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

El Tomboto, Monday, 16 October 2017 15:40 (six years ago) link

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.

You have misconstrued my User Story. Back to the Scrumgeons with you

El Tomboto, Saturday, 21 October 2017 17:40 (six years ago) link

I can’t reproduce the back bug, argh

stet, Saturday, 21 October 2017 20:48 (six years ago) link

neither can i fwiw (iphone 8+, ios 11.0.3)

rove mcmanus island (Autumn Almanac), Saturday, 21 October 2017 21:39 (six years ago) link

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.

Madchen, Monday, 23 October 2017 05:03 (six years ago) link

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.

Stoop Crone (Trayce), Monday, 23 October 2017 08:10 (six years ago) link

three weeks pass...

A way to unsubscribe from threads would be great!

Thanks AA

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

direct to consumer online mattress brand (silby), Saturday, 24 February 2018 01:16 (six years ago) link

It used to do that! But somebody moaned and I took it out

stet, Saturday, 24 February 2018 10:04 (six years ago) link

Boooooo them

direct to consumer online mattress brand (silby), Saturday, 24 February 2018 14:10 (six years ago) link

Yeah, always wondered where that went.

Jeff, Saturday, 24 February 2018 14:20 (six years ago) link

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

two months pass...

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.

Jeff, Wednesday, 9 May 2018 23:52 (five years ago) link

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

stet, Wednesday, 9 May 2018 23:54 (five years ago) link

this looks really g— nah, kidding.

karl wallogina (Autumn Almanac), Thursday, 10 May 2018 00:14 (five years ago) link

ALSO: Blue Zing is now retired (sorry people on devices that can't run iOS 9 or better). AND: Red Zing is now FREE.

stet, Thursday, 10 May 2018 10:00 (five years ago) link

soon to be renamed “Red Zing Classic”, will contain ads for “Red Zing 2” with 3d touch and one (1) additional font, only £7.99

This is lovely. Serif dark mode is a treat. Cheers.

I'm Finn thanks, don't mention it (fionnland), Thursday, 10 May 2018 12:03 (five years ago) link

Zing needs a feature analogous to the hollow dots to identify threads with new posts.

American Fear of Pranksterism (Ed), Thursday, 10 May 2018 12:17 (five years ago) link

Otherwise I’m impressed. I haven’t used it in a long time and it seems much improved

American Fear of Pranksterism (Ed), Thursday, 10 May 2018 12:18 (five years ago) link

yeah it's rock solid now when opening a thread, no funny little jumping around, just goes straight to last read post. a+

illegal economic migration (Tracer Hand), Thursday, 10 May 2018 13:31 (five years ago) link

Looks great. Still has the bug where if you rotate your phone to landscape mode it jumps back a bunch of posts when you go back to portrait.

DJI, Thursday, 10 May 2018 14:45 (five years ago) link

Nice update. Thanks! A few comments:

In dark mode, the color of URL text is dark blue and literally impossible to read on the grey background.

I use dynamic font on an iPhone 6s and it would be cool if that applied to posts when selected - which I often do to see attachments and/ or the text formatting. Or some option to increased font for posts.

beard papa, Thursday, 10 May 2018 14:46 (five years ago) link

still doesn't sync bookmarks with my account :(((((((

gbx, Thursday, 10 May 2018 14:47 (five years ago) link

I wish I could figure that out. There’s no actual sync involved — everything just gets the list of bookmarks from the server. Somehow it is keeping two separate copies for you. There must be something in your browser thats funky.

stet, Thursday, 10 May 2018 19:52 (five years ago) link

Any chance for notifications for updated bookmarked threads?

licorice oratorio (baaderonixx), Thursday, 10 May 2018 20:36 (five years ago) link

noooo don't

valorous wokelord (silby), Thursday, 10 May 2018 21:02 (five years ago) link

Bookmark preview isn’t so great when you’re intentionally not reading a thread for a TV show because you haven’t seen the ep yet.

Jeff, Thursday, 10 May 2018 21:08 (five years ago) link

yeah same with sports. sorry, hate to complain! not into it, just more to scroll through too
