sorry that wasn't it Lurker

 

I fiddled around with my iPad settings a lot when I first got it and that was ages ago. I don't even know what i did lol

 

the boards here aren't very sympathetic towards iPads I've found

I thought there was something wrong with my ipad - phew!!

Lurker, I have that issue too using Chrome, started a few weeks ago. I had not made any changes to settings, it just started one day.

 

you can get the cursor active again by making Chrome think it is a new page, by clicking on the three stripes top right, then clicking back in the text box where you want the cursor positioned. It is a pain, but Safari still does not give you the full text tools, so it has to be Chrome.

 

give that a go.

 

 

it works most of the time...

 

Thanks amber,  yay that worked!  You're right a big pain but at least a bit of a work around.  Would be much better if the boards just got into this century and realised lots of people are using mobile devices these days.  😞

 

Got any idea how to get the smilies to sit anywhere but at the start of the post?

love it

Yes I find that also. Very annoying. As Amber said it didn't used to do that. I will try what Amber suggested above.

Safari - ipad Do we have to hit the thread title twice once to supposedly open the hover bubble, (which doesn't happen) then 2nd time to open thread?

In Chrome (ipad) that is what happened, first hit opened the preview bubble and second had to hit the open bubble to open the thread.

Lurker: "Would be much better if the boards just got into this century and realised lots of people are using mobile devices these days."

Yes, some do, which is good. I posted on another forum the other day using Safari and I coukd use all the features same as if I was on a computer.

Took a year to get the hover feature back! Don't hold your breath for an ipad friendly board.

that happens to me if I choose one from the pop up. If I do one using the symbols, it stays put. 🙂
