This forum is not fully compatible with iOS Safari

This very Apple’s forum (Apple Support Communities) is not fully compatible with iOS‘s Safari.

It is so hard to use this it, like it was made strictly for desktop using and not for iOS devices as well.

For example:

When you start new discussion and typing text in Comments window, the typing behavior is out of this world!

It so infuriating!

Autocorrection is glitching or not working in a half of the moments. Backspacing is erasing sometimes two spaces instead of one. Backspacing does not erasing words after a few seconds, just continues erasing letter by letter but slowly. New sentence sometimes does not capitalize first letter. Sometimes you can’t place cursor into a wanted place. And so on, and so on.

A bunch of weird behavior of typing!

Or...

Trying to crop profile photo is complete nightmare. It is not cropping, it’s squeezing it!

Why Apple’s own forum is not compatible with Apple‘s own iOS devices? Is this a joke?

Sometimes Apple completely don’t give a heck about things.

I see #10 (after a fashion) on my computer ALWAYS

The text cursor is made to be the first line below the toolbar

A worse bug for me (again, on my computer is all that I can testify to) is pasting most text strings makes the pasted text line a huge amount of lines above the toolbar and the "display" of the edit pane scrolled all the way to the bottom

I can overcome this by using the up-arrow key then the down-arrow key in succession

FWIW, Apple is in the process of re-authoring the SiteWare (supposedly from scratch, not 'modifying' the existing SiteWare) as we speak. Results so far have caused problems unforeseen.

The iPad seems to be in some neverland between devices with the method that ASC uses to invoke the "mobile version" - it relies on detecting the SIZE of the display in concert with the UserAgent the browser is sending - I suppose that one could combine a zoom factor and portrait orientation to see what a phone user might see

I do know that the "engineers" are big fans of screenshots and videos, so you are doing the right thing in order to have your issues noticed

By the way, if user is restricted to upload videos here, but only links, why this ”video uploading” button is here anyway?

What is it for?

That actually could affect only actions in this forum, and do nothing with typing on iPad in general.

I live in Kyrgyzstan.

Which could still be related to the ISP that is being used, VPN, or a government intervention/rule. I assume you all live near each other.

Yes, I do have second language on my keyboard. It’s Russian.

I‘ve tested it as well. Same result.
