The recent kerfuffle over the longer lines disappearing off people's screens got us wondering about whether accessing Gransnet on an iPad or other tablet raises other issues that we're not aware of. (At GNHQ we mainly work on laptops.)

As part of our mission to make Gransnet as good as possible, it would be useful to find out if there's anything that annoys you about Gransnet on tablets - or indeed that you like.

Please let us know brew

nana No, I have to go to the PC to do that, and for FB mostly too. jeni, now, has THE most up to date IPad and can probably do anything on it. (Retracts statement immediately before you lot start getting suggestive.)

Hi folks,

According to lovely Tech, uploading on iPad and iPhone won't work at the moment because of how Apple works - they don't allow us access to the files stored on their devices.

So until Apple changes their mind about that, the best thing to do is to email them to yourself, which you can then access from a computer, save them and then upload them to Gransnet.

Hope that clears some things up for you!

Does that mean Ariadne that you can put photos on GN direct from you iPad?

Thanks all. That explains why I haven't been able to put photos on. I only look at Gransnet on my iPad. Will use laptop!

Mine is an early iPad (one of the first to arrive in the UK) and doesn't have an inbuilt camera. I store some photos on it but can't access them from my GN profile page.

Thanks josiegransnet I may boot up the old computer and use that, but would be easier if cn do it direct on the iPad.

Alternatively. Backup your iPad to your computer (which you should be doing anyway!)

ariadne haven't got a camera,but can take brilliant ones with the iPad,so I thought if I could then send them to my email on the laptop,then email them to my profile on here....phew..confused

What I do, nellie is:

E- mail myself (from the laptop) the photos I want on the IPad, then save them, which is dead easy.
If people send me e -mails with photos, the I just save them on the iPad.

But you'd probably thought of all that!
