Investigating Typing reply on android phone

[Lady of McCamley]

Okay....I took screen shots.

I've managed to get rid of another middle bar which cut across the screen totally, through a Google ad corner click and with option to remove that particular ad box (obstructs view), but the one at the bottom (looks like a blue bar for that particular ad, but they scroll through differently when you change screens) remains and doesn't appear removable.

When I try to "reply" to any post, that bar moves to the top of my text box cutting off any view of BYC.

It may be a Google upgrade, or how Google is interacting with BYC. I don't get that when I surf other websites...only...at this time....BYC. EDITED to add...I do get that too on those sites that are ad heavy or photo heavy.

BTW, I'm using LG Stylo 2V with latest Android v 7, and latest Chrome.

It probably is a Chrome/Google issue...and you can go into your settings to change personalization of ads (since they click stalk you that way), but I don't see anywhere to get rid of those ad boxes altogether.

Anyone else using a browser on Android that has better experience?

Lady..my phone view looks like that too.
I prefer to never use my phone.

Edit..I guess my phone view isn't this small..but it sure feels like it compared to using a desktop.

Hmm... those screenshots seems familiar to this discussion here: https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/typing-reply-on-android-phone.1175193/

That's with an LG k7. What kind of phone do you have?

I used the App...just to take this screen shot for ya.
HTC phone, signing in on the APP. Not through the browser.
I can see 6 lines of text.
I will try the browser next.

Wow..now I am using mobile device
Signed in through the chrome browser and I can still see a lot of "room" to type a reply

I have a iPhone 6+ and I use safari to get on BYC. This is what I see when replying to a post.

This is exactly what mine looks like too. So hard to see to type anything

What kind of phone do you have?
And what browser are you signed in with?

Which phone do you have and which browser are you using?
