Getting back to the original post, this is a problem not just with the ipad but will all tablets. They all - apple, Android, etc, seem to have problems translating some traditional PC platforms. I was hoping the BB Playbook was going to change things with its flash support but having tried it it seems rather clunky as well.

Apple are not likely to come up with solutions to most of these issues as they want to drive all of their users through their Appstore channel. I have quite a few Apple products - Ipods and computers - but I must admit the company's efforts to lock everyone in to the Apple environment does grate a bit at times.

Does the App have a hidden Edit function? Also couldn't see a way of quoting from a previous post.

It doesn't, no.

Thanks Phil. Saves me searching for what isn't there. Guess you just have to be careful what you post or try editing later from another Mac/PC!

The App is a great interface nevertheless!

Just trying Daniels HTML approach in Safari

Jack Daniel's I assume?

That might improve things!

Something I realised last night with another post: using Phil's App I couldn't find the Edit option to correct a typo after I had posted an item. Does the App have a hidden Edit function? Also couldn't see a way of quoting from a previous post.

You must enter "HTML mode" in the reply window in Safari. In the message bar, close to the smiley icon you find "HTML", press that to enter a new window with keyboard. You need to tap the typing area to be able to start writing. When you finished writing press "UPDATE" at bottom left to get back to reply window where you click "POST".

There are several "main" screens. Swipe from right to left to go from one to another.

Thanks Phil & Elephant!

Sorted.

You always feel such an idiot when these things are so obvious after the event!

the Apps icon doesn't appear on the main screen

just drag the Beoworld App's icon from where you find it, down to the task bar thingy, and let go

now it will be at the bottom of every screen for instant access !

Great App Phil!

Works really well. The only problem I now have is that for some reason the Apps icon doesn't appear on the main screen and I have to search for it. No doubt this is just me not being familiar with the peculiarities of the iPad.
