Logos Forums on the iPad

Does anyone have any issues with replying to posts in the forum on their iPad?

I have found that it works perfectly sometimes, and yet at others when I have hit reply, it wont let me bring the keyboard up in the body of the reply message in order to type anything.

Curious if anyone else has experienced the same?

Hi Aaron

I don't have an iPad but I have seen discussions where people seem to be having similar problems.

Please see http://community.logos.com/forums/p/23438/174656.aspx and http://community.logos.com/forums/p/21066/157891.aspx for some examples

Thanks for the links. I'll have to give the html button a try.

yes, Aaron, this has been going on now for 2-3 weeks now. There have been many times that I can not post for more than 10 hours... and I just quit. other times it is just slow... right now, it seems to be fine.

Hi Kelly,

still a no go for me. I now review the forum on the iPad, and then try to recall which threads I'd like to comment on and do so on the Mac when I go home.
Hopefully it will change in future updates

I agree Aaron, this is getting a bit old!

I could not post to the Forums from my iPad today.

I'm having the same trouble still as well. At first I thought it was just my fat fingers... Is this something that can be fixed?

Ok posting now from the HTML editor; I guess this is better than nothing. The only trouble is that it opens a new webpage on the iPad. I guess there are reasons for this too?

I am using an app called forums to read the forums and post on on the iPad. It is free and seems to work well.

I got this app, but I guess I am app challenged as I cant find a way to search for the logos forums... any hints? thank you,

It has been a while since I did this, but there is a plus sign in the upper right corner. Tap that and add Logos Bible Software to the name and http://community.logos.com/forums/TopicsActive.aspx?ForumID= to the URL and tap save. I can't remember if there were steps before that or not. Hope this helps. The program may have added the URL automatically. Once I do something instinctively, I soon forget what I did! :-)

thank you Very much Jerry, I now have found that I had a different app, so now I need to get this one... I understand that you have it working, but I also see that many are saying that the app crashes a lot... do you find this to be true?

Must admit, I've never really thought the few extra "steps" needed to post to the forums with Safari on an iPad so intrusive to warrant spending money on a dedicated forum reader. Ok, so I'm a hard up, money pinching, soon to be student again without two brass farthings to rub together but is the HTML route really that onerous?

I think I'd find an app to view forums more of a chore, as then I can't simply browse the web, like I can if running Safari. I'd have to come our of one app and into another. I did try TapTalk (?) on some other forums but dumped it and find Safari so much easier, though I do get a bit fed up with the number of websites now popping up windows telling me they have TapTalk enabled and wouldn't it be better for me to use it. No! Let me just casual surf

and yes, this was posted (and edited) on my iPad.

The only thing I see as a complication with using the HTML editor in Safari on my iPad is the absence of emoticons support.

Only the flashy ones. You can still use the good old ASCII ones :-)

You are right :-O

How do you put in line breaks when using the "HTML" option?

I find that multiple lines are stringed together when returning from the HTML window, unless I manually put in for line breaks (and is a pain to type on an iPad). Is there an easier way?

Thanks,

Peter

There isn't an easier way. You're in an HTML editor and that needs the codes to format.

I know what you mean about typing the BR code though, or /P. It is a bit of a chore on an iPad, as one needs to flip between the .?123 key and the #+= key.

Found a slightly easier way:

Use the <pre> tag, and it will preserve the line breaks.

But you have to be careful with the < and > symbols.

Hope this helps.

Trouble with that is although line breaks are preserved (as are spaces), all text in a pre element is displayed in a fixed-width font (usually Courier), and so it looks rubbish.

Think I'll stick with typing the .

Bottom line is, I heard that iOS 5 will make Safari compatible with the rich text editor being used for the forums, so I'm looking forward to that. Hope it won't be too much longer.

That will be nice.
