to suggest you CAN do links on a tablet/ipad?

[BrunellaPommelhorse]

you just highlight the address by holding down your finder. select copy

then hold down finger on area you are pasting it to, until it pastes, and... er paste

It's easy enough to do a web link but I did have one older browser on my iPad that didn't show the address bar. I can do it on my android phone but it can be a pita to open the page you want to link to, copy link, then navigate back to the page you want to post link on. If I'm not connected to wifi it can be painfully slow.

Yay! Thank you!

You can also copy the address from the messages and paste into the web browser.
It works both ways. :o

[Kungfutea]

I didn't know that! Thank you :)

It's piss easy if you've got a handy 12yo to show you how.

Fecking impossible if you're 42 and have been dragged up with a zx 81. these things don't come with instruction manuals like in the good ol' days, and you are just supposed to 'know'.

Intuitive my arse.

[BitBewildered]

It is fine on an iPhone on the mobile site. I haven't used the app for ages.

[HorryIsUpduffed]

Yanbu, although it is more fiddly on the app than on the mobile site.

[TheDetective]

Piece of piss to do it on the iPhone.

YANBU.

[thegreylady]

I can do it on a tablet by copying the address.I've never tried on a phone.

[trixymalixy]

YANBU, I don't think it's particularly hard to do links on either an iPhone or an iPad.

[ceeveebee]

I find it hard to copy the address on an iPhone, so I click the arrow at the bottom and click "mail" which then copies the address to a draft email, and I copy it from there

[Picturesinthefirelight]

I find it incredibly difficult on my iPhone it depends on the webfite and how the link is.

[BigBoobiedBertha]

YANBU. They are very easy on a tablet and even on a phone (despite me needing glasses to see properly on the phone so a bit more of a faff).

This isn't a technical tip, it's a moan about people who can't be bothered to work out how to do links and use their choice of device as an excuse. Ideal AIBU fodder if you ask me.

[Trills]

It' not about high traffic. t's about whether answering "YABU" or "YANBU" makes any sense. And here it does.

[Dereksmalls]

Oh, I just assumed when people said that they must have diffent brands of phone to me ie not an iPhone. I do links all the time.

[ElphabaTheGreenAndBlacks]

YANBU. I've always been mystified by posters who say, 'I'm on my phone so I can't do links right now...' Eh?

And AIBU is one of the highest traffic areas, you YANBU to post such an utterly reasonable piece of advice here where there is the highest chance of the technologically crippled challenged seeing it!

[BrunellaPommelhorse]

We no. Ill fecking post it where I like.

As you were.

[Fakebook]

I received an iPad mini yesterday as a gift and its easier to do links on this than my iPhone. Less fiddly.

[stressyBessy22]

Could I respectfully remind you that there are about a hundred different forums on MN.Why not take a few seconds to look for an appropriate one instead of just prefixing technical tip with AIBU.

[TapselteerieO]

It is easy to do a link, I wouldn't post if I couldn't be bothered to do a link. I don't tend to look up a web address where a poster hasn't made them into a link. Here is a YouTube guide. I haven't watched it, because I know it is easy to post a link on my ipad/iPhone.

YaNbu

[dearcathyandclare]

Thanks Maddening, by jove I think I've got it!

[Trills]

YANBU to suggest that one can do links on a tablet or phone

YABU to suggest that you can do it, because the "you" who is being addressed might actually be a bit crap unable to do them because they are a bit crap of some reason.

[carben]

Yeah !
