Bonus TIPS for Successful Posting

Try a Search First
It is highly recommended that a Search be done on your topic before posting, as many questions have been answered in prior posts. As with any search engine, the shorter the search term, the more "hits" will be returned, but the more specific the search term is, the greater the relevance of those "hits". Searching for "table" might well return every message on the board while "tablesum" would greatly restrict the number of messages returned.

When you do post
First, make sure you are posting your question in the correct forum. For example, if you post an issue regarding Desktop applications on the Mobile & Browser Applications board , not only will your question not be seen by the appropriate audience, it may also be removed or relocated.

The more detail you provide about your problem or question, the more likely someone is to understand your request and be able to help. A sample database with a minimum of records (and its support files, zipped together) will make it much easier to diagnose issues with your application. Screen shots of error messages are especially helpful.

When explaining how to reproduce your problem, please be as detailed as possible. Describe every step, click-by-click and keypress-by-keypress. Otherwise when others try to duplicate your problem, they may do something slightly different and end up with different results.

A note about attachments
You may only attach one file to each message. Attachment file size is limited to 2MB. If you need to include several files, you may do so by zipping them into a single archive.

If you forgot to attach your files to your post, please do NOT create a new thread. Instead, reply to your original message and attach the file there.

When attaching screen shots, it is best to attach an image file (.BMP, .JPG, .GIF, .PNG, etc.) or a zip file of several images, as opposed to a Word document containing the screen shots. Because Word documents are prone to viruses, many message board users will not open your Word file, therefore limiting their ability to help you.

Similarly, if you are uploading a zipped archive, you should simply create a .ZIP file and not a self-extracting .EXE as many users will not run your EXE file.

    Strange icons covering buttons with iOS 8.1

    Is anyone else using an iPad that has noticed this in the forum. The buttons still work but look like they have been crossed out. And Who do we notify?

    Apple? ;)

    Looking at it on an iPad now not seeing what I think you mean. Can you attach an image?

    Of course I'm on 7.1.2 or something like that. Not upgrading until you solve it.

      Hi Al,
      I wish I could get v7 back! The screen swipe is choppy and some of my apps (I admit - games) don't work any more (I paid for them!!). As far as I can see neither 8 nor 8.1 improved a thing. I still can't watch the Alpha videos unless they are on YouTube. I went to Apple to see if there were any downloads that might help and was told my Safari version was no longer supported and I could not even download the fix for that either!

      And people think MS has problems... can't send a screenshot from the iPad, but they look like little 'home' icons. I suppose this is also why I have my doubts about moving anything to an Apple device.

            All looks good no funny buttons anywhere. 8.0.2 is what Apple installed two weeks ago now they say 8.1 is ready not sure I am though! Mine is an iPad Air about a year old.
