Posting limitations with IPad

[hank]

I've been working on printing with our IPads thru our AirPort Express USB printer hookup to a Dell 962. I bought the App. Printer Pro but incompatibility without a Pc or Mac still is a problem(we are trying to avoid buying a PC or Mac and function with IPads and IPones alone). Anyway still working on it but wanted to make sure of all the limitations IPad use has presented here at the Cafe is not self/ignorance induced. Am I correct that you cannot post photos in either the Forum or Classifieds with these devices?

Mobile Apple products can't upload images from their browser like PC or Apple desktops and laptops. The limitation is the Apple product, not this forum. However, you can access the forum through an app called ForumRunner that allows you to upload from your photo library. It's $1.99 I believe. Not particularly a fan of the app but it does the trick with images. The Classifieds are a different software product that cant e accesses with this app so you'll be out of luck there.

Thanks Scott, I'll probably end up buying another Laptop eventually but we really haven't missed it other than these these inconveniences. I'm pretty sure I can resolve the printing issue without having to buy an Airprinter. The IPad music multi track recording Apps don't compare favorably either but there again how good is good enough for the nonprofessional tinkerer.

BTW, I haven't tried it on this forum yet, but I discovered that with iOS 6, my iPad can access the standard file uploading protocol used on Mac and PC. When I click on Select File, it actually goes to my photo library now. Before, it just couldn't talk to these.

Trying a again with new software.

OK, still not working correctly but I was able to get a file from my photos up but I'm having trouble moving previous photos into the selected area for reposting.
