When I use the iPad to reply in a forum, Ihave to hit "reply"on the upper right of the previous post, Then when the screen to type comes up, there is an icon of a clipboard with a "T" on it. Click on that, then you can enter text in the next box that comes up, when you are done typing, hit insert. then ypu will see your comment placed in the reply box, then hit ok to finish posting. It seems that I can't just click on the text area to type, Ihave to use the insert text icon in the menu of the reply box.
