I see so many features here that people utilize and I have no idea how you all do it.I think I may have figured it out.
For example; some people make one post where they quote several people's comments and make comments to each. I always have to make several posts to reply to each comment instead of doing so in just one post.
There are several other neat things I see, but I'll focus on one at a time and use this thread as a test. Anyone willing to teach an old dog new tricks? Did I just open myself up for ridicule? :o And please, refrain from posting comments to "google" it.

I'm a big ole dummy too, and don't know to do all of that is this forum, so your not alone ;)We're not dumb, just haven't learned yet.

I do my quotes missionary style the way the lord intended us to do them . Those others are obviously using black magic or mac voodoo .
Well, my hubby tells me I'm not the brightest star in the night time sky, but never the less, I'm easy to like , after I pay all the bills each month, of course ;D :D
I think I may have figured it out.
I think you may have.
Have you ever tried the HELP (http://forums.poz.com/index.php?action=help) pages?

NO :( I have a difficult time scrolling and reading thanks to having to zoom at 400%.

Oh, and btw, you can also see how code was used in a person's post by clicking on the quote button. You'll see the code they used in your reply box.
I had also wondered how you name a URL, as many will do with "linky" or "see here."
[url]see here[/url][url=http://google.com]see here[/url]which will look like this:[url=http://=http://google.comSee Here]=http://google.comSee Here[/url]when what you needed was[url=http://google.com]See Here[/url]type the words "see here"
highlight the words and click the (http://forums.poz.com/Themes/default/images/bbc/url.gif) "insert hyperlink" button
that will give you this:Code: [Select][url]see here[/url]
click after the first "Url"
type "=" and then type the link url
that will give you this:Code: [Select][url=http://google.com]see here[/url]which will look like this:
see here (http://google.com)

some of you are honest to goodness lost causes
Good evening, boys....
To borrow some words from Mission Impossible (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0060009/)
Your mission, should you choose to accept it will be to create a new post containing a LINK, a photo, and some formatted text :o
some of you are honest to goodness lost causes
Some of us don't spend the majority of our existence online. :o But thanks for your opinion, it really means a great deal to me.
FINALLY, an avatar I can sink my teeth into!

...I'd rather spend my time watching that man of yours climb out the pool.
I can't take my eyes off of it, especially the second one. It's like one of those black and white spirally things you used to see in the cartoons.
looks barely 18 and I know how you are...
Another issue is many websites, mostly news sites, have video that says it requires Flash or some other program, but the IPad is not set up for it. Sometimes, you can get around that by finding the video in other places that will play on IPad. Or, when you can play the video, there's no share button or copy URL button.
1) it's not a computer
2) perhaps you should have bought a non-Apple tablet
3) perhaps you should investigate these thing before shelling out $500
I was seriously just going to buy an Ipad, but not now.

I still adore my iPad. One of the best inventions evah.
Tedderz, you just need to get used to some of the gadget's idiosyncrasies. You may want to download the free ebook that explains its features and some "unknown tricks" (i.e. splitting the keyboard, some of the best apps you need to get, etc). Be sure to get "Docs" for ebooks and PDF files, and McTube as a YouTube platform.
Guillermina, you don't need an iPad. Stick to your Dell laptop from 2002.
Dear Tedderz... Apple, and in particular Steve Jobs, was / is adamant that its products would not support Adobe Flash. As Miss P said, you should have investigated first. And, it's all about apps these days, not browsers. ::)
That said, even with iOS 6 the multi-tasking capabilities suck on an iPad or iPhone. And there's no point in having multiple cores on a processor if the software can't multi-task effectively. That's one area where iOS is a big fail. I'm puzzled why the engineers at Apple haven't addressed this -- multi-tasking is hardly a new concept. But they will catch up, sooner or later, because Samsung is giving Apple a bit of competition.
Phablets or Phoneblets are great, as long as you carry a backpack or a murse. They are hardly pocket-sized, and kind of a pain to hold up to your ear. You'll want a bluetooth headset.
