[NSC] Anyone else having an issue with mobile phone keyboard disappearing while posting on NSC

[AstroSloth]

Last few days I've had an issue of the keyboard randomly disappearing whilst typing (perhaps due to ads?) so I then click on an ad or something else and lose all my typing.

It's making the site a lot more annoying to use.

Totally this. Been doing it for about a month now. Thought it was my keyboard app

Yes, happens a lot. Though it was just my phone playing up!

All the time on Apple iPhone too if helps solidarity

 

[Rdodge30]

Yes on iPhone

 

[Nobby Cybergoat]

Wow, this is annoying. Give up posting on my phone

 

[US Seagull]

Yes. And I'm about 95% sure it's due to ads that pop up over the page.

Sometimes I get 2 ads at once. I'm pretty sure that breaks it.

Yes, it seems like the Ad at the bottom of the page creeps up whilst you're typing.
So annoying

@Bozza not sure if you have any idea what could have changed to cause it as it's incredibly frustrating.

(Only the 5 adverts forced to click on in writing out three sentences - NSC is now the most annoying user experience of anything I go on, up there with regional newspaper websites)

From another thread, another victim of the ads

One way to get round it is to first type your post in your Notes app and then copy and paste it.

Yeah. Me

Me too. Whole posts just vanish, and I can’t be bothered to type it all over again. Then sometimes you go back to the same thread a day or so later, and your lost post miraculously reappears in the draft box. The thing with ads jumping up is a new variation too.

All this. Spend more time editing than contributing now. Takes a while for typing to catch up too.

iPhone.

Mods - thread title needs changing so it’s not just an Android issue nor just disappearing keyboard . Suggest “Bozza - please fix this mess ”

Changed title to clarify that the comments are NSC-related.

Same here. It has dramatically reduced the amount of time I'm spending on site as I mostly visit from my phone.

Suspect this could be inadvertently creating a public list of NSC non-Patreon users.

I bet the NSCers who pay don't suffer the blight of interrupted posting.

It's discrimination, of a sort ...

 

[Greg Bobkin]

Yep, happens all the time on my Omsung Phine.

That’ll be it, for sure. A devilish plot to drive up revenue. That, despite Bozza saying countless times that the core functionality of NSC should be available to all, with a few bells and whistles accruing to those who contribute to the running costs.

Alternatively, something’s happened to the way the ad code works that Bozza hasn’t yet spotted/fixed.

I’m going with the latter.

And I thought it was just me. I actually purchased a new phone because I couldn't write any text on NSC, true.
Sounds silly, but I blamed this Hormone Therapy I'm undergoing at one stage.
