Thanks to all of you. All it takes is your time,.........and I have lots of that. I've been on the hunt for contests worth entering lately.

I enter stuff like that whenever I get the chance and I have won some amazing stuff.  It does take some patience though.

I agree, I still haven't used any of it. I'm thinking of saving all of it for a "After October 12Th" (secret code for Bulldozer) build. I don't have any idea where I'm gonna get the money though,...Smile.

My iPad is amazing, I rarely put it down. One of the reasons I don't post here much is because I can't when I'm using my ipad, The comment/post box comes up but I cannot type in it.

Same here for me using my iPad. it only happens here at HH too. It's frustrating to want to use it to comment and it doesn't work. I had commented on this before in another post, and Dave said that they're gonna fix it for us. So hold out for a little longer and it will begin to work.

Hi Folks,

This issue is not specific to HH and is due to the fact that mobile Safari does not provide support for rich editing (which our forum defaults to).

One workaround that is available for users is to go to edit profile/site options and change content editor to "plain text". Once this is done, it will be possible to create forum posts on IOS devices. This will affect all browsers you use on the site though.

Hope this helps.

Dave

Thanks Dave!,

I've just been using the "Edit HTML Source" option, I figured out yesterday that it works to post through my iPad :)
