dzingirl Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Is there a trick to this? Whenever I try to search for something on this site from my iphone 4S, it's a huge PITA. I click on the search link, and it brings up the box. I type one letter into it and then my screen zooms way in on the big "The" at the top left of the page. Then I can pinch it back down, and repeat the process again, each time adding one more character to my search term. Am I hitting something wrong with my big clumsy fingers? Do other people have this problem too? I spend a lot of time nursing my littlest one and browsing this forum for great ideas and input, but I'd really like to be able to use that time to search for specific information. Thanks for any input! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danybug Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 I hate this too! It only happens on this site for me for some reason. It normally only happens once and then I start again. I have never given it much thought other than that it is totally annoying. I figured for some reason that the screen behind the search box is sensing the touch and throwing it off. :bigear: for any tricks to overcome it.

MomToJazmyne Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 I have an Iphone 4, but when I try hit the search function, it takes me straight to the advanced search rather than having me try to type it in the little box. Maybe try pushing on the search function to get that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Mungo Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 I can usually manage to hit "advanced search" and go from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmoira Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Request the admin install the Tapatalk forum plugin. The interface is much easier to manage and navigate on a phone than the standard webpage. http://www.tapatalk.com/ :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forget-Me-Not Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 I have the same problem. I really wish they'd look into Tapatalk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gingerbread Mama Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 I'll have to remember to use advanced search, when on my phone. I have the same issue (and on another forum that is basically the same setup.) It's infuriating sometimes. How do we request that they install Tapatalk?

LaxMom Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 I can usually manage to hit "advanced search" and go from there. That's what I do, too. Otherwise, same issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
