You can now post on the forums using the iPad/iPhone/iPod Touch

Published on September 21, 2010 By GunslingerBara In Forum Issues

Just wanted to give you guys a quick update to let you know that you can now post on the forums using the iPad, iPhone, or iPod Touch in the Safari app.

Note that the editor is disabled, and you will only have access to a regular text box for inputting messages, so you will not be able to do any special formatting. However, HTML is enabled for that text box, so you can type it out manually if you'd like.

Truth be told, I was just on your case, it seems it's always a focus on the iOS these days, never the Android OS

But that said! I just tried using my HTC Desire running 2.2, and I couldn't actually get a keyboard to show up when quoting your post and trying to type in the Quick Reply box.

I personally have an Android device (the very first one actually, the G1) and have a hatred of all things Apple. But I also know that according to our statistics iOS is the most-used modern, mobile OS, so it makes sense to target them for bug fixes. I don't generally use my Android phone to browse the forums, but I'll start doing so to see what problems exist and to resolve them

It seems this may not actually be working, at least from Wincustomize.

Nice, but hows about a Joeuseser or Stardock app just for forums. That would be interesting.

Note: If you are still having problems posting, please do a couple of refreshes or wait a short while. I don't think a "hard refresh" exists for the Safari app so we are in Apple's mercy as to when the Javascript will get refreshed.

Neil's problem was resolved simply by waiting.

Hey, Bara. Do you have any idea when the quote, smilies, bold, etc. options will be enabled/compatible with Safari, Atomic browser or Terra? I use my iPad at work and when I get a break I like to cruise...this being the first port. Hope Walnut1 didn't ruin your weekend, old bud. Posted from my iPad.
