Small touchscreens & big fingers
Was wondering if others were having the same problems that I am with getting around in the forums?
On my tablet or phone - when I am picking a discussion to go to or a subject inside a discussion, about 7 times out of 10 rather than going into the subject it picks the name below the subject / or the moderator for the subject.
(I will do a screen capture and diagram later on my PC since it is a real pain to do on a tablet or phone.)
Is it just my chubby (fat) fingers or would it be easier to get around if the pick box for entering discussions was modified/ made larger?
Your comments/ ideas would be appreciated.

Happens to me all the time.
I don't go on using the phone much but if I need to I expand the page, click on what I want, then shrink it back down a bit again.

So here is what I mean about had to enter a forum or topic when using a touchscreen with even moderate sized fingers.
If the box area could be made larger I think (IMO) the entire forum would be a lot more user friendly.

Try zooming in, I find that it helps (I have the same thing happen when trying to click on 'last post' - half the time I get the member's name instead, lol.

Zooming in does help. Stylus is too easy to lose :(
