Discourse has been wonderful but I’ve been hearing complaints from users that the forums do not function as well on iPad when writing posts especially for writing very long posts. One user in particular finds it difficult to insert pictures into posts using an iPad. For me the Discourse experience on iPad is really important as these users provide really valuable feedback for my products.

When I compose a reply on a 4" iPhone screen running iOS 10.1 in Safari, the bottom half of the composer window ends up behind the keyboard. You can scroll down to make it appear but when you start typing longer posts the text ends up behind the keyboard as well. This is tripping up some of my mobile users who get frustrated trying to post from their iPhone.
