iPad won't allow input to forums.

Hi guys,

Yes I am am a bit of techie and because of business and a love of anything that is not effected by trojan horses and bugs of a cyber nature Apple is my choice. So when I started using my iPad to go into the RSPB forums I was surprised that I could not write to anything. Oh, the text input box appears but no means to access and the keyboard does not pop up.

I have not experienced this problem with any other forum usage of in general use of web page information boxes.

Does anyone else have this problem?

Thanks,David

  • You can't on the iPhone either ...

    Do you use Bird Guides website. Their spotters map comes up, but you can't see what each "spot" is, as it works by rolling a mouse over it on the website. Of course, Apple won't support any adobe plug ins!
