I am relatively new to the iPad and only found your forum a couple of days ago.
What I really need now are instructions on the forum itself.
Sample questions;
How do you select a portion of a item to quote?
Some description of the use of the items at the bottom of the screen.
If you enter a reply, must you subscribe to it or is that only a help to find it again.
BTW in my scanning of the forum, it seems that there should be a picture somewhere to show the proper location of the iPad. The item I am referring to talked about controls in the upper right corner. In my use there are no controls there, my " home button" is on the right middle.
Also, although this may not be the proper forum. I use shortcut keys to enter my email addresses. That includes a space at the end of them and many locations respond "invalid address" unless I go back to remove the space. Is there a way to eliminate the space?
Thanks for any help!
Hi and welcome to the Forum!
Are you using the app or the site, as you speak about the bottom of the screen I would assume the app...please correct me if I'm wrong here.
To select a portion of a post to quote, go to the post you want to quote and you will see a blue arrow on the right, press this and you will see a quote tab press this and it will load that post. If you only want a portion of it, delete what you don't want. Make sure that the word Quote is left in at the top and bottom of this, write your post and then hit send. The quote should be in blue.
The headings at the bottom will take you to different threads, Current is all threads that are being discussed now. Search is obvious I hope. Pressing the Forums button will take you to different Forums, press the Discussions tab and this will take you to most of the Forums we have. If you do post in a thread you will be automatically subscribed to it. You can elect to unsubscribe if you wish. If you hit the Subscribed tab this will show all the threads you have subscribed to, you can just swipe on them to bring up the delete tab if you wish.
When speaking of the iPad and it's controls it is customary to be holding it in portrait mode. So your home button will be at the bottom in the middle.
To edit shortcut keys, you can just go back to your shortcut in settings and take out the space you have there.
I hope this helps you. Enjoy!
