Posting from a smartphone?

hexalobular · 06-24-2012, 02:40 PM

Hi,

I have just gotten my first "smartphone", Samsung Galaxy Mini, and haven't been able to post to the forums with it, I get the box to type the post into, but the Phone/OS/Browser doesn't seem to recognize that input is needed so the onscreen "keyboard" is nowhere to be seen and I can't enter anything.

Does anybody know something I don't, like how to force the "keyboard" onscreen?

Or is my phone just not compatible with the new post page? I have no problems reading (though the screen _is_ a bit small).

I used to have this problem on the iPhone (a recent update fixed this) , you need to change the input type to HTML source then just type text as normal , you won't be able to bold etc unless you know the codes , but it works.

Is that the "HTML" icon at the top of the message window?

I tried tapping that and I got the "HTML source editor" window, but still nothing to type on.
