If you like a post using a PC it goes back to exactly where you started from so it seems that it is more of an iPad problem. And you don't get multiple posts with a PC. Posting photographs appears easier on a PC. Perhaps you Apple fans should think about going back to a proper computerwink

I'm using my HP laptop on windows 10 and Firefox and it doesn't.

Apart from my phone, which is small and not overly pleasant to use CT on, my equipment - KIndle Fire or this laptop does not behave in a logical fashion or at all frownsealed.

I do watch but rarely post because of the 'improved' 'updated' site.

I have had double posts with my laptop, it's not always easy to see if a post has gone through, I haven't noticed the "likes" bit, I'll try it now and like the previous post....it's working ok for me on the laptop.

Have you tried using Chrome? I have resisted using Firefox after I had a bad experience with some of the add ons they use. I have used Chrome for this forum for some years now and it seems to work very well. I do have an Apple iPad mini, despite my tongue in cheek comment previously but I only use it when its not convenient to use my PC or laptop which is not that often. The iPad is getting on a bit now and I was wondering about buying the larger version but having seen what happens here I think I will save my money.

Always found my laptop and Firefox fine, certainly was on previous CT too.  Sadly, I am not impressed with this latest CT, can't use at all on my Kindle Fire, again fine on old CT.  Can operate from my phone but not not ideal.  I just tend to pop in and read now.  Only pointing out that it isn't user friendly since the change.

I am not having problems on my Windows 10 laptop on Chrome, have always used Google Chrome.

No problem with my iPad 4 or my new iPad Air 2 on Safari which I always use for CT.

Agree about Firefox. It's my preferred browser but I installed chrome so that I could use the site search pages properly. Shouldn't have to really but hopefully they'll sort out Firefox problems as it has been flagged up. 

No fun at all on iPhone using safari.

I've not tried posting with my Fire but the site doesn't work very well with the standard silk browser  I'll have a go with the dolphin browser and if it works I'll let you know

Fire tablet and dolphin browser. Page jumps around. Graphics missing. Back button doesn't delete. Not recommended

Fire tablet and silk browser seems to work well enough for me.

No missing words or graphics.

Doesn't appear to be eating words

Glad you've tried it, I have no idea how to go about that.

I have used my Kindle Fire without issue until the recent 'upgrade', same with FireFox.  I'm nowhere near incompetent on using the web and haven't actually had any difficulty with any sites until now.  Surely the idea is to have something that works across the board?  I have an uncle in his eighties who's never used computers in his working life and loving his tablet, things should be inclusive not for the few who happen to be savvy enough or lucky (by chance it appears) to have the right equipment sealed/

Hmm sometimes it's fine, sometimes it isn't.  It will accept whole words and sentences and then start to eat.  Not a pleasant experience at all.
