Posting problems!

[Old Mill Tree Care]

I am always using my iPad when on Arbtalk but I can't figure out how to add in all the smiley faces etc.

Also, and most frustrating, I can't copy a previous quote and paste it to my post so you know who I'm replying to.

 

Can anyone help?

I'm sure it's all simple but I'm a technical moron so please be gentle.

Are you using safari or tapatalk to view arbtalk?

My number 1 made this suggestion, Double tap and select the text you want to copy. You should see a prompt that says copy. Than double tap where you want to paste you should see a prompt that says paste and than selecte it. Try it. al the best.

I've tried the double tap method which works fine as that copies the text.

 

What I really want to do is copy it as it appears and when it's pasted onto my post it has a grey background, as I see everyone else doing.

I think I'm using safari. I use tapatalk on my iPhone.

Sorry my number 1 has only seen this done one other time and alas he can't remember he shall only receive 10 lashing for the effort.

Take it it's not got the grey background and it just appears as normal text.

Maybe someone using a mac with safari can help, thought I could but not sure if I can now. Does the copied text say quote on it when it has been copied?

^ that's the previous post copied and pasted. I'm on my iPad and to copy it I had to press and hold until I got the two dots to spread out over the text, then the copy icon.

 

It's just a bit annoying and I still can't use the comedy faces and all that!

 

There must be some tech savvy iPad users on here!
