Zing problems

2 things:

Can't see 77 on zing
As of today, getting an error message whenever I try to post via zing

Means you're not logged in. Have you changed your password recently? Go into the account screen and hit save, see if it works then.

Keep using it for a whole after that, there's a bug in the live version that means it takes a few minutes to save the new password to disk. (or you can just reinstall from the App Store to fix)

Instance should be ILX right?

Yeah. Check you don't have a trailing slash on the server bit too.

Test

Ha bingo, it was the trailing slash on the server, thx man

Not compatible with iOS 7? Can't get it to launch.

Really? Is launching fine for me here on beta 1. Did you reinstall from store?

I did but will try again

Oh wait is this blue Zing? I haven't tested it, but it's built against iOS 3 so not surprised

Reinstalled and works now (posting this from it)

Thanks Stet

i keep getting the error message about not being able to post, "possibly because of a login problem" or something like that? i've logged out and logged back in to zing, deleted the app and redownloaded it, and i still get the same message. i know my login obv because i'm posting here. what else should i try?

Which version of Zing? Red or blue?

Red

Oh it just worked. Either it fixed itself or it was an issue specifically trying to post a link to a tweet

Recent update made things break on iPhone SE :(
The preview text is spilling all over the titles and everything's just crammed together on top of everything else

Uh on the boards page that is. Not a big deal I guess!

Ah, actually it's like that for the bookmarks too, which is a much bigger deal :(

What version of iOS are you running? I dev and test on an SE w/ 11.3

Oh hold on, I see it on 5s running 10.3. Is there a reason you want to stay on 10? I'll see what I can do.

Ah I see, I didn't think of the ios version.

i figured out the solution for my problem upthread: if i delete the s=21 from the end of twitter links, they post fine. if i don't i still get the error message

Where do you get those links from? The mobile site gives me plain ones.

from the app

this should be fixed, sorry it took so long

I dont seem to see ILM, and when i go to ILX Boards header to select faves, its not there (though quite a few are there twice?).

yeah, that happened to me recently but with ile - i had to delete the app and reinstall to get it to come back

if you swipe on a board to delete it then it can be very hard to get it back, sorry. delete + reinstall sorts

Thx, will do.

I’m getting a corrupt-messages-in-this-thread message in Zing for the Romania thread. Browser is fine though.

bookmarks weren’t loading in Zing so i logged out but now it doesn’t recognise my uname/pswd

ah n/m just used my old email address and it worked! still no bookmarks tho

i can't remember if i've asked this or not, but is there a way to change my login email address? i can change the email address in preferences, but that doesn't affect my login email

Not really, sorry!

I came to mention the “DJs...” thread, too.

Unrelated, but I’ve noticed in the latest version that if I click a URL in a post, when I use the “Back” at screen top left I always get a blank screen with a hazard triangle, and have to press back again.

^yep, a very small inconvenience, but it’s been there since the latest update.

Yup

Got it - fixed in the next version.

Thanks as always S

Same thing in the Kelela - Cut 4 Me thread. Someone posted a Soundcloud link just now, but I seem to remember there being a problem with this thread before.

this isn’t a problem but would it be possible to specify which browser users can open if they want to launch links outside the app?

I can haz dark mode triggered by iOS “night mode” activation(?)

Not till I upgrade :)

|:-D

Can you add the newish board Je Déteste Tout to zing? It doesn't show up as in "show all boards" and its threads only appear on zing if I have them bookmarked.

Ah sorry that’s a bug. Delete and reinstall it will show up

ok thanks that works!

stet, just fyi — something else funky in iOS 13: the “header” at top of forum view sometimes extends too far down, chopping off most of search bar:

good spot, will take a look thanks

NP, thx... one other thing I’ve noticed is text occasionally being cut off at the end of a thread title:

Zing has given up on French as of Sund4r’s post of an hour ago - « Nous voilà enfin débarrassés de tous ces amateurs » can only be opened in Safari now.

the font size is different in posts and reading threads, but is fine on post subjects and board listings etc. Should I reinstall?

Nm I’m an idiot

Nice update! :)
