Thank you.

 

Interesting conundrum here then. Scoobynet runs on vBulletin as do a myriad of other sites. So if Scoobynet is the only site with an issue then they have it misconfigured somehow (and the many bugs that we keep reporting that the mods keep ignoring would support that).

However something like vBulletin shouldn't be able to be misconfigured so badly it crashes a web browser so it begs the question whether the software is in fact not very good whatsoever or whether the problem is with the iPad.

So I guess the question is do other vBulletin sistes have the same issues?

 

LOL.... you don't need Flash ... Steve said so! Until of course you want to watch videos on something as obscure as the BBC's website

 

you can get a windows tablet for less than 3/4 the price , why put up with the agro

 

I thought IB owned vBulletin, could be wrong. Anyhow, no doubt it's all vBulletin as the forums are full of people complaining, so I'm told, it's driving people so nuts they're prepared to sell their iPad! Who knew Scoobynet held such value.

 

I'm replying now using the normal reply button as opposed to quick reply which I normally use be it in iPad, net book or whatever else, still no issues for me and again typing this on my ipad2

 

Pretty much always works for me, but then I forget and nearly toss the iPad through the window when I lose a chunk of typing. Imagine how good some of my posts could have been if I was using a Galaxy Tab.

 

So if the BB software is at fault then why did it run without issue on iOS 4.XX?

All the faults reported on the Apple support forums are not just people using Scoobynet you know...

There is a fault with iOS5 and Safari, it's just that Apple are not acknowledging the fault as they don't even know how to fix it as even the Apple gods known as a 'genius' (an oxymoron if ever there was one) can't sort it either.

I'm a loyal Apple user but this is really starting to p1$$ me off and if it carries on for much longer I will jump ship.

 

Jump ship, try Pistonheads.

 

You can get a mini notebook for half the price. You can download and actually save files, use the BBC news site, watch Flash videos, use USB devices, output to a larger screen, etc. etc....... but it doesn't say Apple or look cool of course!

 

As in sell the iPad 2 and when my iPhone comes up for renewal go for an Android based mobile.

As much as I admire your brand loyalty your failure to even acknowledge a well known problem since the introduction of iOS 5 really does you no favours.

 

I've got a Samsung NC10, it was consigned to the drawer but it's now seeing a new lease of live thanks to iOS 5.

 

Exactly... it may not have touch screen etc. ... but it works

 

Actually it works very well - I've expanded the memory and it's running Windows 7 ultimate (with some of the effects turned off) but it has reminded me of what a VFM netbook is capable of.

 

It is proving a bit of a dealbreaker (err being in the video industry too). I was hoping there would be a fix - but it seems its a bit more insiduous than an OS browser without a plugin. Boardroom ***** waving seems to be the culprit rather than software? Still - guess this is old news for most of you Shame as it could be such a good device - so slick in many other areas.

 

It doesn't stop with Flash sadly as the much touted HTML5/H264 Holy Grail is beset with problems across Apple devices.

What plays on one Apple device/IOS combination doesn't on another and so on and so forth..... it's a crock of **** and I have been trying to find a solution to work on all browsers for weeks now for a client of mine ... every time I think I have cracked it some other piece of **** Apple device comes up that doesn't work.

To add insult to injury all the encodes I have come up with play on all Android devices I have tried

Still at least I know more about FFMpeg encoding than I ever thought possible to know

 

You can do all that on an iPad, why would you buy a netbook, basically a fad that's already over.

 

So, how long is it going to take for Apple to fix this issue. Or am I better off returning it for a refund and buying something else?

 

If this problem is Scoobynet crashing then I can assure you that I do acknowledge and have been as vocal as I can about it. It's horrible when your browser isn't supported by a website, happens all the time, but it's a first for Scoobynet as far as I know. They can't even get the adverts right and thats a huge chunk of revenue, I'd ask for my money back if I was an advertiser.

Scoobynet need to update but don't care.

 

When you find yourself in such a situation, just ask "What would Steve do?"

Steve would go to YouTube and download some videos, then he'd copy their format. Or are you being a bit silly and trying to deliver the same file to all devices, one size fits all, please tell me you haven't fallen into that pit.

 

Get a galaxy tab if your not happy

 

Anyone know what a second hand, 16g wifi iPad 1 is worth? Well looked after, just 2 small scratches on bottom of screen.

 

More than a new HP Slate and most likely a Galaxy Tab as well.

 

Looked on CEX website they will give 145 to 150 cash for it depending on how they rate the condition, that's cash.
Otherwise check eBay.

 

I'd rather give it to my son than sell it for that!

 

I agree that's low but then vex are not well known for their prices usually, probably do better on eBay and get over 200

 

No you can't do any of that on an out of the box iPad. There is no file system to download to for starters. Yes I know it should all be in the Cloud, but we aren't there in terms of connectivity yet. People still want to work offline. Apple have a haboit of killing things before the replacement is ready!

 

You're just trolling now

What was it you said you were doing in another thread..? A free education?

 

Why is trying to deliver the same file to all similar devices (e.g. mobile plaforms) silly?

Straight answer please!

 

Why deliver something that can't be used. Seriously, go to Apple/YouTube on a few different browsers see what gets delivered.

Go to YouTube.com/html5 first.
