Now to try and rustle up a real 5 — you can’t even simulate one in the current Xcode

i'm on a 5c running OS 10
i should probably just get with the program and buy a fancy new phone. *ugh*

I have no complaints, I've bought Zing twice now, would buy again
― El Tomboto, Friday, 6 October 2017 00:59 (six years ago) link
the < button seems a little less sensitive in the new version but I blame Apple for that, stet remains supreme
― El Tomboto, Friday, 6 October 2017 01:00 (six years ago) link
^^co-sign on both
I too have the crash-upon-going-back-after-viewing-post for a while. Reinstalled, did not work. 4th gen. iPad on 10.3.3.I mostly use Zing on the iPhone (5S, no problems there) but would appreciate a fix if possible.

The back button thing is driving me nuts. The problem, I think, is that I put the full thread title in the titlebar. In iOS 6, the back button kept the "Back" label, so it was plenty big. In iOS7 that changed so that if there wasn't room it would shrink right down to just the "<". I wonder if it's got even smaller in iOS 11. I'll try a version with no title and see if that helps.

Always assumed it was a deliberate choice by stet to let I stand in for Q to keep the interface less crowded.

I’m biased, I use block quotes all the time and today I noticed there’s room for it
― El Tomboto, Sunday, 15 October 2017 19:52 (six years ago) link
I would IAP this feature fwiw (for $2 even!! Cause I’m rich)
― El Tomboto, Sunday, 15 October 2017 19:54 (six years ago) link
the q might not fit on an se

^ tell yr mom
then the IAP approach works great; the rich people without headphone jacks can buy in, the rest can just use italics (signaling their desperate hardscrabble existence)
― El Tomboto, Monday, 16 October 2017 15:16 (six years ago) link
The reply button automatically adds block quotes
― "The" Blink-182 (wins), Monday, 16 October 2017 15:29 (six years ago) link
yes and I would much prefer that it do italics instead

inability to back out of threads is saddest bug ever. donating monies.
― Larry Elleison (rogermexico.), Saturday, 21 October 2017 16:23 (six years ago) link
Yeah I've been wondering about that. Doesn't seem like a consistent bug.
― Ned Raggett, Saturday, 21 October 2017 16:32 (six years ago) link
The “back” button should totally be an IAP Stet just missing out on opportunities all over the place
― El Tomboto, Saturday, 21 October 2017 16:39 (six years ago) link
If you want quotes formatted in italics that’s a job for your style sheet. Quotes are quotes.

Is it the one where you have to click the little arrow on the left? Seems like the target area got smaller in the latest update...
― DJI, Saturday, 21 October 2017 22:52 (six years ago) link
Yeah I assume folks are just talking about the left caret being harder to hit
― El Tomboto, Saturday, 21 October 2017 23:07 (six years ago) link
it's worse than that. like Ned said, sometimes it works as expected and sometimes there's no choice but to close the app.
― Larry Elleison (rogermexico.), Sunday, 22 October 2017 02:07 (six years ago) link
I’ll show you it on my phone, Stet.

tbh a lot of my apps have been acting up since OS11 in similar ways - Kindle will freeze up and stop responding to swipes. Chrome, especially when FB is loaded on it, just randomly ignores taps on various buttons.

I would like to request that the "reply" button append the signature line from the poster being quoted to the quote

Would contribute to a crowdfunding bounty to get stet to spend time on this particular feature, even

Apologies if wrong place to post, but what do i need to do to access 77 on iphone (have been added by mod and all good on laptop)?have tried logging out and back in but no luck, am i looking for the board in the wrong place?
― lefal junglist platton (wtev), Sunday, 25 February 2018 20:52 (six years ago) link
hmmm, it should definitely be accessible on iphone if it works on your computer. i know you logged out and back in - maybe it would help to close the app/restart it?

Have you logged in and out on Zing too? If all else fails deleting and reinstalling should sort it
― stet, Sunday, 25 February 2018 23:59 (six years ago) link
Tried those suggestions but no joy.
― lefal junglist platton (wtev), Monday, 26 February 2018 17:01 (six years ago) link
How about an option to turn off board descriptions? So much wasted space with ha ha funny descriptions. I kind of like the bookmark previews tho.

Yeah, I’ve coded up settings for this. Coming next release
