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

I'm sure it has been mentioned before, but having a mechanism to move to the next post (and backward) without returning to the full thread of posts would help alleviate the issue. Especially for the image heavy threads.

yo stet I don't think it's an issue in zing but as I haven't hunted down the normal bug thread:

index.jsp isn't parsing content encoding the same way as other pages. the html sent to client is utf-8 as on other pages, but bookmarked threads with updates at the top show "?" instead of special characters -- the music notes in the "caek's corner" thread is a good example, as is a recent chicago thread.

closed as invalid - not a zing bug

j/k

:)

hey stet, as a clumsy iphone typer, would it be possible to add a "are you SURE?" confirmation that would show up after pressing the trash icon? i've lost countless enormous posts (possibly a net benefit to ILX, admittedly) since the trash button is a few millimeters away from the keyboard on my phone. i realize it's possible to shake the phone to undo, but every time i've tried i end up crashing zing.

That's fixed on Zing Touch but you'll have to fork out all of £2.29 to enjoy such a luxury.

i have zing touch, but for some reason it didn't show up in my available updates -- oh, just realized why. latest version requires iOS 8.0 or higher, and i'm still rolling on iOS 7.0.6. that's my punishment for sticking with my trust 4s, i guess (i don't update to the latest OS because it makes my slow phone even slower)

I run the latest iOS and Zing Touch on my 4s and it seems about as fast as ever ... it helps that I turn off a lot of iOS default settings whenever I update (Background App Refresh in particular)

Relative timestamps unless I tap through to individual posts? That's horrible.

is that a trump tweet?

Plus there is this weirdness with 1 year, 1 month, but then it reverts back to 1 year:

It just makes it hard to scroll through a thread and determine if a post is at the beginning of a specific year or at the end of it.

what stylesheet is that? Standard shows the full date

It's on Zing Touch, the app. there is no style sheet.

Oh, I meant the Display Styles in Settings; it looks like they just pertain to fonts and not any sort of content or data.

I'm on Zing Touch as well and it looks diff from yours

There's an update coming your way. I could make the timestamps a setting, I suppose.

mine's like jeff's (standard too) but I'm cool with it. it's actually better because now i see the name of a douche before accidentally reading what the douche has said

wait why are they all different??

The update is only a few hours old, check the App Store for updates.

ah so stevie's on the old one

oh no i don't want to update if it's goign to start giving me relative time like that

Just updated. I kinda like seeing the posters name first. Where is the buy stet a trucker hat IAP though :(

The poster name first is fine. Kind of annoying with the stupid long display names though, because it looks like part of the post.

poster name first is driving me insane.... maybe I'll get used to it though

Posters name first makes quotes require half a second more to parse imo.

Thank u 4 the update

Came around on display names first, darker text keeps it from being too distracting.

a bad xml character is breaking the sna feed

Indeed. Looks like it was fixed just now though, perhaps in response to your post.

It's back. Seems to be something on ILM.

Yeah ilm isn't loading.

It's the locust poll

ADMIN LOG WATCH 2

Hmmmmmm

It's the locust poll

having trouble setting a new bookmark / updating a bookmark's position -- am on zing touch. am I missing something awfully simple?

Is it giving you the error message when you try? If so, just kill it and reinstall from app store.

New version rolling out now. Tiny tweaks for iPhone, but it now supports iPad too. And multitasking, which is way more useful than I thought it'd be. Use it all the time myself.

appreciated.

ipad support for real? that's awsome!

Live in the UK now!

Oh, I think I finally fixed the stupid xposts bug too.

I like the new jump to Safari for the links. Currently having trouble loading site new answers and the ILM board though? It just hangs there. Rest of the boards/bookmarks working fine.

Me too

is that the goddam locust poll again?

Lol, was wondering

The polls the locust has eaten
