My son just downloaded the latest version Ios8 on my IPad now after Being shown how to put pictures on the forum ,creating two albums I tried to put new photos into the railcar album and all I keep getting is Error messages .So unless you really have to I don't recomend that you upgrade your IPad in case there IS a problem and it's not just me being thick.

Hi Bob,  my upgrade went OK, but then again, I don't use it to upload pictures to the forum. They tend to be too big. I use my laptop to resize them first.

Bit to late not seen anything on the news and we don't buy news papers I wish I could go back to the old version BUT YOU CANT a big  to APPLE
WARNING TO OTHER IPAD USERS DONT UPGRADE.

I've never been successful at up loading pics from my iPad either and thus use my Laptop.  Which is actually where I store the majority of my pics anyway..

An error 500 on the browser would be an issue with the website, not with the OS. So far I've not hit any issues on the forum with iOS 8 but it's possible something in the forum software is having problems because it doesn't know about the new browser version or it was just a case of a bad internet connection/server issue.

Always back up before an update (via iTunes to your Mac/PC ideally ) and with photos it's worth downloading and storing them on your computer too.

Bob. Both your albums appear to be there but there's a 'new photo' listed in the railcar album that appears to be broken as it won't view. Looks like it just failed to upload properly.

[Bob Tidbury]

Hi Zwilink my son has tried to help but still no joy .the pictures I tried to put in my album were of the finished painted and transferred  Railcar I will try again during the week my older son has an IPad  he also tried he will come over next weekend and have another try.
We have other problems as well with Emails on the Apple site but not Orange emails they are working fine.

Hi all,
It's fine on my phone, but IPad says it hasn't got enough space.  I've cleared out a load of photos and there's plenty of room now, but I don't think I'll bother with IOS8 until someone has something positive to say about it?

PS predictive texting on phone is much better.

This article gives an opinion on whether you should upgrade depending on your device.

I generally wait for a month or so before updating. If the update is buggy, then another update follows
