Due to the WYSIWYG editor, it's not possible to use an iPad to reply to any forum content. The pages load fine and reading on the iPad works well, but the reply window with all its buttons and wysiwyg items won't allow input.

This topic has been closed for replies.

I know this sort of defeats the purpose of an iPad but there is a Keyboard availble for iPad Its not a full sized keyboard its small and compact. I forget whether it plugs in or runs off of Bluetooth.

That's somewhat irrelevant.

The onscreen keyboard won't even activate for the forum replies. Which means you can't type... with an external keyboard or without.

It probably does but I don't htink that's the point Phillip. If the reply area doesn't show up, there's no where to type whether it works or not.

It shows up.. but you can't put a cursor in it by tapping it like other input fields. Which means.. the iPad OS, or rather Safari on the iPad, assumes there's nowhere to type.. so.. no keyboard.

I don't have the iPad external keyboard, as you posted Philip, that defeats the entire purpose of the device. I have computers if I need a regular keyboard.
