Flagging is an ILX app for Android (in beta)

submitted a test reply here a moment ago but it never arrived

app is pretty slick otherwise tho

Same question about phone and version of Android for you my friend

I post?

Ah success

I'm having trouble reproducing the phantom post thing, although I've seen it myself. Details helpful as mentioned above. I'll keep fiddling with it.

@lukas i use galaxy s6, android is version 6.0.1

oh hey that was posted via the app

Kind of a small annoyance but if I scroll halfway down the list of threads, open one, read it and then hit the Back button on my phone to return to the list, I'm returned to the top of the list rather than the point where I left off. If that could be fixed then great, if not no biggie.

Is there a minimum Android version for this? Doesn't seem to work properly on my phone, for instance "I only have ILM and ILE saved but I'm seeing a bunch of threads from other boards under New Answers" - there's no obvious way to select which boards appear on New Answers, they're all there. I think I'm on 4.4.

same on Android 7.1.2 , I can select and deselect boards with individual sliders and it remembers my choices but there's no effect on the post list (oh hey, I'm on 77? I don't remember if I knew that)

and I can reply to some posts but not others.

The board issue will be a quick fix. Still hoping to find a way to reproduce the posting issue.

u r my hero

bookmarking a post in Flagging on my phone does not seem to carry over to the board on my PC

Some people report this with Zing too; this might not be Flagging-specific. If you can figure out lukas I'd love to know

Are there maybe different server/instance values I should use?

Fixed a silly problem with posting replies to threads, guessing this is the bug people are seeing. Also fixed seeing threads from disabled boards. Won't be able to push this update until tonight tho.

thankig u

Wish I had an android just to try it!

superb, thanks dude. instant ilx HOF

hey I am posting this from Flagging works great!

(terrible joke about disabled boards flagged automatically by app)

trying this now!

is there an easy way to quote posts or put in links?

There will be in Flagging Pro, the non-free version :-)

those are on the list, kinder

When I get fired for spending too much work time on this I'll have plenty of time to add new features

!!! stoked to try this out, thx so much

sent it out with fixes, might take an hour or two to show up. you'll know you have the latest if the Settings page shows Flagging 1.1

can i see a screenshot

Follow the Google Play link at the top of the thread for screenshots.

Still struggling to get bookmarks to sync between flagging and browser version

yeah, like stet said, that's a known issue for Zing as well as Flagging. I'm going to add some logging to the app and see if I can track it down.

Board issue seems fine now, thanks for fixing that. I raised another minor issue upthread about scrolling, would be great if you could have a look at that sometime (low priority obv)

personalised updates! A+

I'd love to try this out, but I'm on Android 4.1.5 and I can't install it.

I'm not doing anything fancy, should be able to update the app to support that.

am i missing something obvious? is there a way to see updated bookmarked threads?

that's what 'bookmarks' is

revive this when you finally 'get' bookmarks

lol the order looked different than the web versh on first glance. it's not.

Arch I just uploaded a version that should work for you, available in a couple hours probably.

Awesome! Will try it out later today.

Posting this from Flagging...

Cool, it works! But I don't see my reply after I post.

OK, this is a great app. Works smoothly and does exactly what it needs to do. Excellent work, lukas!

I do have a few suggestions:

- Refresh the thread after posting a reply
- It would be nice if the grey area at the bottom of a thread had a textbox to reply immediately
- I'd love a separate bookmark button
- Swipe to the right to go back to the thread list

Some visual things, not neccessary but nice to have:

- Add a '.. months/years passed' separator between such posts
- Maybe add a poll icon in front of thread titles, instead of - poll behind it

The app is great, I especially like the way hidden images are treated. Definitely needs a better icon though, maybe even the standard ILX logo.

There is a standard ILX logo?

uh.jpg

I think he means the favicon, which is "ilx" in pink and yellow vag rounded.

No hurry!

Often I find that trying to post anything, in any thread, on my phone (Android) immediately crashes/freezes the app. I have to force quit and restart, and then it seems to work again.

Would it be possible to do something about YouTube embeds? Just a normal link would be fine.

I just submitted a release that should fix YouTube embeds, once it gets through Play Store review.

I'll probably bump this in a week to catch some of the people who have given up on YouTube embeds at this point.

Reminder for folks that missed it that Youtubes should work again

They do, but generally you have to click through to watch the vid or even see what it is, it looks like this

generally I do this just to see what the vid is, and yt makes you watch an ad before it even reveals the title. is there a way to pull the thumbnail for these videos? suspect not, but thought it worth asking.

thanks as always for all your hard work on this great app

Yeah I'd have to bounce the YT request off a server in a different country, unfortunately.

Pulled from the Play Store because of.a screenshot that has been in the app listing for six years. Will fix soon, don't think anyone with the app should be affected.

roger that

reading and replying in the app rn

the Madonna: classic or dud thread consistently crashes the app on my android 14

On desktop, the elapsed time between the most recent and previous posts in the Beth Gibbons thread reads "twenty years pass". On Flagging, it reads "twemty years pass".

xpost Weird, it was doing it for me, too!

"twemty years pass"

feature not a bug imo

What's going on with Flagging? I can't use it any more, because I've been getting "unable to log in" errors for the last three days. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but now I can't log in at all.

strange, it's working fine for me.

Hmm. Working for me. Can you try uninstalling and reinstalling?

for the last 3 days its been down for me too. getting a message saying a certification cant be confirmed.

working for me

For those having problems, what version of Android are you using?

just tried uninstalling then reinstalling version 1.28 on a 7.0 android and now at the edit account page when i try to log in after i type in email and password and go to SAVE i get

java.security.cert. CertPathValidatorException : Trust anchor for certification path not found

That's what I'm getting.

Can't reproduce it, so I'm sort of shooting in the dark, but there are a couple things I can try.

I have also been getting expired certification errors on ILX on Android Chrome for the past few days, also.

those of you having problems, what version of Android are you using?

open Settings, tap About Phone (near the bottom), tap Software Information

6.0.1

On a Samsung Galaxy J7 Sky Pro.

7.0
