Ipad posting issues

Not a Europe question but more of a "posting" problem on this forum.
When using my Ipad, and I try to post or reply on the travel forum, the blue "add reply" or "create topic" button doesn't show any letters, it's solid blue, and doesn't recognize any writing.

I tried this with four different browsers and get nothing.

Anyone else have this problem? Or an idea on how to fix it? This only started a few days ago.

Merci/Grazie/Danke

I certainly am no techie person. But when my ipad starts misbehaving suddenly, I switch it off. This has always worked for me. Hope this helps.

I am running 9.0.2 with no problems with any site or app. The first recourse should always be to re-boot as suggested earlier. That way everything resets to normal.

I'm running 9.02 as well and I think when I updated is when the problem started. I've rebooted a couple of times but it hasn't helped.

Frank II,
I've been having a boatload of problems with safari since I upgraded to ios 9. I downloaded the google chrome for ios app over the weekend and some of the websites that I was having difficulty with are working fine with the chrome browser. I can see the add reply fine right now with chrome.

Frank II,

You could try clearing the Cache and Cookies and see if that helps. As others have suggested, another solution would be to use a different Browser. I normally use Firefox and rarely have any problems. I do use Safari on my iPhone but haven't upgraded to the latest OS yet, as I always prefer to wait for the bugs to be worked out. There are ALWAYS a few bugs in a new OS.

Buttons should be more visible for iOS users. The "characters remaining" functionality may not be fully triggering until you press away from that field: we're working on a fix right now for that.

No problems with replying on my iPad, not now or ever. This must be related to your iOS upgrade ( I haven't done that, on the advice of my techie son).

"No problems with replying on my iPad, not now or ever."

Lola, don't I remember when your iPad changed some German words into English words that had absolutely no meaning in the context of the sentence?

I avoid using iAnything with no problems, not now or ever.

I just tried to do a reply using my iPad and had no problems. I will have to stop this reply to see what OS is on this iPad.

I just tried to do a reply using my iPad and had no problems. I will have to stop this reply to see what OS is on this iPad. I just found out that I am using 9.0.1 OS on my iPad. And, from the problems I see from folks using .2, I will stay with .1 for the time being.

How are you accessing the website ? via Safari, Google or ? ? ?

I've notices a lot of app update because of OS 9.0.2

Hello Everyone!

Everything should be back to normal (or perhaps even better). The buttons have been re-styled on iOS to be more like our normal buttons, and the character count meter has been redesigned and no longer disables the button.
