When I look at a PM on my iPod Touch that is longer than the text box, I just plain can't see the part of it beyond the lower edge of the box. On my computer there's a scrollbar, but the touchscreen only has one scrollbar for the entire window. I am able to see what it says by copypasting the whole block of text to Notes, though.

On the whole, it's a low-priority problem; I just wanted you to know it exists. Maybe if there was a way to view the whole PM at once, or a "view source" link, it'd help.

That reminds me: while I'm here, I should see if there's a thread about History buttons for posts (I just get so damned curious).

Use two fingers to scroll within frames. I figured that out the hard way.

Thanks. I thought it was impossible.

Okay, nevermind, then.

~Knowlessman, still an issue?

Uh, I kinda stopped using my iPod ages ago and am on my second smartphone. :| My first smartphone had its own slew of issues with posts and PM's, but it was old when I got it, so I'm pretty sure it was the phone's fault.

Haven't encountered any issues on my new one, yet, at least. My new phone scrolls PM's just fine.

Thanks for checking, I guess, but that kinda was five years ago.

i care but i'm restless, i'm here but i'm really gone, i'm wrong and i'm sorry, baby

We shall see on reports from others, then. Closing here.
