Just cataloging these things. I can't post on mac's jamming to BTs thread anymore. Soon as I place my cursor in the text box I am kicked out of my browser.
I think it may be related to how many videos are embedded in the thread. When it happens, it's always in threads with lots of embedded video.
Seems to just be an iPhone thing, but given how common the device is, I doubt it's only me affected.

Good idea to catalogue them. I checked the thread and didn't have any problems on my PC- no loose HTML or anything, so you may be right and it may be an iPad thing, but if we have a slightly bigger sampling support may be able to figure it out.

Yeah the other thread it happened on continued to do it after you cleaned it, but it had 13 embedded videos on page 1. When it went to page 2 I could post again...but only if I used the box at the end of page 2.
Sometimes I encounter threads which kick me out after I've typed a few words. I expect it's the same process, and probably to do with the limitations of my iPhone Safari browser. Wonder if I close a few pages if it makes a difference...

check your Safari settings on your phone under video. make sure you are not auto loading.
Facebook has changed it's behaviour to now autoplay. need to turn that off too.

I opted out of FB 6 months ago. Rarely regret it. It's a little lonely sometimes, but mostly just so nice to have that bit of life back.
There doesn't seem to be any auto video loading going on. I dong see any option for that in my browser settings. But it doesn't happen on other threads with 1,2,3 etc videos. Those which do kick me off, have lots of video, but I can still read all the thread. It's only when I place cursor in message window I am kicked out and browser shuts down. Well, actually, if I re-enter browser I go straight back to the open page at MBh which I was just on.

Ok so that's weird. I shut all but this page, went to that thread and was able to post.
Then, curious about how much I could write...and also because I was sure that thread had previously gone to a second page but is now only one page..maybe I have lead poisoning...I went back to try again...and was promptly kicked out. A third attempt seemed destined to succeed, but I didn't commit to post.
Yeah, great. Inconsistent results. Now I really don't know
