(LOL @ you = too slow)

Pint version bought. This is v. great.

YAY! AND IM IN THE SCREENSHOTZ!

I kind of love that max's display name in one of the screenshots got the phrase "rip dom passantino" into the App Store.

ok maybe one of the best iPhone apps so far ON IPHONE

Posting from zing litr, works great, thanks!

Happily contributed to Stet's collection of pints.

oh so excited for this, will purchase you a pint soon, thx so much stet!

Now posting ON IPHONE

I am posting from Zing Touch.

Im sure I am just dense but what are the diffs btwn the paid and free zinger? I need to update my tooch sw before i can even use this anyway.

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.

Ah of course. Going blind is me.

Another pint from me, raa!

Oh, and I got it direct from the ON IPHONE app store.

Featurerequests: reordering of boards in the board list, so I can drag my favourites to the top. And those little filled-or-hollow bullet points that tell me whether there are new posts in a thread.

amazing!!

lol @ tipping thred in screenshots - says it all, really

I am rockin this now and it is awwwwesome

can someone please post screenshots here for those of us who are itms:// deficient

I have posted a review.

Stet this is really cool and would be even better if I had an Iphone :-( great work though.

just one question ... what the hell are you drinking at £4.99 a pint????

it's ten bucks for us, more like "buy me a jug"

lol at screenshot #4

prediction: stet's gonna get wasted!

Oh god, he'll turn up at mine and make me drink vodka with a Blue Aftershock mixer.

Anyway, yes. This is truly a piece of aceness.

Stellar.

it's a (I believe) 70/30 split between Apple and stet, so I think it work out to about a pint :^)

stet this is awesome, thanks so much man!

Pint from me! Thank you!

Awesome stuff, thanks very much, everyone! I really appreciate it. I had no idea there were so many iphones on here.

koogs: There's some slightly out-of-date-but-mostly-right screenshots in this post

JimD: Yeah, am working on editing the boards that appear on the start page so you can cut it down to your favourites and reorder etc.

update on my search problem:

at some point I discovered that search actually does work fine for me when I do it on the bookmarks page. the issue I described back in Dec and Jan is with searching on
one of the board pages. so basically I’m good as long as I think before I search.

New version going out now with support for hidden text

and experimental styling in posts

Hey, stet, poss. I missed this upthread but are you aware poll results aren’t showing? Not the end of the world as I can pull them up on Safari and I’m not sure if it’s only a problem with older threads. But I’ve noticed it a bunch when searching through various poll threads of late.

Have you got some examples, please? All the ones I've looked at so far are working OK for me

I'm thinking it may be the same issue reported earlier:

ime (13.3/iPhone8), threads that are polls do not show poll results when you select them through search

Yeah, that's right. Tricky to fix, that -- I'll see if I can come up with something.

― stet, Friday, January 17, 2020 6:56 PM (eight months ago) bookmarkflaglink

ahhh shit yes, that remains tricky

i can't remember if i've said this before but trying to save an image from zing results in an instant crash.

x-post
Take your time it's no big deal for me

Talking about pictures, would it be possible to allow for zooming in on pictures when selecting a post?

^ mentioned previously, I think stet said it's just a matter of putting in the time to make this possible.

just yesterday I tried to zoom in on a fan at a baseball game eating a tremendous bag of popcorn (to no avail)

The workaround is to bookmark a post from the poll thread and then open it from the bookmark if that helps

Yeah that works, thanks!

stet can we get a q button to go with b, i, u in the edit window?

Cosigned

(Who uses u?)

It really is becoming vestigial isn’t it? (Everywhere, not just here) I think possibility of confusion with links must have done for it. Fine. Farewell, underline

Adios, muchacho

Is this the thread for thread-specific technical issues? Rolling Classical 2020 can’t be loaded in Zing, saying:

There are some old or corrupted messages in this thread which zing can’t read

Should be fixed, thanks!

thanks for the "𝐐" stet! used it today!

fuck, do we have to deprogram caek now?

breadcrumb caek

Because the Zing icon looked a bit like a MAGA cap, I’ve taken to calling it Hat FM in tribute to the UK Office.

It’s better than a MAGA hat, it’s a hipster fucker trucker hat.

Hi, can’t find it anywhere, but I’m having triuble with Zing— none of my bookmarks are working, tho I’m logged in and so forth. It appears to be attempting to load them but then I get the ! inside a triangle symbol. Any help appreciated!

I had that. Logging out of Zing and in again helped, though it still doesn’t seem to be syncing bookmarks between Zing and web as reliably as it was.

ah okay. tried that once to no avail but will try again. merci!

same thing. i even uninstalled and re-installed :/

Ugh, sorry! is this still happening? I'll take a look

stet, it resolved itself on its own, without any signing out or uninstalling etc. works fine now! not sure what the issue was. thank you, tho!

has zing been delisted from the apple app store? just tried to install zing ON (new) IPHONE and can’t seem to find it anymore

Oh that’s strange, not showing for me either.

same here. funnily enough I had a problem with the app some time last month and removed it. it was still in the store then or I wouldn’t be here now (perish the thought)

Sorry about that – I need to pay Apple yearly to stay on the store, and they had an expired credit card on file. Should be back shortly!

thanks stet!

Not exactly urgent, but I am finding that the latest version of this app crashes when I am reading a message and tilt it to landscape. I’m on iOS 16.3.1.

It’s been like that for years, for me.

Any chance the dark mode could be tied to the system setting? The number of phones without that feature must be pretty small now.

Love this app and have a feature request:
In-app toggle to lock orientation - I don't think I'll ever use landscape mode on my phone.

I've put it on the list, but while you wait this is pretty easy to automate with Shortcuts. Just make a new Automation that sets orientation lock on every time Zing opens (and another one that disables it when Zing closes). Ok now I type it out that sounds cumbersome, but it's pretty easy!
