I don't know I this a problem with iOS or dakka but I keep getting this problem where when I use the quote function it cuts of the end. Well more accurately it places my cursor in the middle of the body of text and I can't scroll down to move it. It's almost as if the Post Reply box is "full".
So if I were to actually just quote and post, my text would appear in the middle of their quote and the rest of their quote is unavailable. Any help on this would be appreciated. Thanks.

This hasn't happened to Iphones I've used before, and my android doesn't do that either.

What iPhone were you using?

It is an issue with iOS. And you can move the cursor down, you just have to hold down your finger right at the edge of the quote box, and then it will scroll down (very) slowly...I do this all the time when posting with my iPhone or iPad.

And no, there's no simple way to get around this. It is an issue with iOS that doesn't have an easy solution because there is no up/down arrow equivalent on the iphone/ipad keyboard yet.

Yeah, I guess they haven't in enter the scroll bar yet. I'll try that next time it happens. Thanks.

Newest iOS update seems to have fixed this Yakface! I can now scroll faster than 1 mm per hour.
Now if only legoburner could make my battery last longer...
