Has anyone else been experiencing this? Frequently in recent days / weeks, when I go to reply to a thread, the reply form loads but I cannot tap into it to load my cursor and start typing. It’s like tapping onto a brick wall. Nothing. Crickets. I’ve had to reload or reattempt or refresh, and just now in the Trivia Dominoes I tried at least 5x before the reply form went live. ---

I think I know what you are referencing. There is typically a little icon on the bottom of the screen that looks like a keyboard. Clicking on that helps. ---

I’ll look for that. Thanks.
