Problem posting on an iPad.

[blueST]

When composing a post on my iPad I don't seem to be able to scroll within the text box field. No problem for short messages like this, but a pain if there is a lot of text, such as when quoting. If I try to scroll, it just moves the entire page.

Is this on the mobile site or the main site?

I don't think it goes to the mobile site, though you probably have a better idea than me.

Is the iPad like an iPhone in this regard? Are you doing the two fingered scroll?

Ah, two fingered scrolling you say?

I neve knew such a thing existed! We are talking the main site by the way, not mobile, not that it matters now.

Now, about the HTC Desire....

Is a two finger scroll literally using two fingers side by side to move the page - does it then move the "internal" box rather than the page?

Thanks - I've learned something there!

What do you need to know?

How to scroll in the text box, the two fingered thing doesn't work.

Mobile site or main site? On the main site you can just drag it wherever you want (one fingered) or alternatively you can tap inside and then scroll using the touchpad.

The mobile site, I haven't tried the main one.

ETA Just tried the mobile site and you can tap and drag

Exactly the same on the mobile site, just drag it and it'll move.

But you might find the main site better on the Desire, especially as you'll have your mod tools.

I've not had much of a try but it's a bit too fiddly and the mobile site works so well.

You have to keep your finger on the screen until the magnifying glass appears. Move your finger to the left side of the text box and go up slightly. That's all there is to it
