I send it back!!

Every time I try and post a reply the keyboard in landscape mode takes up 5/6 of the screen and where I'm typing goes of the screen so I can't see what I'm typing

I've tried different web browsers firefox and dolphin but both are crap!!

Is there something i can do? I tried portrait mode but it's not much better and I prefer landscape!!!

I have already asked on here but no one got back to me..

If you know please respond

Thanks

Same thing happens on my Android phone (well, keyboard covers 2/3s...), I just minimize the keyboard to check what I've written...

Yeah the iPhone also has a few issues with DS. It works fine as long as you don't write to much as scrolling up and down isn't easy.

Well the only fix is use a device with a bigger screen. It's pretty much the same with any iOS or Android phone, when the keyboard pops up, it takes up room. That said, I use my phones in portrait and I don't find it impossible to post. It's less convenient than a full computer, but still do-able if you've got something to say.

If you're expecting to do a lot of posting via a mobile device, maybe you'd be better with a tablet than a phone.

It would be even better if DS added Tapatalk support to the forums. Then you could just use the app to post
