Hi krobbins426
I'm not sure why you are having these issues on your iPad. We use an iPad too and the Bookmarks and Recipe ratings issues you mention as problems work fine for us. Is it possible that you weren't logged in? If you weren't then you wouldn't see Bookmarks, you can't rate recipes and you can't post on the Forum. You can always tell if you are logged in as your username is at the top right of the screen.
There does seem to be an iPad glitch on the text box for posting on the Forum so we will get that fixed.
