Dear Kinja Tech:

As Kinja continues to be developed, you guys have made great strides in functionality and features. We appreciate it, I assure you. However, the mobile editor continues to be a hot mess, at least for me. I think the problems started with the enlarged editor you rolled out. Having more space on the desktop is great, but it seems to be causing real problems on mobile. Please see the video below. After hitting Reply, it's a real challenge to see the insertion point. A couple of tugs on the screen will finally get it to be at the top, but I often find myself typing with an invisible insertion point until the post is into its third line. Clicking the tools and tapping the field causes the IP to jump up again. More tugs are required to make the text visible. There are also continuing, sporadic instances of the first character not being capitalized, though it worked correctly here. Autocorrect is also problematic, but works for the most part. Thanks for your attention. (iPhone 5S, iOS 8.1.2)

With chrome on droid, putting a picture where you require mandates clicking where you want, scrolling up from there (with the keyboard open, otherwise it resets), clicking the "more" option on the menu... which then jumps back down to where your cursor is, so you then have to scroll up again, click "more" again, same process 2x more to get to the insertion tool, which itself must be scrolled up to. Not good.

Is it normal for me not to be able to post on mobile if I don't upload a picture first? that is my major gripe, apart from the occasional typo spam.

I have not come across that specific problem. But posting pictures can be a challenge. It worked just fine up until a few weeks ago.

Nice to know it's just not me.

I've had occasional issues with uploading, and I know the pain.

Chrome has this new trick where if you make a typo andandtry todelte it the wordsstacjup on each otherother and make duplicates unless you double delete beyondbeyond the incorrectly spelled word, delete the space between the next word, hit space and hope it doesn't start the whole process over again. This was typed without doing so

It looks like you're typing in Welsh. That's awesome.
