I do most of my posting from my phone. It has its disadvantages. one of them is the fact that the word processor on the Android machine doesn't get along very well with the text justification program that usmb runs. I am constantly having to edit to get the paragraphs and indentations correct and to stop the post from being spread out all over the place.
It's a small problem though.
However much larger problem has recently come to light. I understand that a place like this needs to make money to stay online and so they sign contracts with the search engines in the various internet providers to run ads which is generally a good idea or in my opinion. However recently I find that the hazard become obnoxious to the nth degree. They completely cover the page on my phone and Irish stubborn as all hell to remove. To make matters worse is a new moving pop-up that appears in the lower area of the posting region. It has a teaser x to drop it that always seems to center itself right over the red button that scrolls the entire page down. That's probably not an accident. So when you're dropped the damn pop up the page scrolls out of sight then you have to scroll it back to begin posting again unless of course a full page pop-up covers the entire page causing you to have to wait another 30 seconds. I found a way around it though. when the full page pop-up comes in I simply go back to the home screen on my phone and reopen the Tapatalk icon. It's a lot faster than fighting with the pop up. There are a few paid pop-up blockers that you can get they'll probably do better but I refuse to pay for something I can get rid of on my own.
