Easy to post from iPad. Create the image. Reduce size of image to be less than 2Mb in an editing app if necessary. Go to forum, create a new post. Save the post then immediately edit it and add a smaller than 2Mb image using the Choose File button and the image comes from My Photo Stream. Attachment: image.jpg (Downloaded 19 times)

Thanks JK, I realise about the posting bit I simply hadn't realised that a screenshot from an iPad could be well over 4Mb, especially when Eric's screenshot worked perfectly. I will stick to posting from a proper computer in future! LOL I don't see the point in learning a whole set of new tricks just for the sake of it. Especially given most of my images are on my main computer. I only used the iPad because I was trying to understand what Eric's original problem was. In my eyes the iPad is a neat solution, waiting for a problem I don't yet have.

I am using an iPad mini ...maybe that generates smaller size screen grabs? But back to my original issue....why is the Nikon forum icon the ONLY one that goes white /blank? I lost the N motif when the OS was updates to 9 this week, so I am guessing it's something to do with that...but why does it ONLY affect this forum link?

I use the Safari browser for my reading of the forum and have it as one of five continuously open tabs so I dont have to reload it. If I remember correctly Steve Saunders generated this icon for people to use. I cant remember how it was done. I think it is one of those things that breaks when new functionality is introduced or changed in iOS. This might help. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vsf0LDx4TK8 This says how to do it! http://www.cellcode.com/news/how-to-add-iphone-icon-to-your-website/

I think the answer will lie in System Integrity Protection = SIP aspect of the iOS. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_Integrity_Protection This is linked with iOS 9 development, the two OS's are gradually converging on a common path with something close to mirroring between the two OS's. Obviously they perform different functions in different environments but it appears Apple have the two OS's on converging paths, sandboxing and denying software access to core aspects of the OS. The recent discovery of the fake Xcode app building software in China may not be such a surprise for the Apple software engineers, my guess is they have seen this coming and are gradually trying to make both the OS's more secure in the longer term by making them more rigid and demanding greater compliance from websites and Apps. As for Eric's Icon I think it's just iOS ignoring something it doesn't recognise, i.e. doesn't comply, if Steve did create a fix, it was only a temporary one.

But it's strange that I can regenerate the icon and it sits on the desktop ok....until I click on it. Once I click on it, it seems to wipe the icon image. I've resaved page icons for other sites in same way ....when I click on them they remain! So it's something unique to this forum.

Just bookmark it and access the forum from there. It's a lot easier.

The bookmarks from my Mac computers are all available on the iDevices as well but I find the bookmarks messy to access compare with the desktop, an icon on the home screen is much easier. I like to arrive at the 'Recent Posts' page just to check if there have been any fresh posts since my last visit.

That's what I do Robert and agree it's easier to have a desktop link than going through bookmarks. I should just reiterate that the link works ok...it's just a white square. Not that it matters but I am just intrigued and mystified why it's the only icon that can't hold its image!
