Inserting album images using an iPad?

[Essjay]

Just wondering if someone using an iPad can help, as I've not got a lot of hair left to pull out!

I'm trying to insert an album photo below a small line of text, except the photo is insisting on placing itself above the text, even if I position the curser below the line?

I also notice that if I try to insert any "smiley" at the end of any text, that will also jump to the beginning.

I've tried just about everything, but before I give up completely, I thought I'd ask.

I'm suffering exactly the same problems on my ipad 2, but I was ok prior to installing IOS 7. This upgrade has even sabotaged my iPhone 4 which is really slow and glitchy now. The screen locks and the thing even switches itself off from time to time. I'm well hacked off!

I think it's a deliberate ploy by Apple to get people to buy their latest products.

BTW, the 'evil' smilie should be after the last sentence!

[Essjay]

Thanks Bill, although I'm not sure this is all down to IOS7, as I had the problem with both pictures and smilies before the upgrade, also on the ipad2.

(again smilie should be at the end)

I'm a PC man myself, so the iPad is a bit outside my knowledge zone. Chris Bott knows more about these devices and I'm sure he will be about sooner or later and able to advise....

Well I do have an old iPhone so am trying this post on that.

My daughter has an iPad that I may be able to try, but to be honest I expect to find the same as everyone else. Yep, smiley went to the beginning.

this one was a colon and a open bracket.

[Essjay]

Thanks Chris, I reckon you're right that everyone else iPad/iPhone wise will be in the same boat.

Just out of curiosity I thought I'd try the emoticon keyboard on the iPad rather than the ones built into the reply box:

edit: well that seems to be the way to get round it 👍, well for the "smilies" at least

Hey, they work! Thanks Essjay!

I'm afraid they don't show properly for everyone using a PC though chaps

Yeap - all I get is a sucession of small squares So, we'll know you had an emotion - but we won't know what it was! That should make for an interesting situation.

I knew it was too good to be true. There's only one solution, you'll all have to use iPads from now on............only joking! (I'd use an emoticon but you wouldn't see it anyway).

I do find it mighty strange that of all the forums I frequent, and there's a few, this one has continued to be the only one that constantly shows an aversion to Apple products.

Maybe its because we're totally bananas (semi-colon, dash, right parenthesis)

I get the same problem on my samsung 10.1 very annoying when it jumps back to the beginning of that particular page

[Essjay]

So it's beginning to look like the the forum is pretty much anti anything that isn't a PC

I wouldn't necessarily consider that to be a negative quality, Essjay......

ps just seen your post - more likely it pre-dates anything that isn't a PC

You mean there are things other than PC's?

BEB (including a smiley - because he can!)

PS I have the solution!!! Its just come to me - decide on all the emotions you're going to have during a post, then put them all in first. Then you can insert the text around them! Brilliant! Who said Mods can't think laterally!

I reckon you've nailed the reason there Pete

Done from my Ipad 2 with a picture below text!

No issues for me! Even a smiley to boot!

[Essjay]

So David, give us a clue how you managed it!

Steve ........even more confused now!

[Colin Leighfield]

This is all above my head. I do most of the forum stuff on this Ipad, but to up-load photos I have to do it on the PC. (Apple Imac).

[David Gilder]

Having written the bit I want, i then hit the return key to go to next line

then insert image from album icon and select the image

Then click below the image and hit return again to start typing next line below!

i have to admit that I sometimes have issues when adding emoticon and it does sometimes jump to beginning, but I delete it from there and just click back to where I want it and normally it goes in correctly second time!
