NOTE: Please see the 2019 Mobile Devices BUG REPORTS thread here.
PLEASE POST SCREENSHOTS of the FULL SCREEN and report your DEVICE TYPE, OPERATING SYSTEM, BROWSER TYPE AND VERSIONS you are using in your post.This thread is strictly for the reporting bugs related to the 15 November 2017 upgrade of FlyerTalk Mobile on your MOBILE device. (Please refrain from discussion or speculation about issues if they are not reports as specified here.)

Your full report (see above) will assist Internet Brands / FlyerTalk in handling these expeditiously. Admin / Tech attempts to respond to all reports speedily, but eliminating problems / bugs may require devising technical solutions that may require time. (Internet Brands operates during usual work hours on the U. S. West Coast; customary holidays, weekends, etc. are observed.)

To see how to include a screen shot in your post, once you have taken the screen shot follow the instructions "Inserting a photo or image from your device into a post:" in the first post in the thread http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/techn...mage-post.html

NOTE: Internet Brands and FlyerTalk discourage the use of software that modifies your FlyerTalk browsing experience (e.g. ad blocking software). IB / FT declines all responsibility for the use of such software and can not provide support or assistance if such software is used. As well, we remind you IB / FT can only provide FlyerTalk free to members because of the financial support of advertisers; using ad blockers denies IB / FT income that would normally pay for your free community membership and browsing experience..

Posts advocating, suggesting, or recommending use of ad blocking etc. software will be summarily deleted.

This is a known bug. We are waiting on a longterm fix, thank you for your patience.

This bug on iOS devices (same on iPad) has already been reported a hundred times for many months...

Bugs not fixed after many months. Isn’t someone getting embarrassed by this fiasco?

And BTW, the mobile skin sucks.

The "hidden cursor" issue has indeed been reported long ago. We are still waiting for a core software patch to address this (the software has not been patched since the issue was reported, so it's not as if they missed this issue).

Use the mobile skin and it's not an issue at all.

But I get this bug when I AM using the mobile skin. The screenshot above is also from the mobile skin.

Sorry about that, I was confused. We do not have a solution to this issue at this time.

It is unacceptable. This is a travel forum. People are on the go all the time. How can this not be fixed?!

There seems to have been a recent update? I dare say I haven’t seen the hidden cursor issue in a few days. BUT, there is now an annoying change. Before, when I click on a thread, it used to jump to the first unread post. Now, I have to click on “view first unread”. Which means to get back to the forum it is now two clicks of the back button.

Anyone else notice this as a change?

On the mobile skin, click the chat bubble to the right of the thread title and you are taken to the first unread.

Thank you, now I know what that was for! Seems a design change then.

Figured it out

Whenever I post a new thread (iOS safari) all the letters I enter in CAPITALS are changed to lowercase when posted, exception the first letter in title. Very annoying.
Title should read: WY DXB/AUH -CGK USD.......


EDIT: Never mind, I figured out the shouting rule.
