Posting Links on Mobile and Cursor View and Signature

1. When posting links while on mobile they post as non-clickable, e.g.

www.google.com

2. The cursor sometimes vanishes in the area of the edit panel when on mobile. The text is obviously obscured by the edit panel, but the cursor remains visible. Scrolling is needed to find the text again.

3. Signature not appearing for mobile posts

I was able to click on this and was directed to Google. Is it not clickable on your mobile device?

We are aware of this problem (happens mostly when hitting "Backspace") and are working on resolving.

I will have tech look at this, thank you for the head's up!

+1 on these... the "new" post editor is super obnoxious to use on mobile now. Old one was fine.

While the above link is clickable, I believe the mobile interface does not automatically add the url tag to http prefixed links. For example:

http://www.google.com

This still seems to be the case (no signature when posting from mobile). Any updates?

(consecutive posts to illustrate difference between interfaces)

Above was posted from mobile. In contrast, I am posting this from "FT Desktop"

http://www.google.com

This gets the url tag added automatically to make it clickable.
