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?

Happens on my phone, too. I suspect it’s the browser and FR’s formatting that are not synched.

I heard United Airlines won’t allow reading of unapproved blogs on their airlines. ;-)

I’ve been having major problems on writing any posts longer than a sentence or two on my Android. The input box covers up the post button.

Good for them in fighting blog theft of content.
Rotten bloggers, always stealing.

Space 'em, out the airlock.

I have that problem sometimes — but not always — on my Android. Usually, I can fix it by going back and forth between “landscape” and “portrait” views. (Don’t know what the correct names of the views are, but I am sure you understand what I mean.) Sometimes, it takes a few rotations before it straightens out.

You can make the font bigger in the FR site on iPads just by spreading fingers. That is fine. But how to see the whole box, like I used to be able to.

It started messing up BEFORE the update. I hoped the update would help. Nope.

What setting controls this?
I don’t know what just to call it.

It’s like the keyboard is suddenly impeding the ability to scroll the screen with your fingers.

Yep, I get the same thing. Sometimes it resets if I rotate it.

When that happens to me in Android, I press again in the reply window to ensure that it has focus. Then it sizes properly.

BTW, did you know you can drag the lower right corner of the FR Reply window to resize it?

I think it might be working fine on Chrome. Why would it stop on safari, I wonder?

Omygosh, your technique worked!!!!! Good, all my stuff is in safari and I use chrome for something else. The wraparound toggle trick would save my butt for easy freeping access.

Thank you.
