Given that I have not accessed every website that exists in the world, it’s not terribly surprising that some people have had some problems in some other places.

"It's only STW that's affected!"

"No it isn't, look."

"Well, obviously it isn't only STW that's affected!"

How many other forums and websites do folk use besides STW that involves significant amounts of typing?  I'll wager for most people it's barely a handful.  I think I use STW, Facebook and Twitter interactively, struggling offhand to think of any more that I use regularly.  Asserting that it's "only" STW when you've got a sample pool of six websites is just confirmation bias.

Sigh. Given that I have not accessed every website that exists in the world, it’s not terribly surprising that some people have had some problems in some other places. The fact remains that my bog standard Moto G5 has problems on one single site, and no problems on many, many others. From the comments here, I’m not alone with this observation.

Which is exactly my point. There’s not just you claiming "it's just STW" despite it pointed it's not strictly an error with STW.

What I actually said was:

"My phone doesn’t have this problem on any other site."

Still, well done to you and Cougar for passing your exams at the Mark Alker school of customer contempt.

The one that gets me is after typing a post, quoting people and nicely using the remove formatting button and being really careful, using the preview to check, I hit Submit...

and it logs me out and the post has gone!

Still though, STW is a quirky forum place. It's unlike any other forum on the Internet, even in its old form. It's got an odd charm, if frustrating.

Simple thing that would be nice though is ability to switch to plain text mode, and maybe we can put formatting markup in manually etc. You know, like the vast majority of forums, e.g. BBCode.

That and a 'Quote' button 😉

The problem there is that “stock” Android ain’t all that stock.

Yet it works perfectly absolutely everywhere else.

Is what you posted.

I was referring to my own phone, which was perfectly clear from my first post, something you are ignoring, I assume deliberately.

It is a pity that you are continuing to misrepresent me. It's almost as though the arguments you are putting forward are too weak to stand on their own merits.

My apologies it wasn't that clear to me and I was addressing all who mentioned it only happens on STW.
