Vanity: Recently I cannot see the whole FR Posting Box when posting. On iPad.
My iPad ^ | 04/16/17 | Me

Posted on 04/16/2017 2:12:09 PM PDT by Yaelle

Yes, I am logged in. Normally on iPad I can finger scroll up the writing box to see what I am writing as I write it. Now, for the past two days I cannot see what I am writing.

I don't believe this is an FR issue, as it is happening on text conversations with otherse. As with Free Republic, I have to click the button to lower the keyboardscreeni order to see what I am writing.

Editing is impossible.

Anyone have any help?

Maybe you know what is going on? Or your ping list? iPad help.

Russians and United Airlines are causing this to happen all over the world, to get certain stories out of the news.

I am wondering why the ‘popular keywords’ thing was removed.

I do not want to sit at a desk! I only want my iPad which I can take where I am. This is a new problem so I bet other FReepers on iPads know what is wrong, and maybe some have even solved it.

Those losers. I can read anything, so there, das vedanya. Lol. My futile postings weren’t going to change the world anyway... but I have a big mouth so I like to contribute.

I don’t have an iPad, but do they have any sort of ‘zoom’ feature, like laptops? Where you can change the size of the font or display?

They should, for those with poor vision and typing skills.

Just pondering;)

Load different browsers on the iPad. I have Chrome and Firefox in addition to the Safari. Each has its strengths. And if something isn’t working on one browser, it nearly always is fine on another one.

Recheck your settings...

Maybe do a google search for Ipad screen resolution after update. Let us know what fixes it.

I’ve had this problem with Android 5 for a long time.

The workaround is easy: Toggle the Word Wrap button off then on again.

I think it is a JavaScript bug.

I had the same problem on FB. Then it fixed itself. Have no clue what I did or did not do. Was a mess. Good luck.

You do know that strategically laid chemtrails cut off your posts from most of the world?

It is an issue with FR. I have seen it across all platforms.

I have the latest software, too, but not that problem -- on Chrome, anyway. Just checked and Safari works, too.

It's annoying, but just pinch down the page till everything fits. There's some obscure setting somewhere.

I’m on my iPad typing this, no problems. Scrolls for me. If you rotate the iPad to portrait mode, this gives more viewing space. However, that won’t solve your issue.
