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 (eleven years ago) link
Instance should be ILX right?
― blurgh (jjjusten), Saturday, 7 January 2012 23:17 (eleven years ago) link
Yeah. Check you don't have a trailing slash on the server bit too.

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?
― stet, Saturday, 22 June 2013 11:08 (ten years ago) link
I did but will try again
― More Than a Century With the Polaris Emblem (calstars), Saturday, 22 June 2013 17:39 (ten 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 (ten 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 (five years ago) link
Red
― na (NA), Sunday, 29 April 2018 17:30 (five 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

Uh on the boards page that is. Not a big deal I guess!
― Dan I., Saturday, 12 May 2018 02:25 (five years ago) link
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
― stet, Saturday, 12 May 2018 09:16 (five 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 (five years ago) link
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
― na (NA), Tuesday, 29 May 2018 00:49 (five years ago) link
Where do you get those links from? The mobile site gives me plain ones.
― stet, Tuesday, 29 May 2018 20:53 (five years ago) link

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 (five 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 (five 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

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 (four years 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.

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:https://i.imgur.com/LDBu6y7_d.jpg?maxwidth=640&shape=thumb&fidelity=medium

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 (three years ago) link
My opinion is that displaying format according to bbcode is fine but automatically converting non-bbcode “formatting” is trying too hard

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 (three years ago) link
example here... may have something to do with the phrase "2020" in the post?http://i.imgur.com/uKbRctA.png
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Thursday, 20 August 2020 18:42 (three years ago) link
so this is an ilx issue but it seems like youtube doesn't embed unless it's https... any reason not to alter to embed http links as well? I think this is a new thing.

YVW. Worth saying that you can also get quotes by hitting the "reply" arrow on an individual message, which also includes the message text. I don't think that was obvious to people.

Is there a known issue with Zing and bookmarking? I'm working my way through the Silicon Valley thread as I catch up on the show, and my slowly shifting bookmark works fine on a browser, returning to me chat about the episode I've just watched, but on Zing, it always takes me to the last 100 messages (starting Nov 4, 2019).
― Alba, Monday, 2 August 2021 19:23 (two years ago) link
This has always been the Zing way. I have been living with it but you are right to complain.
― Two Severins Clash (James Redd and the Blecchs), Monday, 2 August 2021 19:53 (two years ago) link
Yes, this is long-standing – I've made it work right on MacZing, but it hasn't made it to Tooch yet.
