Mobile reply button hidden in chrome

MikeJones

On android using chrome the address bar hides the button to send your reply once you type it:

MikeJones You should be able to scroll up without activating the text box to reach the posting controls.

jordanjay29 I see it there but just pointing it out because it shouldn't be hidden by default

I get the same thing on my Samsung Galaxy S8+. I just make do and slightly scroll up to submit my post.

Prosperous but @MikeJones is also right as for the new users, it's slightly confusing to find the submit button for the first time. And this can be fixed easily either by shifting the whole answering window down so that submit button is visible or placing the submit button side-by-side to viewing button.

gurjyot I guess that may be true to a certain extent as well. However it is definitely not high on the priority list for now. ?

Prosperous we know beta 8 is high priority now and that's why we are not pushing this issue a lot. Just reporting it in a simple discussion. ?

Yeah. I noticed this from day one using Flarum. There are other mobile quirks too. Like right now on my iPhone in Chrome, when I started typing this reply, the textarea went away I had to scroll up to get back to it. It's really tough to get every little thing working on all mobile devices. But, hopefully one day these things can get tweaked.

I advise everyone having any issues with browsing Flarum on their mobile devices to note them down. These sorts of bugs will definitely be addressed.

This appears to be an issue with the latest Flarum: Safari (iOS) and Chrome (Android). The button is there, just invisible; I can touch the white space where the ... is supposed to be and a reply comes up. How do I make it visible for mobile devices? Thank you.

lmx Odd, are you experiencing this on this forum? I'm not seeing it on Android Chrome.

Self-hosted Flarum. On this site, I see "Reply" link. On my site, it's just "...", but invisible (white on white?). Although it is invisible, the hotspot is there and I click touch where "..." is supposed to be to reply. Maybe this is a "Confix" theme issue? I disabled it a while ago and now I see the "Reply" link instead of the invisible ellipsis.
