[QUOTE=athawk11] When using my iPad at the 2A Page, one word comes to mind. Inconsistent.
Since the most recent 9.1 update, it has gotten a little easier to post without the "time out" warning, or the "permission" warning, but I've also changed my habits. I write my post in iPad notes, copy it, quickly log in, then paste. 6 out of 10 times, it works without giving a warning and having to log out and trying again. Also, the default is in mobile view. I can't stand this view so I switch to classic view....but again, it's inconsistent. When navigating from page to page, it sometimes stays in classic view, other times it doesn't. So, I have to scroll down and put it back in classic. If it doesn't stay in classic, I'll clear the cookies and start all over. It will work for a few page jumps, then it starts converting back to the mobile view as I switch from page to page. I've said this before...I don't have problems like this on any other forum while using my iPad. This leads me to believe the current forum software is the problem. I don't know if it can be updated. It would probably be a monumental task to move the forum to a more modern software system. It may not be possible without losing all the history. This happened at the 3A Page, but we eventually recovered. I really enjoy the 2A page. I just wish it wasn't so freakin aggravating while using my iPad. X2, I was just cleaning out my pm box, after 50 deletes it goes to the red error message!, I have made no less than 50 attempts to post my condolences on SammyCJ2A's passing, just get the red error message, very agrivating!.

Lee, I agree the forum is pretty outdated. The site looks like about 2005. An upgrade to vbulletin would be pretty nice with an easier way to insert links, pictures, video, etc. Right now this site works but with the inconsistentcy it's frustrating and seems to start pushing people away from posting. The Facebook groups are taking off because it's so much easier.

Thanks, I know that!....... Not really wanting anything to change here, I like the CJ2A page just how it is, if it could be a wee bit more IPad friendly that would be a +. My inability to post sometimes may be a great relief to many here Lee |

After updating to 9.2, my 2A experience has gotten worse.

I hate that people seem to be having trouble with their Imachines but I agree with Lee in not wanting change....but that's just my nature.
Seems to be the biggest trouble everybody complains about is the posting of pictures here....it seems to be more of a learning curve problem than any real forum problem (except for the glitches every now and then) once the procedure for posting pictures is learned it's not a problem......(more file storage space in the file manager for pictures would be a plus though) I guess I would feel different if I was trying to do all this from my telephone....just now realized that's kind of a funny word these days isn't it? ...... seems it's almost lost it's 'tele'. |

Just to be clear, when you clean out your browser cache, you cleaning out the cache in Safari:
Settings> Safari> Clear History and Website Data? I've been posting from my tablet/phone since iPhone1 and iPad1. Remember iPhone1?....... Ugh! From time to time I get an error posting but not nearly as frequent as you guys seem to be. I haven't had any problems since IOS 9.X. When it happens, I've usually noticed that it has something to do with the network I'm on.... like I'll be connected to wifi and can't post so I turn my wifi off and then I'm able to post on 3G or LTE. I can't think of any time I was not able to post when I had full strength LTE since version 9. (As long as my website data was cleared out) Out of habit, I always do a select all> copy so that everything is saved to my clip board before I post. I will agree that on other forums, you don't even think about it. You just post and it works. Edit: IMO, the 2A page can't afford to loose past data due to an upgrade like the 3A page because We don't want to loose the information that Sean has provided.

I do this regularly too. It does help, but after a few page jumps, it all goes back to being its annoying self. I had a new one last night. I tried to post. Didn't work. (see previous discussions) Tried again. Didn't work. Third try...gave me a 'Red' warning screen that essentially blocked me because I exceeded my limit on too many post attempts in too short a time. Figured I was a "Spam Bot". Logged out...logged back in and was able to post.
This is by far my greatest fear. Tim

Question, is this a problem with all Apple devices or just Ipads and Iphones.

I have followed Jpets lead, and copy my post before posting it, if I get the red error thing, I close out, go back to the forum home, then back to the thread, paste it, and it seems to work every time.
