    It has become much worse as last summer I was having No problems at all.
    I believe an update of the Priuschat software is incompatible with the IOS 8.1 iPad operating system for editing or file uploading functions. Rather frustrating as I am developing things for use on our 2012 that I would like to share with the community, and I just cannot do that without being able to upload pictures.

    Posting is ok from my iPhone5 with OS 8.1 now. But of late I'm no longer able to post pictures. Basically the upload a file button is completely unresponsive. I've resorted to emailing pics to an account accessible by my PC.

    test post with an ipad, not mini, not 8.~ os.

    that works ok

    Mendel--thanks for test. Apparently new versions of the IPad OS are not playing nicely with Priuschat. Unfortunately do not think I can return to the pre8.0 OS on this thing, partly for security reasons.
     
  4. Why are so many people putting extra links to Bizrate and Walmart in their posts?

    I know what an iPad is, I don't need a link to it.

    Why does the admin have these in place? If it's to make money from clicks/ads, find some other way. I do not want my posts contaminated with spam. Not to mention, it confuses the heck out of me when I read them since it makes it looks like the author wanted to put those links in.

    I think you have two choices with that:
    Live with it.
    Find a different place to discuss your Prius.
    OK, there's a 3rd choice too: Install the Ad Block plugin.
    I didn't even realize that AB eliminates that annoyance but apparenly it does because I'm not seeing it anymore.

    This came up a while ago and Danny agreed to mark the automatically inserted ad links so they didn't look like links posted by the author. On my PC the ad links have a bar across the top.

    I was forced to install ad block, maybe 6 months back. Otherwise the site froze for me.
     
  8. They're misleading. There was a thread on power windows, so I click on the link expecting a picture and instead it was an ad :unsure: Yes I see the line. I use Adblock Plus in Safari and the links are still there.

    Using Adblock Plus on IE, not seeing "ipad" overlined.

    HAHAHAHA......now this is funny in a perverse sort of way.

    I realized that even AB isn't perfect and some of the "manufactured links" still show up......including this one.
     
  11. Well it's still annoying. In my post here I had to change "night vision" to night-vision, get rid of "wheel covers" and "Walmart" to remove your spam.

    As I said before... lame

    And I think each time I see spam added to my posts, I'm just going to change one of the links to a picture of a cat.

    Examples: 1 - 2
