Something has changed when posting with Safari on an iPhone. The Reply button keeps auto-scrolling out of view. If I’m quick with the finger, I can click it before it’s gone. This is a new problem. I can’t find where in my profile my theme is chosen, so I’m not sure. ---

Testing… It’s fine on my iPhone right now. This has been a problem intermittently for me for months now, but when it happens I can just completely kill Safari and start a new session, and it fixes it. What I absolutely can’t do anymore though is report a post from my phone. It’s now impossible. This isn’t intermittent either. I’m going to see if I can get a screenshot and share what that looks like. ETA: Well crap, now **that’s** working fine. As recently as yesterday it wasn’t working, and it hasn’t for a while. I’d pick “something else” and then couldn’t see what I was typing. But now it’s fine. Weird. Never mind. ---

And it’s working fine for me at the moment as well. Or, not. I can now click the Reply button, but it doesn’t actually do anything. I’ll keep clicking until this posts. Edit: I had to reload the page to get it to post. This site’s code is definitely causing occasional problems for Safari on iPhone. ---

I’m on an iPhone using Safari, and mine works fine. I am able to reply, reply with quote, and report a post. FYI. ---

Since Discourse saves the contents of our Reply window, I’ve closed the tab on which I’m reading the SDMB and then re-opened a new tab and re-entered the SDMB. Navigated back to the thread I was posting to, and the problem went away for the nonce.
