scrolling within a text box

Postby Contra-Nietzsche » Wed Apr 11, 2012 9:09 am

Scrolling within a text box is impossible when I use a nook tablet.... I can write a few paragraphs, then see a spelling mistake above to correct it, and the text box recenters, moving my text below where I can see to click where I left off to resume writing. I had to scrap a new theory about dietary intuition and land usage relating to neuro inhibitors rejecting and accepting logic as well as creating its own, looking for global patters in accepting vegetables even in bad diets from a question I asked Dr. Michael Greger from nuitritionfacts.org...... he was stumped and couldnt anwser it.... and he literally knows everything. I wrote it here, the above happened and couldnt salvage it.... too much was beneath and couldnt reach the last line. I know a solution on the administrators hand is unlikely given the sites architecture, but does anyone experience something similar and can they help?

I hereby refuse to have this new and deeply insightful look into global dieary psychology and how it relates to kand use and cultural diets here now out of pure spite. Could of been revolutionary, saved the world and offer a array of new insights..... but I am pissed and so now fuck it.

Pissed as in mad? or pissed as in 'pissed'? :confusion-shrug:

I have the same problem on my I-phone, which I've been modding on for about 2 months now... place your writing icon (I forget what it's called) at the end of the last line you can see in the text box, then press return and then delete and the previously hidden line below should then appear in the text box... repeat until you arrive at the required line or the end of the entire post to continue writing - it's a pain, but it works :?

The Narcissist exists whereby every activity and relationship is defined by the hedonistic need to acquire the symbols of spiritual wealth, this becoming the only expression of rigid, yet covert, social hierarchies. It is a culture where liberalism only exists insofar as it serves a consumer society, and even art, sex and religion lose their liberating power.

Or, I can track down the floor the software team who designs this stuff resides, wearing a buttflap and spear, yelling 'make the words come back' as I systematically wipe the department off the face of the earth old school style. But Ill try your method first.

What's the Nook's operating system? Are you taken to the mobile style by default?
