Just an FYI, the Embed Local Media modal window does not populate at all/doesn't expand to content when using the TinyMCE editor in Chrome on iPad. Works fine in Safari.

Updated to clarify slightly.

Chrome on iPad? What type of monstrosity is that? :)

Have never used Chrome for iPad (and am scared to install it) but will check it out - it should be using Safari under the hood, so I can't see why it would be different.

Monstrosity...lol... Hmm, I use Chrome on my ipad almost exclusively (feelin the love!), and I bet hundreds of my network members do too. Synchs everything, plus my calendar, between all 4 platforms on my ipad, my Macbook, my Android phone, and my PC desktop. I know many folks prefer other browsers, but hey Chrome is pretty broadly used. ;)

What is this iPad perversion you speak of? I cannot imagine the horrors to be defended against. Where should we iWatch next?

Monstrosity, indeed! :) I'm no fan of the evil empire, but as I do a lot of Jamroom fiddling on the train to/from London, it generally works much better with JR ACP than Safari.

That said, I'm logged on to my JR site in Safari as a 'normal' user, and in Chrome as an Admin. Flipping between them helps me check the experience for the 'normal' quota.....in the early days, I was forever setting things up as an Admin, and forgetting to check they worked properly for the citizens!

EDIT: While I'm at it with iPad, if you carry out any image editing on it (either in Photos or a 3rd party app, it applies a .jpeg extension), which I can't upload to Jamroom. I was just about to upload a cropped screenshot of my visitor browser stats from Google Analytics, but can't... :(

Sorry - my response was tongue in cheek - I know a lot of people (unfortunately) use Chrome. As a developer I view Chrome as the new "Internet Explorer 6". People use Chrome because they feel it is fast (and it is), but that speed comes at the expense over very, very aggressive caching that causes issues for site developers.

iOS however does NOT allow different browser rendering engines, so Chrome is actually Safari under the hood, but just has it's own interface, so it SHOULD work. When I get a chance I can check it out, but Chrome on iOS is certainly going to be the minority of users.
