Weird issue with typing outside of posting rectangle!

8 replies

Does anyone else have this issue please?

I have recently re-registered with different email through a different search engine because Mumsnet was freezing and slowing everything down on my iPhone.

But now I am having the wierd issue that, when I type an answer out, beyond a certain number of lines, the blue line at the base of the posting area, with “Active” , “Watching” , “My feed” etc, gets in the way of where I am typing if that makes sense, so you have to keep pushing the posting box up, but even then, I am having to type without seeing the words appear on the screen. Then I stop typing and roll the screen up to see it!

Really strange! Is this designed to keep posts short? Or am I doing something stupid?

Thanks for any info!

Btw, I meant to say that I don’t like the formatting on the app so prefer to stick to the traditional layout,

Thanks.

Hi @Forthethirdyearinarow87

We're sorry to hear that you're having format issues when you try to post. Can we just double check - you're on iPhone, using the mobile site, and which browser?

If you can possibly post a screenshot (or send it to us at [email protected]) that would be helpful too.

Thank you very much JoMumsnet

I feel rather stupid now bc I didn’t know there was a site for mobiles! 🙈

I managed to re-register and log back in without specifying!

So sorry! That’s obviously the issue!

How do I access it please? (I don’t really like the layout on the app.). Is it the same thing?
Sorry to be so technically challenged!
