META - Posting quirk using iPhone

Submitted by MGoGrendel on July 28th, 2022 at 3:30 PM

@Seth - When using my iPhone and commenting directly to an OP, I don't see a "Save" option, just "Preview".  Once I hit preview, I can then hit save.

When replying to comment within the OP, I see both "Save" and "Preview", so that function works fine.  Also, my iPad shows "Save" and "Preview" for both comment options.

Maybe this is part of the recent upgrades; thought I would bring it to your attention.

Based on many of the comments we see here on the blog, maybe they purposely built this in...just to give everyone one final chance to think about what they're posting before they post it?

I have seen the same sequence on an Android tablet. For more information? Firefox is the browser, not accepting any cookies. (yes, I throw gelt at beveled guilt 😉)

The same thing happened a couple times two days ago on my Moto X android phone but not at all yesterday or today.

OTOH, I'm having trouble posting links, the last few I've posted today and yesterday come up "requested link not found".

(Edit @7:35pm)

Annnnnd...in my most recent post in the 'U of M Night @Comerica" thread, only the 'preview' button showed up.

Fix will be in the next site update, which is coming as soon as I get time to do some testing in the sandbox version. We caught it already, just haven't put out the fix yet.
