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

Yeah, it had a weird character iirc. Zing is delicate.

The GOP presidential candidates thread has been doing that for me as well on Zing. Odd.

I really think you should stop reading the GOP presidential candidates thread then.

And Je%%se, you're not gay anymore.

yeah I've had that same issue with the GOP candidate thread and i think the "david foster wallace: classic or dud" thread as well.

Disco Inferno lyrics thread for me.

Are you opening these threads from bookmarks or a board?

Couple of minor iOS 5 issues, fix in works now btw

GOP Thread and the Bacon thread won't load for me.

I usually think of Zing being my guardian angel in both of these cases.

I just tried the gay thread from both the board and the bookmark and it didn't work either way.

I am still on iOS4, btw. Ran into a snag last night and put it off.

can you paste the permalink to your bookmarked post in here please je55e?

Throw on Your Best Cardigan and Celebrate Fall 2011 with the Gays of ILX

Here you go.

By the way, I thought at one time there was a thread that had the same sort of function as this one, but for ILX, not just Zing. It was a sort of wish list/discussion/place to report problems. I can't find it now. Was there ever such a thing?

I've been wanting to say there that it would be awesome if regular ILX was more like Zing Touch in some ways, including the formatting buttons and....I forget. There are other things. Oh! Yes, the quote button!

(maybe i already said those things in this thread?)

this one?

Ideas for ILX

Perhaps that was it. But since the recent outage, I feel bad asking for new features.

I don't. I want everything.

what is the instance supposed to be on zing? i have tried everything i can think of and i still can't get it to work :(

"ILX" cap-sensitive

For some reason, i've been able to post to either the sandbox or normal ILX. i get this error:

"could not post message for unknown reasons. (Sorry, btw)"

anyone else get this?

probably you're trying to post an animated gif > 500kb

*moans in agony*

it's not true!

"ILX" cap-sensitive
i tried this, but it gave me this

"Connected to the server but then...boom. Is the "instance" right?"

What am I doing wrong here?

Did you change server to http://www.ilxor.com ?

server http://beta.ilxor.com
instance ILX
check your username and password obv

got it! i didn't realize we were still on the beta.ilxor server, so i changed it back to the old one
fixed

i'm still having the problem i mentioned a few posts up (i can read posts, but i can't make my own, and my bookmarks don't work). the instance is set at ILX, the username and pw are the same as always, and i've tried both http://beta.ilxor.com and http://www.ilxor.com as the servers.

not sure if this helps, but i never had the problem until we switched to the sandbox and i adjusted my zing settings accordingly.

anyone have any ideas?

Kill your zing instance and restart?

Or just delete Zing and reinstall. Are you sure you don't have a trailing slash on the server? (eg com/ instead of com)

I think you're screwed. Start posting by USPS now.

ah, that was it! thanks, stet.

too bad i already started 5 new threads via USPS. the ILX HQ should receive the handwritten new content by COB Friday.

Did the instance name change?

My instance name is ILX and I'm posting from it now

My failure is tragic.

Did you fix it?

Ok, server was wrong. Was still going to beta.ilxor.com

beta seems to have gone down some time today

yo stet i have noticed lately that when clicking the safari logo in a post launches the WHOLE THREAD in safari, when iirc it used to load the permalink of the post you were coming from?

I haven't changed anything my end; I wonder if Safari has changed. You do have to be logged in on ILX in Safari before it'll work, though -- the auto-login strips the message. And it only works with pint Zing; Zing Lite just opens the thread.

hmmm ok i just tried again-- def login in to ILX on safari, and it just took me to the whole thread, not the permalink i was coming from. seems really intermittent, cant figure out why its working in some instances and not in others.

not really a big deal, just figured it was something you'd want to know that was happening.

Weird. I'll take a look and see if I can see what's up

def noticed it occurring in only the last 2 weeks or so

It is happening to me, too.

fyi this happens 100% of the time now.

still not that huge a deal, but something's def happened.

What are your server settings?

By the way, my server settings seem fine, but I still see the sandbox icons...

xpost:

http://www.ilxor.com

(i never changed for sandbox)

Just checked and it's not happening to me anymore. When I click the Safari link from a particular post on a long thread, Safari opens w/ that post on top and the rest hidden. (Long way of saying, it opens to the permalink to that post.)

Oh, but I'm on http://ilxor.com - no www

yep, chopping off the "www." seems to have done the trick-- thanks je55e

You're welcome! I can't believe I was part of a *solution* to a grown-up computer problem.

its a special time in a man's life when that happens.

remember this day, je55e, and never forget it.

When text takes up more space than fits in the post window, the cursor and text I'm typing disappears below the bottom of the box instead of the text scrolling up so I can see what I'm typing. Is this normal and does it happen for everyone? I thought didn't used to do that. I get around it hitting return a bunch of times and going back to what I was writing.

An odd thing happened today: a couple of times the text I was writing switched became invisible. I could see what I'd written before, but everything else after a certain point wouldn't show up, but it was definitely there b/c I could see it when I selected the text. I'm sure that's just a glitch in particular copy of the app on my phone, but I thought it was strange.

That cursor-disappearing thing happens to me, yeah.

yup the cursor thing is my only real ish with zing

been meaning to post abt this-- was gonna try and re-install before posting here but i guess it isnt just me

The disappearing text for me has mostly been an overzealous keyboard/toolbar area where the text is behind the toolbar. Maybe it's not calculating the cursor position re: the toolbar correctly?
