Maybe it’s because of iOS/iPadOS 16, but lately it’s been sometimes impossible to complete a topic response on my iPad (Safari). Either the button to post a comment won’t do anything, or the emoticon I want to insert is hidden off-screen even if I turn it landscape to try to give it more room (see screenshot), or something else goes funky with the editor. It’s a mess. Also, after reading a topic or two the text size for the whole forum drops in size by almost half. Refresh or changing from mobile to desktop view often does nothing, but sometimes temporarily fixes it.
Interesting. I’ve been having problems on iPad selecting text for a “quote” to begin a reply. The “quote/edit” dialog (?) appears, but the instant I start trying to drag the selection to add more text, it tries to select the whole page and I lose it.
I’ve had problems with the mobile formatting of the site for at least a couple of weeks, but I just figured it was user error and switched to Chrome on the iPhone. It doesn’t impact iPadOS 16 on my M1 iPP11.
Sorry, I only just started noticing it in the past few days after receiving my iPP 12.9 since in the past month I’ve pretty much only used my Duo when websurfing.
Fair enough. I guess the next question is whether @Hifihedgehog can think of any changes that have been made in the past few weeks that could lead to issues with the editor.

Thanks, guys, for all the helpful analysis and investigation! If you see no activity on this, I’ve got a solidly booked week so I’ll need to table this for next week. I’ve read all your comments though and I will dissect and get to the bottom of this mystery.

I tried the most basic troubleshooting step and updated the server. Let me know, especially @Dellaster and @Bishop, if these problems are still happening.
Well, I can’t force some of them to appear, but they tend to be random. The emoticons selection being mostly offscreen, especially in portrait, remains. Usually to the right (see screenshot from a minute ago) but sometimes cut off by the bottom of my screen. In neither case can I get it to move once it’s like that. The editing window jumps around in size and often is too tall, with the top editing area scrolled up out of view.
Thanks for looking into it. As you can see, it is possible for me to post using iPP + Safari. It’s mostly just annoying. No hurry.
Here’s the thing with resizing text. It got tiny and then after a page refresh it went back to regular size. Refresh doesn’t always work. This is not exclusively a problem with this forum but it happens more often here than anywhere else. It might just be a Safari bug that’ll get fixed next update.
@Hifihedgehog : the quote bug is back on safari, but it works with Edge running on iPM6.

The weird part is I can’t reproduce it on my iPhone. I am sure you have a problem but I am at a loss as to what is causing it. Are you on the latest iOS release?
