How Do You Copy Content From Another Website to Post Here on the Forum, Using an IPadAir?

I have had my iPad for several years now, and hardly even touch the computer unless it is one of the very few things that the iPad can't do.
I also have a keyboard case for it, which makes it a lot easier to use when you are doing much typing, like on a forum.

Pretty much everything is a lot easier on the ipad, too.
The copy and paste is simple, as they were explaining it to you.
You just touch the web address at the top of the page with your finger to highlight it (just like you do on the computer when using the mouse instead of your finger). A little bracket will show up with choices of copy or cut. choose copy.

Then close that window, and go to the forum page where you want to paste , write the post, and then touch the screen and the brackets will open up again, and this time give you a choice of paste. Choose that, and the link will be pasted at the bottom below your post.

If you mostly use the iPad for reading things, then the external keyboard is not necessary; but when you are writing posts or even emails, then having the external keyboard is much easier.
I also have a lapdesk and I can set up the iPad right on that, just like you would do with a laptop, only smaller and easier.
Not only that; but if I were to travel to Idaho to visit my family, the iPad is so light and easy to pack along, and with LTE, it works anywhere I am at.

I am SO spoiled with my iPad that I would hate to have to go back to sitting at a desk and using an old-fashioned computer again ! !
(I have even been working on getting Ina spoiled , too. She is now adept at using her iPad and external keyboard, has her lapdesk so she can be comfy in her chair, and I am pretty sure she does not want to go back to using a desktop either. )
 

wow, I've been wondreing about this. I don't have an ipad, but have another brand of tablet. This should would work for mine, too. But what about images?

What I do with the iPad is to touch the image and hold my finger just for a second, and then a box comes up and asks if i want to save, and I choose that. This puts the picture into my photostream. To post the picture after that, you just do the same as you would to post any other picture from your photos.
If an online photo is copyrighted (or whatever they do), then sometimes, it will not let you copy or download it. In that case, about the only thing that you can do is copy the link for the whole page and use that to show someone the picture.
 
Legally, copy and pasting material from another website or material that is not your own without the writer's written permission is copyright infringement. Most people who design websites, such as myself take this very seriously as it also hurts one's ranking in the search engines. Put yourself in the place of someone who has worked on a site for 10 plus years, spent hundreds of dollars on research materials and hundreds of hours interpreting the information, rewriting, then coding it for the internet and then you find 50%+ of your website posted on another's with no recognition.

This happened to me. I asked them politely to take it down and the woman kept blocking me so finally I went to their webhost who shut them down because I had the proof that it was my work. I now have an Official copyright number placed right on the front of my site. It may not deter all, but I've never seen such abuse of my work since then.

If you want to see the "back side" of a web page, click on View, View Source and look at the coding involved to do a single web page . . . it takes hours to do if one hand codes which I do.
