases, unlike before.
I’m on iOS 12, as noted upthread.
― breastcrawl, Saturday, 14 December 2019 18:15 (four years ago) link
What device are you using, breastcrawl? I'll take a look
I've also confirmed there's a bug with polls which means you can't vote for an option - fixing now

Hey Stet in night mode the text in the search box comes up black so it’s invisible. It worked fine, just had to type carefully.
― Tim, Saturday, 14 December 2019 22:28 (four years ago) link
Not sure it’ll make it out from Apple before Christmas, but a bug fix version has been sent to them. Fixes almost everything mentioned here - poll voting, twitter links, the search colour*, edited text vanishing, etc. (Can’t reproduce what you’re seeing breastcrawl but will keep looking!)* this is still broke after you have just changed colour, close and reopen app to fix.
― stet, Sunday, 22 December 2019 10:58 (four years ago) link
thanks stet. fingers crossed...
― breastcrawl, Sunday, 22 December 2019 13:38 (four years ago) link
+1 on the bug where a bunch of stuff gets erased when composing and the keyboard goes blank (grey) for a minute when doing selecting, cutting and pasting. Basically, when it comes back, I have an earlier version of the text I’d been working on. I don’t normally mention bugs but this one is pretty bad in that it prevents much in the way of editing longer posts. I’m on 13.3 and an XS in night mode.
― Naive Teen Idol, Saturday, 11 January 2020 15:14 (four years ago) link
Yeah, it was terrible, sorry: the version fixing it is waiting for review with Apple now
― stet, Thursday, 16 January 2020 21:42 (four years ago) link
ime (13.3/iPhone8), threads that are polls do not show poll results when you select them through search
― willem, Friday, 17 January 2020 09:12 (four years ago) link
Yeah, that's right. Tricky to fix, that -- I'll see if I can come up with something.

Two things I’ve noticed: * Trying to vote in a poll results in immediate crash. 100% reproducible. * Links to other ILX thread now launch the web version in a browser, and requires login. I use an iPhone X (13.3)
― beard papa, Friday, 17 January 2020 22:07 (four years ago) link
yeah, they're both fixed now

Thanks, stet. My appraisal:All Twitter links do open again, yay! In most cases they don’t link through to the Twitter app itself, unlike before-before, but I’ll take it.Poll voting works again (voted cashew!).The search function is still fucked for me though, both in dark and light mode:-I can’t see what I’m writing-search results do show up, and can be sorted-but when I click on the result of my liking it doesn’t link me through-worst of all, I can’t leave the results page to go back or move on and do something else. The page is stuck there. All I can do is sit it out and try the app again at some later point, hoping that by then it has decided it’s time to refresh itself.(Apparently this is a problem only I have. Will have to continue to do my searching on Safari, I guess)
― breastcrawl, Saturday, 18 January 2020 12:36 (four years ago) link
Je déteste tout, our very own French-language board, seems to be partly Zing-incompatible. Its main thread, 'Nous voilà enfin débarrassés de tous ces amateurs', apparently comes with 'some old or corrupted messages ... which Zing can't read'. Quite the indictment.
― pomenitul, Saturday, 18 January 2020 12:42 (four years ago) link
As I tried to edit my earlier post (which I wrote outside the app) within the app I experienced a brand new problem:I couldn’t scroll down/navigate in the text I had prepared to get to the bottom section that wasn’t immediately visible.Also, it seems you have to actively clear previous texts from memory or else it overrules the reply function. Is this just me again? (iPhone6/12.4.4)Now I want my old Zing back...
― breastcrawl, Saturday, 18 January 2020 12:51 (four years ago) link
This is super-odd. I wonder if it’s an iOS 12 issue. Madchen has one of those, I’ll test on hers.
― stet, Saturday, 18 January 2020 13:09 (four years ago) link
Yes, I see the scroll issue I think. The search is working though. Huh.
― stet, Saturday, 18 January 2020 13:10 (four years ago) link
I'm too poor to be deemed worthy of iOS 13, so that may well be it.
