Can't see 77 on zingAs 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)
― stet, Saturday, 7 January 2012 23:09 (nine years ago) link
Instance should be ILX right?
― blurgh (jjjusten), Saturday, 7 January 2012 23:17 (nine years ago) link
Yeah. Check you don't have a trailing slash on the server bit too.
― stet, Saturday, 7 January 2012 23:19 (nine years ago) link
Test
― blurgh (jjjusten), Saturday, 7 January 2012 23:20 (nine years ago) link
Ha bingo, it was the trailing slash on the server, thx man
Not compatible with iOS 7? Can't get it to launch.
― More Than a Century With the Polaris Emblem (calstars), Friday, 21 June 2013 20:38 (seven years ago) link
Really? Is launching fine for me here on beta 1. Did you reinstall from store?
― stet, Saturday, 22 June 2013 11:08 (seven years ago) link
I did but will try again
― More Than a Century With the Polaris Emblem (calstars), Saturday, 22 June 2013 17:39 (seven years ago) link
Oh wait is this blue Zing? I haven't tested it, but it's built against iOS 3 so not surprised
― stet, Saturday, 22 June 2013 17:48 (seven years ago) link
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?
― stet, Sunday, 29 April 2018 16:53 (two years ago) link
Red
― na (NA), Sunday, 29 April 2018 17:30 (two years ago) link
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
― Dan I., Saturday, 12 May 2018 02:24 (two years ago) link
Uh on the boards page that is. Not a big deal I guess!
― Dan I., Saturday, 12 May 2018 02:25 (two years ago) link
Ah, actually it's like that for the bookmarks too, which is a much bigger deal :(
― Dan I., Saturday, 12 May 2018 02:26 (two years ago) link
What version of iOS are you running? I dev and test on an SE w/ 11.3
― stet, Saturday, 12 May 2018 09:16 (two years ago) link
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.
― stet, Saturday, 12 May 2018 09:28 (two years ago) link
Ah I see, I didn't think of the ios version.
― Dan I., Saturday, 12 May 2018 14:38 (two years ago) link
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
― na (NA), Tuesday, 29 May 2018 00:49 (two years ago) link
Where do you get those links from? The mobile site gives me plain ones.
― stet, Tuesday, 29 May 2018 20:53 (two years ago) link
from the app

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?).
― Hunt3r, Monday, 24 September 2018 14:32 (two years ago) link
yeah, that happened to me recently but with ile - i had to delete the app and reinstall to get it to come back
― CRABCORE’S NOT DEAD (bizarro gazzara), Monday, 24 September 2018 15:03 (two years ago) link
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.

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

I came to mention the “DJs...” thread, too.
― beard papa, Thursday, 13 June 2019 04:12 (one year ago) link
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.

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.
― breastcrawl, Monday, 1 July 2019 11:55 (one year ago) link
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?

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.
― L'assie (Euler), Tuesday, 24 September 2019 17:21 (one year ago) link
Ah sorry that’s a bug. Delete and reinstall it will show up
― stet, Tuesday, 24 September 2019 18:54 (one year ago) link
ok thanks that works!
― L'assie (Euler), Tuesday, 24 September 2019 19:05 (one year ago) link
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:https://i.imgur.com/LDBu6y7_d.jpg?maxwidth=640&shape=thumb&fidelity=medium

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?

It looks like attempting to vote in a poll makes the app crash, fyi. Could just be my phone but that's the first time I've had the app turf out and it did each time I tried.
― Welcome to the Sandwich Trough (Old Lunch), Saturday, 14 December 2019 02:51 (one year ago) link
Sometimes I type something and then highlight it (to apply italics or a link), and all the text disappears?
― Inapt Authority (morrisp), Saturday, 14 December 2019 02:54 (one year ago) link
^ what Old Lunch said. This prevented Eric Clapton from getting any votes in that recent dumb guitar poll
― calstars, Saturday, 14 December 2019 03:45 (one year ago) link
Can also confirm app crashes upon clicking a poll option. Thx!
― Inapt Authority (morrisp), Saturday, 14 December 2019 22:21 (one year ago) link
Ditto on poll voting = app crashing

no need to rush if it means people are prevented for voting from eric clapton in the meantime tbh

Having a new issue: if I type until I reach the bottom of the window, it doesn’t “scroll,” and I can no longer see what I’m typing (the text disappears beneath the keyboard). Other than not be so long-winded, any fix for this? Thx!

Hate it when that happens, especially when I accidentally do the swipe & erase. Sometimes I can switch to landscape mode, although last time I tried that zing died.

speaking of images, long press on an inline image then “save to images” results in immediate crash

Ah, found it. It crashes because I haven't asked for permission to access your photo library. Better do that, then.

I am not entirely on board with zing now intuiting how to format text between slashes or text between asterisks
― sound of scampo talk to me (El Tomboto), Thursday, 20 August 2020 18:34 (six months ago) link
My opinion is that displaying format according to bbcode is fine but automatically converting non-bbcode “formatting” is trying too hard
― sound of scampo talk to me (El Tomboto), Thursday, 20 August 2020 18:38 (six months ago) link
stet, the bookmarks are still a bit out of order... am i correct in thinking they should be ordered by date post was first created? I'm regularly getting a few shuffling in at the bottom from 2020. Not a problem by any means but wondering what that means in terms of the code.
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Thursday, 20 August 2020 18:41 (six months ago) link
