I guessed it had something to do with the lack of flash in iOS, but using Chrome with "use desktop version" option chosen actually works - quoting and all. It does sometimes get confused with the auto-correct feature on the iPad, but it's a start :smileyhappy:

Re: iPad has no functionality in this forum

Using Chrome allows quoting but you can't postictures due to Flash. I'm a iPad user and don't like Chrome. It's slow and buggy on the iPad. I don't see this as a valid solution I'm not going to use Chrome for just one web site. My solution is to just not use the site. It's really to bad. I hope they get these issues fixed soon.

I agree, it's not a solution. Chrome doesn't work as well as Safari for me on the iPad, but for now I've resorted to using it for HC. The second I get word that the full rich text stuff is working with Safari, I'll be a happy boy, though. :smileyhappy:

Well, use a good device such as a Nexus 7.

Problem comes from iOS, not HC.

Re: iPad has no functionality in this forum

This isn't about which device is best it's about supporting one of the most popular mobile devices. I use my iPad for work not just playing on the Internet. The iPad is the device that works best for me and I would like the forum to be fully functional from my device just like many other iPad users here.

Any online software that requires the use of flash is a dinosaur these days.

Re: iPad has no functionality in this forum

Yes, and obvoiusly that isn't the issue, since it works with Chrome. I guess it has something to do with the way the site software mates with iOS Safari, when it detects a tablet being used. I'd expect it will be fixed eventually, with how soon depending on how high on the "to do" list it is atm :smileyhappy:

Quoting works with Chrome but you can't post pictures or video because those functions require Flash.

You can't do any kind of advanced file upload without Flash.

IOS should be supporting Flash. If you think one company should decide what technology should be used over the Internet, you're a morron :smileywink:

The lack of iPad functionality is just ridiculous. I do believe that Lithium is trying to improve this site, but the fact that things that seem so basic aren't right is not confidence inspiring.
