Solved: How can I do a bold font on an iPad - Page 2

Anonymous · ‎16-01-2014

Hi,

As the title says really, how can I do bold text in these forums using an iPad?

Toby · ‎17-01-2014

Hi Adam,

Thanks for that and sorry for the confusion Colonel_K

The issue is that many tablets are not recognised as laptops/PCs. They should in many cases, as tablet screens are now almost as large.

I'll talk to Lithium to see if anything can be done to bring more options back for those of you on tablets.

Unless it's just me I can't quote someone on my reply on my ipad either so people can't always see who you are replying to

Thanks Toby. Yes, its bold in the forums that I wanted to use.

I needed this to signify a question in the Virtual Interview post for Windows Phone 8. @Chris_K has asked for the posts to be in bold.

I ended up having to edit the post on my desktop to use a bold font - a fun workaround

Yeah, I don't see anywhere where I can quote replies on an iPad either.

You don't get any rich text options on iOS, as I said last night. You do on Android though

I have no affiliation whatsoever with O2 or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. This is not Customer Service so we are unable to help with account specific issues.

Good to hear of the workaround

I've asked Lithium about this, so once I have some more info, I'll see what I can do.

Thans Toby

If I realy need to do quotes etc when out and on wifi with my ipad I have to login to my pc with logmein and use ie on the pc at work but it is a pain having to leave pc on just to do that.

If as Mi5 says it works on android us ios users are being discriminated
