    i am starting to wonder: are all the posts really showing up? i have so many in favorites, and for the last few days, only a few new posts have been added to any of them. Are the boards really that quiet? these are forums that are normally very active. thanks, just curious.

    Mods:  we have a new member who brought up my favorite problem again on the "older" forum.  Here's my message to her.  PLEASE can we get the tech team to fix this glitch?

    Crone: You used to be able to his "preview" and then your message was
    saved when you went go back & forth. The preview works only to edit
    your post now and if you try to go back it says the page is not
    available. Mods have been working on it since the last upgrade w/no
    luck.

    Hi mods. Something weird is happening with my posts.  Every time I type something,  it's there, but when I hit submit the last word is left off and I have to edit. It also seems to be adding spaces where I'm not putting any. I'm sure it's probably my crappy equipment, but on the off-chance, are you aware of anyone else having this problem with android?

    Hi leggo. Is this occurring only when posting from your mobile phone?

    Tablet actually.  Just checked phone and it's fine. Probably this POS tablet,  but I thought I'd check if you knew of any problems before I throw it out the window.

    This time I got the last word of the post, but it still added spaces.

    Oddly,  I just posted on another website and it was fine. Had to edit because it left off the last word again.

    Had to edit three times before it accepted the last word.

    Thanks. I'm going to give it a try later tonight with a different tablet,  then I'll know for sure.

    As of a few days ago, when it start to write a post, the cursor appears so far up in the text box that I can't see the first line I've written. I can manually move the cursor down but when the post is submitted, it looks as if I've skipped the first line. I am using an iPad.

    Ok mods. If I don't have to edit this when I hit submit, it's my tablet's problem. Now typing on hubby's iPad....so we'll see.

    hi Mods,

    Was going to post I had the same problem as exbrnxgrl on my iPad, but figured a way around it. It was also bothering me that the tool bar kept rolling down (for lack of a better description). However, wrote a really long PM and the rolling tool bar came in very handy. Thanks for the change.

    mods,

    I can find a way around it by hitting return, which moves the cursor down to the second line, but this is not a real fix. Not horribly inconvenient, but I liked it better before :)

    Mods - Just wanted to say thanks. It looks like the "preview" pane issue is fixed so you can go back to previous pages and add to a post before submitting.

    I'm having the same problem as exbrnxgrl also using an iPad, the other thing that has been happening is that I type and it seems to take ages for the typeface to appear

    I am having a lot of trouble posting comments on my iPad.  I type and then the last word freezes and looked like it is highlighted.  I am able to do nothing and the website is frozen.  I go to another program and then come back to BC.org and the entire posting is gone.  This happened twice yesterday and twice the day before (the only times I tried to post). I am on my windows computer now and have no problems posting.

    Thank you for your help.

    grammakathy, We are posting this from an iPad and there doesn't seem to be a problem at this end. There were problems posting yesterday but those issues were resolved. Can you try posting from your iPad today and letting us know if there are any challenges. Thanks. The Mods

    I'm keeping my fingers crossed as I type! So far so good. This is working on my iPad right now. Thank you! I had problems last at about 2am today
