I tried to make a post a little while ago on my tablet. I've been using it for the last couple years instead of my outdated pc. Haven't had many problems posting or adding the occasional pic. Always have the fat finger problem with the touch screen. So today when I would upload my pics they were turned sideways. I would rotate them in my gallery but would still load wrong. So I took new pics horizontally instead of vertically. And they loaded properly. So I added text between each and hit 'preview post' and the text was gone. Hit auto restore and and all the pics were gone. Now I wanna smash my tablet. It just seems it don't want me to add more than 1 pic per post. Im using full site and not phone app. So as soon as my blood pressure drops Im going to try again. This time one pic per post

I can understand the frustration, always best to take a deep breath, relax and try again. Those tablets ain't cheap! Lol

I'm pretty happy I never had that happen to me yet. I had a time when I set my phone to make space automatically, long story short it deleted photos one by one over a course of a month, I downloaded some big apps and all of my photos were gone!!

Sorry about that, Coinman123:thumbsup:

Please don't smash your tablet.

Crushing or burning is the approved method.

I have had my iPad for four years, and love it. But if I have pics to post, I still use the PC because it is easier and much less frustrating. My PC is ancient, but has functioned mostly as a dumb box since I got the iPad and only gets turned on once a week or so when I do online banking and such. Otherwise, and except for posting pics, the ipad is my best friend.

Just be glad that you weren't living in the 1800's and everytime you ran your' fingernail across your' tablet (old chalk tablet), it would screech and send shivers up your' spine and it couldn't send pics!:icon_scratch::laughing7:

I feel your pain. Might be a good time to put the tablet down and get yourself a Happy Meal.

My iPad mini does that to me too. I have to remember to turn the iPad sideways to take a pic so it posts the right way then if I'm trying it insert more than one pic I have to post it and then edit the post to insert another pic.

Oh and the key board loves to do me in too, it skips letters that I tap then auto correct steps in to finish the job of making me look like a total idiot if I don't catch and correct it.

I can surely relate,wainzoid; My son got me one for christmas that I thought would make posting (esp pictures) a snap. It was aweful;.
My wife now uses it to play games!
