Cant input text from ipad?

I cant seem to type any text when using an ipad ?

I have tried it on 2 ipads but the keyboard doesn't come up?

I've never had that problem on mine, though I do find it generally harder to post on the ipad vis a vis formatting.

Works ok on mine, are you using safari as your browser?

This probably shouldn't be in the classifieds anyway.

Ok...so I didn't know where else to post it ? So I am now typing on iPad using Safari, but doesn't work when using Google Chrome, must be a browser thing..

Yeah must be a chrome thing. It is worth mentioning in the:

Home / Chat / Meta / Feedback thread

To see if anyone has raised it.

That'd be the best place to raise it.  I've moved it to Meta in the interim ...

And here ... I just installed Chrome on my iPad (Air, iOS7) and the on-screen keyboard fails to appear when I click in the comment box.

One for the dev team.

In the meantime, you're ok using Safari

having the same problem with Chrome ( and Firefox) on my Xperia tablet thingy. No problems with other websites on the tablet, no problems with theFB on Firefox at work but can't leave a comment using my tablet.

I can't insert pics from Ipad.

The pic icon Is greyed out and when you click on it it does nothing.

Is there a way round this?

I cant type anything at all from my nexus 7

(yes I know its not an iPad but this was the closest thread to a tablet issues thread etc)

Me neither

I can't do anything with my Asus Memopad.

Same with my (oh so shitty) Surface but you can click on the <> symbol to change the format, then it works but you will have to add basic commands like <br> for line breaks.

Could anyone having problems explain exactly what the behaviour is when it doesn't work. 

Could you also clarify if it works when you disable the WYSIWYG editor (using the <> button)

On the Asus Memopad right now and I'm on this thread. Go down to the bottom of the page, click on the text box, and absolutely diddly squat happens. It won't let me enter text in there. 

I've also just tried to go to my post a little further up this page and edit it on the Memopad. No can do. It won't let me enter text. The keyboard comes up on the Memopad screen then disappears in a flash.

@d8m, I don't use the "pic icon" at all, just paste the URL / web address of the pic straight onto the page, it cuts another (unreliable) step out of the process.  That is what I do on my mac, I don't know if that will work from a tablet of mobile though, but worth a try maybe ?  You will probably need to refresh your browser though to see the pic.  Hope that helps

Have you tried it on the html mode?
