Zing problems

Nice update! :)

It looks like attempting to vote in a poll makes the app crash, fyi. Could just be my phone but that's the first time I've had the app turf out and it did each time I tried.

Sometimes I type something and then highlight it (to apply italics or a link), and all the text disappears?

^ what Old Lunch said. This prevented Eric Clapton from getting any votes in that recent dumb guitar poll

Can also confirm app crashes upon clicking a poll option. Thx!

Ditto on poll voting = app crashing

Fix is coming, sorry voters

no need to rush if it means people are prevented for voting from eric clapton in the meantime tbh

foreign interference in our elections will not be tolerated

yes it will

Still having the bug where I type a bunch of stuff, then click into it to edit something, and it all disappears :(

(no doubt for the best, given the quality of my posts)

Yeah - the fix for that is with apple, will be in the 4.2 update as soon as they release it. Sorry!

Ah, thanks!

Having a new issue: if I type until I reach the bottom of the window, it doesn’t “scroll,” and I can no longer see what I’m typing (the text disappears beneath the keyboard).

Other than not be so long-winded, any fix for this? Thx!

Hate it when that happens, especially when I accidentally do the swipe & erase. Sometimes I can switch to landscape mode, although last time I tried that zing died.

This is me testing the fix for the scrolling issue:

3
4
5
6 ...
Yes, it works now! Sorry about that.

I’m ready for different color & typeface themes to become available as in-app purchases.

I’m also ready for being able to zoom in on images 😕

speaking of images, long press on an inline image then “save to images” results in immediate crash

Ah, found it. It crashes because I haven't asked for permission to access your photo library. Better do that, then.

getting the “old or corrupted messages in this thread, Zing can’t deal” message in the Kelela - Cut 4 Me thread

(ah, I see I posted about this a year ago as well)

should be fixed now, ta

nice one, thank you!

Add a link to the FAQ somewhere?

need one of those on the site too

I am not entirely on board with zing now intuiting how to format text between slashes or text between asterisks

My opinion is that displaying format according to bbcode is fine but automatically converting non-bbcode “formatting” is trying too hard

stet, the bookmarks are still a bit out of order... am i correct in thinking they should be ordered by date post was first created? I'm regularly getting a few shuffling in at the bottom from 2020. Not a problem by any means but wondering what that means in terms of the code.

example here... may have something to do with the phrase "2020" in the post?

so this is an ilx issue but it seems like youtube doesn't embed unless it's https... any reason not to alter to embed http links as well? I think this is a new thing.

This thread, when opened in Zing, generates a warning message that it contains corrupted messages: Bruce Springsteen - Classic or Dud ?

Thanks, sorted

Thanks!

Omgggggg the quote option! Thank you so much!

YVW. Worth saying that you can also get quotes by hitting the "reply" arrow on an individual message, which also includes the message text. I don't think that was obvious to people.

Yes. seconded.

This thread is suddenly popping up a “Problem reading messages” error msg: pitchfork is dumb (#34985859340293849494 in a series.)

Bumping the above – thx

Checking...
stet, full error msg for me is "There are some old or corrupted messages in this thread which Zing can't read."

please don’t fix it

Should be fixed, sorry!

Thanks!

Is there a known issue with Zing and bookmarking? I'm working my way through the Silicon Valley thread as I catch up on the show, and my slowly shifting bookmark works fine on a browser, returning to me chat about the episode I've just watched, but on Zing, it always takes me to the last 100 messages (starting Nov 4, 2019).

This has always been the Zing way. I have been living with it but you are right to complain.

Yes, this is long-standing – I've made it work right on MacZing, but it hasn't made it to Tooch yet.
