Hyperbole. You're using it right now.

Yes it does. Are you actually unable to make posts from mobile?

^^^ See, it's doing it again. Grrr

So no, it's not usable when quoting is involved. You can't delete quotes. There is no CTRL key or right-click on mobile devices. If you want to reply to a small part of a quote, you have to post the entire quote because you can't delete the split quote.

It is true that some features don't work as well on mobile, which is not the same thing as "broken" or "not supporting mobile usage". Duh.

Forum software support for Tapatalk is added by the Tapatalk people, please ask them to support it. Duh.

No, it has to be enabled by installing a plugin in the forum software. KSP admins have always rejected multiple requests to implement Tapatalk. It's probably not possible to install the Tapatalk plugin on this software anyway.

This is a legitimate issue, and one that will be addressed in the next forum software update. Apparently you will be given the option to keep or discard saved drafts when coming back to a thread, and drafts will expire after 48 hours in any case.

The editor saves drafts, yes. See above.

No, it doesn't just save drafts. It saves posts that have been posted before, including old quotes, even if you clicked Quote on another message, forcing you to delete the content before you type a reply and click Quote again. And on a mobile platform you can't delete the quotes, so you're stuck.

Forum software changed in December of 2015, which is one year ago, not two. We are dependent on a third party for bug fixes, all we can do is report them in good faith.

Yes, but those bugs have existed since the beginning. If the software had been properly evaluated, they wouldn't have chosen this one.

The forum software itself actually isn't that bad. Pretty much all the gripes people have are with the editor part. It has so many bugs, it really needs a total rewrite.

I'll probably get dinged for this, but I respectfully request that the moderators not act juvenile on the thread.

Resorting to "duh" and upside down text is nothing but inflammatory and unhelpful, and I'd expect better behavior from Squad "personnel" even if they are volunteers.

On the issue of the forum, obviously mobile is usable, I'm using it now, but any time I see an old quote in the textbox or feel the need to quote in a reply, I just don't...  I move on because the editor is so... Unpredictable.

FWIW I use this forum on Android chrome when on mobile, if that makes any difference to reporting.
