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

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 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?

@aju007 Have you tried turning on the on-screen keyboard and using it to type with?

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.

Um, don't you have a scroll option? What if you typed a long text to someone?

No problem with responding and commenting. This problem happens only when I type a discussion.
And I cant scroll the page when I am typing a discussion! Probably because the discussion typing box is a window that is overlayed over a page.
While typing the responses the box where we type it seems to get large according to the length of the content.
But this is not happening with the discussions.

@aju007 Have you noted this problem you're having on mylotbugs discussion about the new site? If not, you may want to do so. Also let them know which phone you're using and which browser.
Anybody who has pulled up myLot on their phone or tablet knows that things looked pretty rough. We've been working on fixing this for awhile and are finally...

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!

@aju007 I decided to mainly use my mobile lotting time on responses, since that's just easier too

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.
