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.

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.

I suspect that won't happen for a while. It would require replacing our current editor with something entirely different that is iPad compatible. Unfortunately, the iPad usage on the forums is very low so it isn't worth all of the work to do so.

Thanks ... Not the answer I hoped to hear, but that's life.

I am hoping to begin work on a "forum v2" sometime next year. I was planning on looking into a different editor at that time. I'll be sure to look into one that has iPad support, but no promises.
