Zing Touch: ILX now ON IPHONE (and ipod tooches too)

oic on main menu, not in thread

Oh, well, while this thread's been bumped, I've been meaning to note to stet that I get crashes nearly every time I vote in a poll or delete a bookmark. On a 3G, if that helps.

how are you voting in polls

the most recent version allows you too! Top of a poll is like "20 poll options", click through that, then select an option and there's a "vote" button. Then Zing crashes :(

how do i get most recent version? Won't it appear in Updates in app store?

well this most recent update was, like, quite awhile ago?

a search function would be quite nice :-)

i mean, like a "find on page" function

freaky -- I sent the new version to Apple last night. Includes multitasking and a ton of bug fixes, including for the poll crash (in the meantime Clay you can probably fix that by deleting and reinstalling).

Other things:
- Delete button: yeh, will add a warning to that
- Close button: that needs to be there for UI guideline reasons, sry.
- Search in page: Yeah, I really want this too, it's next.

hey stet zing is great but it can be pretty crashy - usually after i update a bookmark (or post) and go back to the browsing screen

that doesn't sound right. can you email me your crash logs and I'll take a look?

no stability issues here - I'd have comments on the Mac app and on how much I'd like to see an iPad app, but the iphone version works great for me

mine is a bit crashy (on xposts, sometimes on opening threads) but totally liveable-with, i still love using it.

it never crashes for me. still would LOVE to be able to select which boards show threads in site new answers.

Dudes I still can't figure out how to do polls. Is it only on Zing Touch and not on Zing Lite?

sunny, i think you can do that? i appear to have done that, anyway - i think by swiping right on the boards you don't want, on the opening-screen list of boards, you can delete them from your sna as well as from the list of boards that show on the opening screen?

(i would test this but i don't know how to bring a board back once deleted)

I can't swipe right OR left on any screen!

do you have an edit button?

Stevie, if you swipe left (OR right, IME) on the bookmark, a red button that says "DELETE" should appear.

sunny, i think you can do that? i appear to have done that, anyway - i think by swiping right on the boards you don't want, on the opening-screen list of boards, you can delete them from your sna as well as from the list of boards that show on the opening screen?

WOAH ill try this. thanks!

and if you hit 'login' on the settings page it resets to all-the-boards

as i just discovered

Where's the edit button? I have a gear in the lower right corner. Oh yes I can swipe on the bookmark but I don't want to delete any of them.

I just want to view polls. Maybe vote too.

edit button is top right for me (but it won't help w anything but deleting boards/bookmarks you don't want).

stevie, when you go to a poll thread, does nothing happen when you tap the top post that says 'x poll options'? do other posts open when you tap them (like e.g. posts w images in)?

When I tap the OP it just lists the OP w/ no poll options. Images come up and all though when they're there

this is how it works for me:
click the thread with the poll.
the first "message" should say something like "3 poll options". click it.
the next screen will list the poll options. click the one you want to select.

click = touch obv

oh sorry c sharp. beat me to it.

huh. maybe it is a touch-v-lite thing?

sweet damn, c sharp. i was able to get rid of those boards. not an i love music post in sight. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I tried what you said to do, sunny, and the options do not show up for me. I always figured that polls were not part of Zing Touch.

oh I never see x poll options or anything. I am running 1.0 Lite btw

fuck i want DUMPLINGS!

also wtf why did DUMPLINGS! just capitalize itself

just buy the full version dudes

oh no i have further contributed to the depopulation of ilm!!

looking upthread the same update that lets ppl take boards out of SNA (not just off the opening screen) is the update that allows ppl to view and vote in polls so if you can do one you should be able to do t'other? maybe lite never got that update?

I thought I bought the full version....maybe not. I do not know.

DUMPLINGS!

why did you write DUMPLINGS!, Stevie D? DUMPLINGS! automatically becomes upper case and !

i wonder what this does DUMPLINGS!!

because your username is d u m p l i n g s and I got a mad craving

1.0 didn't have poll support -- you need to update! I think both lite and full should have polls now; they definitely do in the next release.

Is this the thread where we talk about the Bai Ling eats fetuses classic DUMPLINGS!?

yes

that doesn't sound right. can you email me your crash logs and I'll take a look?

how do i shot logs

def. dont have polls in lite and updating doesn't add them

hey stet zing is awesome

it crashes for me on occasion but no more than any other great app. obv, being able to start threads and use a search function would be great, but jumping over to safari for that isn't too hard.

my number one request/ complaint however is this:

-if you have a thread bookmarked on a message that is more than 100 posts from the end of the thread, zing will only take you to the last 100 posts, and not to your bookmarked post.

obv not a problem that comes up too much, but it would be nice to have fixed in an update.

New feature: improved clusterfuck thread management

Not really complaining, but one minor glitch: occasionally when I touch a thread, it just instantly closes down and I'm back on the iPhone home screen. As crashes go, it's not that inconvenient or frustrating (like a freeze-up or time-out would be).

i get that a lot

That's actually quite a hard one, Grady. Will have a think.

Crashes: If you sync with iTunes, you'll find crash logs in these folders:
Mac OS X : ~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/MobileDevice/<DEVICE_NAME>
Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\<USERNAME>\Application Data\Apple computer\Logs\CrashReporter/<DEVICE_NAME>
Windows Vista: C:\Users\<USERNAME>\AppData\Roaming\Apple computer\Logs\CrashReporter/MobileDevice/<DEVICE_NAME>

Look in that folder, find the ones with "Zing" in the title, and fire 'em off to stet @ ilxor and i'll take a look. Lots of them likely to be fixed in the latest update, though.

I'm...wondering...was there a problem with using a normal browser via the iphone or similar device? I never had a smart phone before now but this droid thing seems to do okay with ILX although it doesn't remember where I left off a long thread and return me to my exit point. But other than that, it seems v functional.
