As above, don't know why (probably cause its shite) but Ipad doesn't like this forum.
Doesn't scroll shoutbox and if theres a video or picture in shoutbox it covers the rest of the topics.
Unable to post as for some reason doesn't detect the topic box and doesn't bring up the keyboard.

Just warning people if there thinking of buying one!
So be warned!

iPhone has some similar issues, mainly with the shoutbox not scrolling and videos appearing half way down the page and above the rest of the forum. That's about it though, no others that I'm aware of...

Look... just because you have an iPad/phone...

Don't expect the rest of the world to fall inline with your crippled Jobsian devices :P

Sorry Ben / Bill gates, Just that PC's and windows suck. Always had apples, part of you five a day!

Well spotted that man! Still wont post though, Fast reply causes it to exit safari and normal reply doesn't detect that its a text box and no prompt or keyboard appears.
Just gotta wait for the update in november i guess.
Other than that its a great device, free satnav works a treat and maps etc..
Didn't get the 3g one just set up a private network and use the iphones 3g! then only one bill a month.Posted Image

I pad updated and still doesn't work on this forum, i can shoutbox, status update, search forum but not post.
quick reply just crashes safari and normal reply doesn't show as a text box but i can put smiley's etc..

Come on show your computer type abilities and sort this out as this is the only forum website that doesn't appear to work.
All other forums i belong to i.e jukebox forums arcade machine forums all work fine!

Look i have had to fire the macbook up to post this, normally just surf on the ipad but when i want to post i then have to fire up the mac.

you've gotta embrace the future at some point!

My iphone views it as mobile page all stripped down no pictures.
This appears to be the only problem site i have come across so far.
Otherwise its a good device for me as i travel a lot can load films etc.. for flying, basically a giant ipod.

At the very bottom of the main forum page there's a 'theme' dropdown box. Select 'IP.Board' rather than 'IP.Board Mobile'.

Yeah, that's what I have too, but it's still a pain in the arse when you're browsing around and suddenly it goes back to the poxy mobile theme.

What doesn't work exactly?

Everything? Or just Shoutbox?
