Title: Problems with typing posts ?
Post by: Norbreck21a on August 04, 2010, 08:08:22 am
Is it just me or what ?

When I type a post, and it's fairly long (i.e. extends beyond the bottom of the standard edit box, suddenly, the text will no longer display. I can type a new line (and it does indeed add it to the reply), but I can't see it, as it extends beyond the bottom of the text box, and for some reason the unit keeps flcking back to the top of the screen. I have to keep on using the scroll slider on the side to see what I have typed, but as soon as I type one more character, if scrolls up to the top again ?

I've tried it on my works PC, home PC and my notebook and they all act the same.

Is it just me, or does anyone esle have the same issues ?

I've had this issue every since I've joined this forum. Its very frustrating. I believe the issue was raised once in the past but didn't come to a resolution in the end.
With a long reply i sometimes have to resort to writing a response in Word and then copying it across!
Saying that, ive not seen it happen when using safari in my iPad......

Phew... at least it's not just me then  :laugh:

Good idea Ifti about composing the reply outside of the forum and copy and pasting in. Will give that a try next time.

I've only ever had that issue on my iPhone 3GS, ever since I upgraded it to iOS4.
