Is the new Mylot making you type short discussions?

The short ones seems bit larger than usual from the old site, because the text size is a bit larger here than the other. It just gives the reader (or is it just me?) a feeling that the short discussions are also large. Maybe its for me as I am using it from a phone. Really it doesnt matter if it does convey the idea clearly. For me, Ive got this problem with typing the contents of the discussion in my phone (which I already have it reported to @mylotbugs) that I cant see the text as I type inside the discussion content box if I type a long discussion. Because it gets covered by the keyboard app in the screen. Which makes it difficult for me to see that if I have made any mistake while typing. I have posted a screenshot to make it clear. In that pic actually the cursor is behind the keyboard! Even if I made a mistake, I cant just do the backspacing so as to clear it as I cant see the position of the curser while I type it and backspace it. So the texts are getting over deleted or under deleted. I hope they fix thos bug as soon as possible. Anyone have similar problems with phones?

I have an iPhone, and I haven't had any problems with the new site at all. It workse great on my iPhone, but yes you are right, the lettering is very small, but I like the fact, I don't have to zoom in and out like I did with the other sites. I like the fact now, that I have options to post in here as there might be times I won't be at home, so I wan to be able to post in here from my phone, and now I will be able to. While I am home, I use my lap top.

@aju007 Not yet, but I have done responses and comments on it, and I had no problems at all. I am assuming that I won't have problems doing discussions with it either. I do like the new site that is for sure.

@aju007 Oh! I hope you are able to get it repaired soon so that you can use it as it is so much easier than using the phone.

I use my NetBook on this site, so of course I don't encounter the problems you would encounter, but I do have a question, if I may? Your laptop's keyboard is not currently working, right?

be sure to report what it is doing, so adjustments can be made, I only had that problem if I tried to use my cell the long way and not upright like your photo, so it could be that it's some cell's issues and not others. Honestly, I still found posting a bit tedious on the cell, but least now I can work on notifications on the go!

I can see this would be a problem but I don't use a phone so can't comment further.

I have tried to post via my phone and iPad but I stopped due to it being annoying. When I tried, the box to type in kept moving around and was hard to type what I wanted. Like the box would move to the right, so I'd scroll down and try moving the screen to the right but the box would disappear again so I gave up. I prefer the laptop to use MyLot.

@VivaLaDani13 Tell me about it. I did post through my iPhone for sometime when desktop pc was being a turd. Now since I have laptop, it is easy unless its internet's turn to be a turd.

I am using a laptop always and so have not encountered such problem. But you can always report that bug to the admin.

I only use mostly my desktop and did use my tablet a little bit, but the screen is bigger than a phone, so not so much of a problem. Another member shared this already also, so hopefully they'll work out something to fix this for you and anyone else.

I type on my home computer, so I haven't found any real issues. Nor do I type longer or shorter posts. At least I don't think so.
