Hi Team,

Why is it that on my iPad when I select a link from within a Forum Thread I receive a pretty image of the link (apparently) but no actual link functionality. Is there a setting I need to correct or what??????

Very frustrating when seeking further information.

Trust someone can eradicate my grief.

Are you using the mobile or desktop version? While you answer I will go and get an iPad and check both!

Both versions are working as expected - maybe try a restart of your iPad! let us know how you get on but I cannot fault it on either versions.

If its the E Book download from thread 101753 I tried on the link, no good also tried downloading from an email link supplied by the supplier and my PC internet explorer said possible corrupt link so have emailed E Book producer back asking him to investigate his site or link

Re-booted iPad, nothing changed. I still receive an image of the link that is some 60 mm wide x 45 mm high and nothing happens when it is tapped.

And ken m4, yes it is the E Book that finally got me off my butt as this has been occurring for some time.

Opens as it should on my laptop PC however my daily ExploreOz fix is from my recliner during TV commercials and during most of the moronic stuff on telly.

I just tried that link on my iPad and it works fine.
I access EO constantly on my iPad without issue,

I don't use the mobile version.

David & Michelle,

Just took a pic of the screen using iPhone. Email a phone number and I will text it to you.

Thanks David, for your excellent advice. I was tapping the link, not holding it. This old fart just learnt a bit more.
