I get "Can't Find Server"  often for S&F on my desktop, but when I do retry it does connect.

Yes, it just does it when typing messages. The are usually  a little long.

Can someone please help MaryTx and myself with these questions?

Me first: can you tell me how to post on SF from the IPad?  Any pointers will be appreciated.  and for

MaryTX:  how can you post on SF from an Iphone.

Or maybe point us in the right direction.

Thanks.

I seldom use my iPad Air.  I just opened it went to this site and discussion.   Went to post and typed this message,                    I did use a Bluetooth keyboard.  I do not know how to type into the post without the keyboard.  Use the keyboard on occasion with both the pad and phone, hate to try typing on the phone.

Old dummy here could not find the keyboard on the pad. it then hit me that that Bluetooth keyboard turned lt off.  Typed this without the Bluetooth to see if it posted. 

Test.....

Hal, I like your front porch   At least you got a picture!  I tried it and got something not what I thought it was supposed to be!  Back to the drawing board!

Mary

hal you need to choose fullsize and not thumbnail to have it post big

Mary, I clicked on "attachments and other options" at bottom of post and then photo album, but had some problem finding all my pictures (?) just picked what was available and clicked on post and that is what I got.  So I need to play more. 

bubble, click on it and see if it doesn't open up full size.

I fixed the size, Hal.  The software will reduce pictures of 1000 pixels to the site's acceptable 800.  But one thing people forgot in their instructions to you, you also need to keep the file size at no more than 165 kb.

Thank you Jeanne.  Hope I can remember that and hopefully I can figure out how to re-size on the IPad.

Jeanne I thought our limit was 640, how about posting the size and kb limits once more and somewhere in possibly a posting photos how to.

Jeanne, I always try to keep the size to 650/700  and the kb to under100.  It works OK and does not overload our capacities here as more people are using that now.

JeanneLee.  Would appreciate a new discussion.  HOW TO POST PHOTOS IN A DISCUSSION.

Hate to clutter up other discussions.  My earlier post also addressed both size and kb, but for those looking into the discussion the heading should  advise your limits.   Also if the gallery still works someone might include instructions.

As for safety agree all we do is now at risk.  I have used Shrinkpicture.com for years and have often checked for safety.  It appears they are safe and you do not give them info to log in.  Gave up on Photobucket and they kept your photos.   

Hope others have a better, safer way, but this might be taken up in a new discussion.

Hal...

On my Ipad mini, I

1. click on Safari...my browser there.

2. Put the S&F address in the top bar, just like on a computer.   seniorsandfriends.org

3. Choose my discussion. Read to the end.

4. Click REPLY and tap my finger in the open text box.  When I do that the keyboard appears on my screen.  I type in what I want.

5. Click POST and it appears....just like on a computer.


I don't have a clue on an iphone as I don't have one.  I don't attempt on my android smartphone. It's all too small for me to do comfortably.

Jane good description, and like you, I would not attempt on phone, but should work.

jane, I was referring to pictures.  Which I finally figured out but now I have figure a way to resize.  I think I may have found a way to do that.  I will let you know.

OK...sorry for misunderstanding. 

On my IPAD, pictures are in the camera roll section.

I have an apple ipad...and for some reason want charge completely..just goes to 50 per cent...any one tell me what to do...thx. CC

Jack...think it was my connection...moved it to another plug and it's charging...thanks for ur reply CC

But I will ask....where is the sleep button ? CC

Good old Google, reply

Your iPad (or iPhone or iPod Touch) has two buttons â€" the home button at the front and the sleep (or wake) button near the top right-hand corner.Jun 26, 2012

Thank you....Merry Christmas...CC

Jack....I need to re read my IPad book for dummies again.....I use the sleep button...but forgot that's what it was called and off button....CC

Jane. I am still using my 5 year old IPad. Now once in awhile to get a app it says needs OS 10.4 or  One thing . Mine shows fully UD to o.s 9.3.5. Doe that mean  can't go now to the 10 plus.?

Jane I hope you got your answer.  I did not get a reminder, seldom use the pad.    I do use when two sports are on. 
With Xfinity I watch one on my tv and the other on the pad.  Posting a shot of the form that came with the pad, and also there are a number of youtubes that explain.  A good one is.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jYwDyJ2KleQ

Jeanne I opened my pad, went to General  Clicked it and found I was due for an update. to IOS 11.2.6  clicked to have it installed.   You may have other updates, would click on any that need updated.  If you have apps you may get reminders from the apple store.

Jack. Now I am looking on Mine. I did clik Update and it ran for a few min. then came up saying " Your Software is up to date." ios
IOS 9.3.5.  Can't see anywhere it showing list of Updates that are higher.  I think we bought at the same time.
