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

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

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?

Yeah, this one's a pity. In iOS 2-4, it didn't calculate the heights of the multi-line text fields correctly, so I had to make it deeper than it should have been. They fixed that bug for iOS 5, which means Zing is now set too deep.

It's an easy fix, I'll push out a change soon.

Got the Lite one today. Thanks a lot!

Just sent new version to Apple. Not a huge amount of changes, but fixes some long-standing stupid bugs (including the compose window being too big), adds support for multiple sites/accounts, does a much faster job of bookmarking and checking bookmarks and some other stuff.

Have also whacked the price down to Tier 2, which I think is $2. This will probably be the last version that works on iOS 4-5, next (which am working on now) will require 6.

Roxor.

nice!

now why would anyone need support for more than one account?

; )

Awesome. BTW, is there a way to search?

Not yet -- it's actually p hard to do and one of the reasons this was taking so long. So I binned it for now but really want to make it work.

SCHWEET

I'm still running off the og free version tbh! but great work as always stet :) I should update, my sad old iPhone 3 is so slow with ios 5 tho

omg iphone 3

Oi, mine's still hanging in there!

Hi,

What should I run on the Palm Pre3?
