Anyone having a problem on iPhone or iPad doing a copy/paste? I haven't been able to do either function of my devices all day. I can do it to other sites however.

Yes, I have had problems lately trying to copy/paste, select/bold, and various similar functions when using my iPad2 and iPhone6 (both iOS 8.1.1). I don't have a laptop or desktop anymore so it is kind of frustrating. Has been happening for several days now, at least. I have no problem with either device elsewhere.

I just read about the snowflakes in the banner perhaps having caused a problem, so I did a shutdown/reboot.  I'll post here if I still have a problem, otherwise, no news is good news.
Thanks


UPDATE: I am still having issues. In case it matters, I am using Safari.

There is a google chrome extension that allows you to right click on an IG and get the 'image URL'. Does anyone have the link for that? I lost it when I had wipe my computer clean and searching the extension store isnt helping. Thanks.

I didn't know there was such a thing! I've tried this with a couple of IG. If it doesn't say copy url it does say "copy url address" which we can use the post image!

This one?

Hover

That's not it, GA but when I get back to my desktop, I will try it. Thanks.

This extension was called something like Instagram Embed? It allowed you to right click and get the image url for easy picture posting. Someone on here gave me the link quite a while ago.

It's not a huge deal if I can't locate it, I'm mobile most of the time anyway.

I have to say I'm loving the Hover Zoom. If anyone is using Chrome, you can go to that link I posted, click on the it's free link, it downloads in seconds.

When you're on twitter, you don't need to click any links, hover your mouse over the link and you see a nice big picture. Right click on the picture, "copy image url" go to the reply box, click Insert an image, insert, done.

Same goes for IG.

For those that don't know how to bring pics over and have Chrome, this is easy. You can try it out in the testing thread.

Thanks lipsis, I know that's not what you were looking for but this is great! If you didn't mention what you were looking for, I wouldn't have known!

ETA: I just tried it when searching for pics, using images, it works the same way. Hover over the picture, it because big, right click to copy the image url.

I am having pop up ads again, on I Pad and now on my phone. It is every time I open a post . Can't close them. Any suggestions?

Hopefully GA will have something for you, Barbrn78. Are you using Chrome or Safari? I'd try the other one to start with. I know there are some sites that are a pain with my iPad on Safari but haven't had trouble with this one.

albean99: thanks for reply. I am using Safari. Do I just download chrome? I even downloaded an ad blocker , that didn't work. You have to report information that doesn't show up on the pop up ( games).

I know Safari is not an issue on the regular Macbook's(this is what I have). I have heard IPad's and phones do have intermittent issues, but not sure if it's a safari issue or forumotion issue.

When I went to Apple store, they said it was web site issue. ( expected them to say that!) .

Website would be forumotion and I think Apple is correct. I know GA is frequently in contact with them to work out bugs and it seems the bugs seem more prominent with Ipad and Iphone. 
Like I said, I use an Macbook via safari and almost never have an issue. Usually if I have an issue, I restart/reboot and that solves it. Usually. 

Thanks so much. I appreciate the help! I restarted the iPad and phone. That's the only way to close these ads . Maybe tech support can check for bugs. I have a MacBook Air, it's just easier for me to use iPad and phone especially when out.
