Why Can I Not Post from an iPad

Question

0

Sign in to vote
I have tried to post a message from my iPad. I see the Title field, the "Alert Me" check box and "Submit" button but not the "Body" edit box (only the title). This has been like this for months so certainly other people must have experienced the same. Is Microsoft purposely blocking people from posting from competitive devices like an iPad?

Unfortunately there is no official support for posting from mobile devices. You could vote up some of these.

or add your own suggestion here.

Just use a supported browser (Chrome) - not the Safari.

By the way... why no one wrote a forums app for iPad yet? There is at least one good Stack Exchange app.

Even not a Windows "modern" app... Interesting.

Hi hfaun,

According to your description, it seems that the issue is related to Forums Issues (not product support) forums, I'll move the post to Forums Issues for better support.

Thank you for your understanding.

Best regards,

Cole Wu
