    You can reply now using the iPad but it's not straight forward. Select the HTML icon ,disable the word wrap enables the update button ,re enable word wrap, Type your message when you've finished click update.

    For completeness in this thread, Android users can 'force' the keyboard to appear by pressing and holding "menu".
    I couldn't find a similar thing for the iPhone (and don't have one to try out) but if anybody knows such a thing, please share it. From experience with Android, this is by no means the only place with this problem.

    I have an Android phone with a keyboard as well as a touch screen; I find I can access the site without difficulty, and post replies, etc. However, for some reason it won't let me use capital letters... Doesn't sound like a big deal, but it does make my sentences look a little strange!

    Just a little update to this thread there is an app called "Tapatalk" if the club registers with this app then apparently you can browse and post on the forum easily.

    Let me know if you decide to register OC.

    Thanks

    I tried to post on here using android on two different mobiles but failed. I could modify the post subject but not the main body of the message.
