I've noticed that some random times specifically when i go to edit a post for some reason the banner at the top(that includes the "advanced" and "send" buttons is suddenly too wide. The send button gets cut off the screen. Its usable as i can barely touch it on the edge to send an edi but jsut thought i'd let you guys know.
 
I've noticed it being difficult to even "Post Quick Reply" because of the height, not width. You get an extremely slim area to read what you have written sometimes resulting in grammar mistakes.
Overall, GTplanet works great on my Iphone.
 
I've noticed that happening as well sometimes, I just change the app I portrait mode, then back into Landscape and it's fine 👍
 
If you guys could take a screenshot of the problem and can describe exactly how to reliably re-create it, that would be very helpful. To take a screenshot in iOS, hold the Home and Sleep buttons down on the device at the same time. The image will then be saved to your camera roll, and you can upload it using the Photobucket app, emailing it to your PC, etc.

This is what i get occasionally(only in edit mode). Send button is cut off on the top right. I usually get it in Portrait mode. First time i've used the gtplanet in landscape because iPhone keyboard is annoying me for being to small.

Its not a big deal. It happens every now and then. Just thought you might want to know.
As for recreating...It only happens when I go to "edit" a post. Never when im making a new post. Only when I go to edit. Not sure how it can be reliably recreated.

I have somewhat of a similar problem - though I have a strong feeling that I'm missing something. I don't use the GTPlanet app, though, since I'm so used to Safari. The only snag I hit in Safari is when I have to edit a longer post - I can't seem to move my cursor beyond the type within the box - so I'm unable to scroll up or down to where I have to correct the typo or info.
Totally agree that the iPhone keypad is minute; one needs matchsticks for fingers. Still - the technology is advancing; we may not need fingers anymore: "Find me a washroom, Siri!"
I rarely use my phone to post. However, yanking a computer away from the addicts around my home or office is difficult - so I have to grab it when I can, especially when I need to do some 'serious' posting (photos, gifs, a long discussion, etc.)
Once again, Jordan, thanks for the sleep/home/screenshot tip. Another lifesaver! Learn something new every day - at GTPlanet of course.
 
I have noticed many other problems problems on this app. I'll take screenshots for those the next time I see them.
 
I noticed when choosing image or web link the OK and Cancel buttons are inside the URL box halfway. So I accidentally click one of those. And app crashing in tune threads with a lot of stuff in the OP when clicking 1st page. Didn't feel like making another thread, but haven't heard this before.
 
Thanks for the screenshot, Blaze. 👍

Click to expand...
You can move around within a "text box" like that in iOS by touching that area of the screen with two fingers, then scrolling up and down.
 
Hi, Jordan -
There you go - I knew it was me and not the app. Much obliged.
I also like the new heading of this sub-forum. More apt, and explicit enough to redirect people who are looking for other kinds of 'Help!'.

Cheers!
Harry.
