Good afternoon, all. I've recently become an iPad user, and I know I've got a lot to learn. Here's today's question: when I'm surfing SIGforum from the iPad and touch the reply button on a particular topic, a new tab opens up... but it's simply an "about:blank" tab. But there's no content there -- no text box, no graphics, no nothing. What gives? ---- Details: 6th generation iPad, iOS 15.2 God bless America. | ||

Doesn't your desktop/laptop browser do the same thing: Open a separate post creation window? Mine all have. "America is at that awkward stage.

Yessir, it does -- on the Mac and the PC, I get a new, separate window with the reply box showing. But on the iPad, I get a new tab (instead of a new window), and the tab is entirely empty.  I figure it's a setting I need to turn on or off somewhere, but darned if I know what it is. God bless America. | |||

Same here. Wife bought me one for my birthday The new tab is less annoying than some pics and videos not showing though. Life moves pretty fast.

I don't mind that it's a new tab instead of a new window -- I kind of like it, honestly. Thing is, it's just plain empty.  God bless America. | |||

I’m typing this on an iPad. Opened a new tab, but with the standard reply format. Using Chrome as a browser. Also did it with Safari and it worked fine.

Okay, there's my bonehead moment. I didn't think to try other browsers. (Was using the DuckDuckGo app.) I'll be right back.... God bless America. | |||

Oat, you’re the man (and I’m the bonehead). It works in Safari. I’ll try Chrome shortly. Thank you! - - - ETA: 34 minutes, asked to answered. I love this place for that. God bless America. | |||

You have to use "Reply with Quote". It's a folder looking icon at the lower right of the message. When in doubt, mumble | |||

Sounds like DuckDuckGo is blocking something for the SigForum website. | |||

Go Vols! |
Works but I get the blank page for about 5 seconds before the reply box comes up. This is something new. | |||

I don't get that on my iPad, but now and then on my computers. I just close it out and try again. _____________________________________________________ Sliced bread, the greatest thing since the 1911. | |||

| Thank you Very little  |
DDG won't work on SF when trying to post on an iDevice, it does the same on my iFone, iPad, You will have to use Chrome or Safari on the iStuff, didn't take the time to find out why, just changed browsers to solve the issue. | |||
