One of my users has a problem uploading photos. He sent me a screen capture to confirm the following, on his Ipad and  Macbook there is no Photo Upload icon. It has the Image Insert icon that asks for a web address, but the one that is typically to the right with the little blue arrow on it, is not present. Can I do anything to configure or is this just the way it is?

Apple heavily restrict what can be done on their devices, while you can use devices like Andriod to upload images Apple devices are a different matter.

I'll be honest this would be a big area to work on if possible - we're getting 50% of traffic from mobile now and being able to upload properly from these devices would be great.

It can't be an apple thing - I can upload to Facebook, Twitter, Google etc. fine from apple devices.

Are you using Apps to upload to Facebook, Twitter and Google? If so there is your answer.

In my case, a user on a Macbook computer can not upload a photo to the forums while PC users can.

Apps do work great but it also works great from the web version.

See attached picture - it seems to integrate much better with ios photos;

You can upload images in Windows, MacBook, Andriod, etc. only IOS users are not presently able to due to Apple not supporting Rich Text Editing in web browsers on IOS.

There are no plans to build a dedicated app for Apple IOS devices as the expense of building such an app would be to expensive.

I the last 5 years we have seen people move from Forums to other forms of social media like Facebook. This has had a dramatic affect on sales of Web Wiz Forums and now sell less licenses in 1 year than we use to sell in a single day even through the price is now only £39.95 compared with £139.95 5 years ago.

This means we no-longer have full time development working on Web Wiz Forums to be able to build new features and are considering other choices like making it free and inviting community members to build their own additional features if they wish to see new developments in the software.
