Apologies if this has been asked and answered before.  I and my BC.org pals who are iPhone users can't figure out how to post from our iPhones.  The "keyboard" just wont come up, no way to post at all.  Anyone?  TIA

    Glad you asked this question - I am trying to decide between an iPhone and a Blackberry...and I need the capability to post here...

    Unfortunately iPhones are not compatible with the WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get)  editor that is used on this site. Hopefully Apple will start supporting rich text editors like this soon as many people have already reported this problem.

    As for Blackberry, I am not 100% sure but unlike iPhones, Blackberry's come with a keyboard with actual buttons, not on the screen. So I would assume that you could post from your Blackberry. Though it should depend on what browser you use on your Blackberry. You may want to ask at the shop if Blackberry's support the WYSIWYG editor (the one that is used here is called TinyMCE) or what browser you should use to be able to use this type of editor before you buy. There are quite a few 3rd party applications that let you use the WYSIWYG editor on iPhones or Blackberry's but they are mainly designed for blogs that use this editor. So make sure they know you are not talking about how you can post to your blog from your iPhone/Blackberry when you ask as some of these applications are only intended to work on a certain blog site.

    While I have not tried to post from my Blackberry, ever since bco.org added the "side bars" and other "stuff" it is very difficult to read the board from my Blackberry.

    I will try to post and see what happens.

    Logging in on this site and posting are completely different. Like I said, you have to be able to use the WYSIWYG editor in order to post but iPhones are not supporting it.
