That cannot be true. I went back to the iPad 3 and realized that I did not install Opera. It will not install on older iPads. So you are not testing this on an old iPad.
My question is simple. Does Jomsocial intend to support older versions of the iPad? If it does then this is a bug. On older version, the the play icon does not show on the video and there is not active link. You need an iPad 2 or iPad3 to see this.
If there is no intention of supporting them, then just say so and I will look for another solution.
