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

I'm thinking it may be the same issue reported earlier:
_ime (13.3/iPhone8), threads that are polls do not show poll results when you select them through search

Yeah, that's right. Tricky to fix, that -- I'll see if I can come up with something.

The workaround is to bookmark a post from the poll thread and then open it from the bookmark if that helps

Yeah that works, thanks!

stet can we get a q button to go with b, i, u in the edit window?

(Who uses u?)

It really is becoming vestigial isn’t it? (Everywhere, not just here) I think possibility of confusion with links must have done for it. Fine. Farewell, underline

Adios, muchacho

Is this the thread for thread-specific technical issues? Rolling Classical 2020 can’t be loaded in Zing, saying:

There are some old or corrupted messages in this thread which zing can’t read

Should be fixed, thanks!

thanks for the "𝐐" stet! used it today!

fuck, do we have to deprogram caek now?

Because the Zing icon looked a bit like a MAGA cap, I’ve taken to calling it Hat FM in tribute to the UK Office.

It’s better than a MAGA hat, it’s a hipster fucker trucker hat.

Hi, can’t find it anywhere, but I’m having triuble with Zing— none of my bookmarks are working, tho I’m logged in and so forth. It appears to be attempting to load them but then I get the ! inside a triangle symbol. Any help appreciated!

I had that. Logging out of Zing and in again helped, though it still doesn’t seem to be syncing bookmarks between Zing and web as reliably as it was.

ah okay. tried that once to no avail but will try again. merci!

same thing. i even uninstalled and re-installed :/

Ugh, sorry! is this still happening? I'll take a look

stet, it resolved itself on its own, without any signing out or uninstalling etc. works fine now! not sure what the issue was. thank you, tho!

has zing been delisted from the apple app store? just tried to install zing ON (new) IPHONE and can’t seem to find it anymore

Oh that’s strange, not showing for me either.

same here. funnily enough I had a problem with the app some time last month and removed it. it was still in the store then or I wouldn’t be here now (perish the thought)

Sorry about that – I need to pay Apple yearly to stay on the store, and they had an expired credit card on file. Should be back shortly!

thanks stet!

Not exactly urgent, but I am finding that the latest version of this app crashes when I am reading a message and tilt it to landscape. I’m on iOS 16.3.1.

It’s been like that for years, for me.

Any chance the dark mode could be tied to the system setting? The number of phones without that feature must be pretty small now.

Love this app and have a feature request:
In-app toggle to lock orientation - I don't think I'll ever use landscape mode on my phone.

I've put it on the list, but while you wait this is pretty easy to automate with Shortcuts. Just make a new Automation that sets orientation lock on every time Zing opens (and another one that disables it when Zing closes). Ok now I type it out that sounds cumbersome, but it's pretty easy!
