Juts took a look and there is not much point in me even trying as that comes up with the tinyMCE editor and as we have discussed that will not yet work on mobile devices due to browser problems.

It seems to me that the REAL question that this thread should be focusing on is why your site delivers the TinyMCE editor on mobile devices. I will take a look at the code.

Can you copy and paste here the contents of the touch devices user agent list in the admin components mobile panel…

No that is so strange because when I go to do a reply to a post, I just get the reply box and no editing functions on my ipad, I’ve just had a look.  I get my smileys and the upload attachments button.  That is very strange indeed.  Or am I looking at it wrong.

I’m really really sorry to be such a pain.

I don’t know what you mean by ‘no editing functions’.
And can you send the list?

What I mean is I have no Bold, Italic etc bar above the input area.  Which I believe is the Tiny MCE editor.  See screenshot taken from my Ipad.

I only see that in all browsers I have tried.

I’m using an ipad2 does that make any difference???

I think I may have found the problem. Too many animated smilies. Testing now. I’ll let you know the outcome.

Also can you change the ‘ipad’ to ‘iPad’ please in the user agent list…

Can we concentrate in what editor is being delivered rather then the crashing? As that is really the important part here. There is not much I can do, I am afraid, with repeated posts that just reporting it is still crashing.

Well this is the main point I have been struggling to get established and that I keep coming back to in this thread. So let’s recap one more time.

If SP determines that the current user agent is a mobile device it forces the use of the plain text editor no matter what editor is set for usual use by that user on a desktop machine. This is because mobile browsers do not yet support the standard protocols required for tinyMCE (Rich Text Editor) to function.

What I saw yesterday on your site was that the tinyMCE editor WAS being loaded despite the above check for user agents and what I need to establish is why this check is failing.

I don’t see an editor on my iPad when I post. It is the same as what you have on your site.
