Forums not working right with iPad.

fjw70 · Dec 1, 2013

The reply to a thread page is kind of screwy on my ipad. The right 25-30% of each line goes out of the box and I can't see what I am writing. This isa new issue for me.

Sorry to hear that. What version of iPad? What version of iOS? Does it exist whether in portrait or landscape? Registered user/ supporter?

Some of that detail might help us work out we're the problem might lie.

Cheers

Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. I am using an ipad 4 and running iOS 7.0.4. I am still having these issues.

And it's the same in either portrait or landscape mode.

Yep, it's an issue and I find it frustrating, too. I haven't been able to figure out how to fix it yet!

Thanks.

Any progress on this issue? I use an iPad two with the latest updates installed. Would really like to be able to use my iPad more effectively with the forums.

Nope, no progress. Sorry! I'm at a loss.

FWIW, I'm running an iPad2 with all but the latest iOS update running- I can't remember my password for installation

- but I am not having that issue at all.

Interesting. I had the problem though a couple of updates. I wonder what the difference is?

Did a little research and I see that VB 5 connect supports mobile using Forum Runner apps. It is an option that can be added to VB 4x. It is free on the back end, but users would have to pay a couple bucks for the app, so not ideal.

I'd be willing to pay for the app on my android phone and iPad for testing if you are interested. Looks like it is built in to 5, so we'll be trying it out some day anyway.

I'm going to try some alternate browsers for the iPad like Dolphin and Chrome.

Will report here.
