iBBS 1.5 user guide


After recent hard work, iBBS 1.5 has been finally completed. I will briefly describe the major improvement and new gesture support.

Improvement:
(1)Increase the resolution of main BBS view by 1.5x, now user can see more beautiful and clearer text and ASCII-arts. However, you can also shrink the view to original resolution and make it fit the entire screen by zoom-in gesture.

(2)Solve bug of Chinese character input in iBBS 1.0. User can easily write article or chat in Chinese on BBS site by iBBS 1.5 now.

(3)add gesture support, which make user surf BBS site easier and more intuitively.

(4)add web view support, you can link to web page via BBS site.


new gesture:
(1)"Zoom in/out" gesture to adjust BBS view size, it is the same as you do in default iPod/iPhone photo viewer.

(2)"Tap double": (a) you can quickly tap item you want to surf two times, then cursor will easily move to the item.

For example:


(b) you can quickly tap URL you want to surf two times, then link to the web page.

For Example:




(3)"Swipe Up/Down/Right/Left" to do Page Up/Down/Right/Left
command.
note: Because iBBS 1.5 must recognize "Swipe" gesture
accurately, you must fix BBS view by touching bottom-left
corner of the screen while making "Swipe" gesture.

Please see the below picture.

(4)"Chinese character input": After you write Chinese
character you want to input, there has a button with
the character you write, then touch it to finish the character
input.

For example:


Now you can enjoy the fun of BBS site by iBBS 1.5, if you have any
question or suggestion, don't hesitate to contact me

Hello  大家好
iBBS終於上架了,我也是今天下午才知道,希望大家試用愉快!
我打算要更新兩個版本 1.5及2.0, 內容如下:
version 1.5
1. 加入頁面放大功能, 最多可至3倍
2. 將字體加大, 增加頁面可讀性
3. 背景改為黑色漸層色
4. 改善中文輸入法,字元亂跳出的問題
5. 在輸入介面加入上下左右鍵,方便控制輸入位置
6. 利用上/下滑動手勢來進行PageDown/PageUp

大概會在下禮拜釋出V1.5, 而v2.0會在收集完意見後,並在我能力範圍內
進行最後一次的改版,最後打算釋出Source code,讓強者們自行修改,歡迎
各位提供意見以利我的軟體更新
