It shouldn't be happening – there's a weird situation in the code where it can keep two copies of a user around. You end up with two different sets of bookmarks and sometimes two DNs etc. I've never been able to really track the cause of it down, it's (probably) not your fault tho

two months pass...

I’ve just got my first iPhone and the Bookmark Post links JavaScript does not work and instead go to a form to submit instead. Is that expected?

download Zing Touch from the app store!

Can’t view it in my theme though :D

Speaking of which I am seeing a load of rendering bugs on the iPhone I need to fix.

Is that expected?
Yes there's some unreliability with iOS Safari that means it falls back to the non-JS version. Although that was (jesus) 10 years ago now so I should check that's still the case

Feel free to send me updates to the stylesheet!

One day! Been meaning to do it for a couple of years for general bugs.

Any idea on the bookmark bug though?

not a bug - deliberate behaviour: there's a non-Javascript flow, which mobile devices use because they were buggy back in the day. You can see it on desktop if you disable JS in site settings

It’s always worked on Android browsers though 🤷

Yeah, I have a vague recollection of just stopping it doing the Javascript thing on mobile at all; however, that would've been just after the first iPhone launched, so when you say it's always worked on Android, well, it's kind of always not worked on Android, as when I wrote that bit of code, Android didn't exist, so it seems whatever mechanism I used to filter it out didn't work once Android appeared.

FWIW, I was definitely using Android to read ilx every day for like two years before Android officially existed and it worked fine so thanks!

I’m happy to take a look and suggest code to get the experience on iPhone up to par :)

Chewshabadoo, Friday, 20 October 2023 07:21 (six months ago) link

We need an “ILX is better in the app” popup apparently they’re all the rage

Ah yes, sorry, I had forgotten about the shareholder value :)
