when I try to type if I backspace the message will freeze and then I must go to preview message to get it to unlock ... Also sometimes if I backspace the font type will change to very small. Don't remember this being a problem before the site was upgraded ... Just curious. Cynthia trying to type on an iPad way too late at night. |

It's 4am...I hope I make sense! Yes, the dreaded iPad/CSN experience. What I do when that happens is to "disable-rich text" at the bottom of the textbox we write it. That brings you to the HTML code view. From there you can type away w/o it freezing BUT you must stay between the tags in the < bracket. It can be a bit of a pain but I know how to code so it's not that bad.
Just wondering, do you use a stylus? I found a site online that sometimes has ones like I've seen in stores for $10-$20 for $2-$3 with free shipping. The site is Meritline.com and they have Daily Deals, once a week or so you can find them on sale. I buy them by the dozen and hand them out to the nurses and also random people I see with iPads. We have some @work that has our logo and a retractable pen! We're cool there...

Good Grief! Nine stylus for $2.99

Thank you to another night owl
I am going to try several of the tricks here and I am definately going to order some of the stylus. I got my 93 year old mother an iPhone but she has arthritis which makes the touch screen problematic. I send her stylus (es?) all the time because she misplaces them :) Nine stylus for $2.99 is a great idea! -- Cynthia

I usually only have problems
I usually only have problems when I am trying to start a post and have already spent 10 minutes typing! What I have found is that it doesn't freeze up on me if I start a new post with just one or two words...post it...and then go right back and edit my post.

Yes
Have to hide keyboard then go back to where I want to change an auto-correct (instead of hitting preview which I think takes longer). Plus it doesn't give you a capital letter at the beginning of new paragraphs.
before the change over to new format, it worked great. Oh well.

Hiding the Keyboard Works
I agree with you about hiding the keyboard. Before I figured it out, I would get frustrated and give up trying to post from the iPad.
