An old thread, but I had serious problems trying to post from an iPad on the forum, with a tendency for the screen to flash and become unstable.

This was resolved in part by using Phil's App, although this has the disadvantage of not having an edit facility. Also, any attempt to link to the 'Wed thred' took you back to the unstable browser.

We just updated the iPad to OS 5 and this seems to have cured the problem completely. However, OS 5 gets rid of the elegant 9 preview windows, and introduces page tags just like an iMac. Unfortunately the tag browsing doesn't come anywhere near the functionality it has on an iMac and you have to wait for page refreshes which the thumbnail previews of the previous OS and browser avoided. Apparently Apple now do their upgrades in such a way that you can't go back to a previous version or run two in parallel.

(Music wise, the iPad works beautifully on the BS 8 I'm trying out.)

Razlaw:

There is another thread entitled Unable To Post From An iPhone. I would post a link but am using my iPad and I I have nit mastered posting links on it.

I don't doubt it Razlaw, but it would be uncannily similar to Elephant's post that I linked to previously. The link should take the OP to the right answer.

I'm assuming razlaw is referring to my post (hijacking Elephant's thread) from a few weeks ago regarding problems posting from my iPhone. If you read the advice about changing the posting text settings from Jeff, you'll see what you need to do!

This post is being made on an iPad. There are some problems. In order for me to post, I must click on HTML at the end of the toolbar above the box to post in. Then, in the window that opens I must tap several times before it will allow me to post. There was another thread here a few weeks ago where others experienced similar problems. There was mention in there of a setting that can be changed that will allow posting in the normal way. If you search for iPad and and my name, Razlaw, that thread should appear.

Has anyone had an issue trying to write posts on an iPad, where the text box is initially editable - but by the time all the toolbar is loaded on the textbox it isn't editable anymore .

I assume the same behaviour on an iPhone but haven't tested it out ..

Anyone seen the same ?
