Iphone/Ipad users - any issues?

Yep, I’m aware of this bug I’m afraid.

Nothing you click on a web page should cause a browser to crash as it does on Safari on iOS like this and that’s clearly a Safari problem. However, it’s likely something is wrong with the Javascript that runs on the site when you click that button. I’ve looked into it before and not found the problem, but I’ll redouble efforts to try to sort it.

That fish looks good Bosco.

By the way, in the meantime, know that the image insert button just puts in the URL surrounded by !

So if you type this:

!/system/1/user_files/files/000/023/248/23248/c03984e2b/large/78337-56769.jpg!

You get this:

It’s definitely a Safari bug, though I’ve put in a workaround and it no longer happens.

For anyone familiar with Javascript:

The command causing the crash was simply:

var url = prompt("Enter the full URL of the image", "http://");

which should cause a popup with “http://” as the default text. But in Safari, it crashes. If you do this:

var url = prompt("Enter the full URL of the image");

it works but without the default text.

Good. But the “insert link” button still has the same problem…

Ah ok, I’ll change that in the same way…

That one is changed too now. Let me know… Thanks.

Link button still crashes Safari.

Can you try clicking refresh on a thread, like this one, then trying the link button? Thanks.

Still crashes.

Insert image now works fine. Insert link doesn’t.

I have linked a lot of stuff with an iPad (iOS 8 using Safari) today and yesterday. No problem at all.
