Surface RT

I cannot post on this site using my tablet. It is a Surface RT Win RT 8.1. When I attempt to post, the soft keyboard starts moving between the middle and bottom of the screen. I have not had this problem on other sites. Is there a fix for this?

Unfortunately, the only browser that runs in Win RT is Internet Explorer. A version of Firefox was considered but never completed, and Google never considered a version of Chrome for RT. That is the problem I am running into, IE is my only choice.

I'll try on my Surface RT later tonight (it's usually serving as a book-end on my desk), but I suspect Nikon78 is right on. I've had more "anomalies" with the RT than I have had positive experiences. If I find a resolution, I'll post up what I did.

Testing with the QuickReply window. My RT is also grabbing latest updates ... apparently it hasn't been charged in awhile so latest updates may change the behavior.

Once I started using the onscreen keyboard instead of the touch cover, all heck broke loose. I don't know what's trying to refresh in the browser background, but that seems to be possibly part of the problem.

Bleh. Glad I opted for the ASUS Transformer then instead of the Surface. If it were me, I'd take the damn thing back and exchange it.

It sound like you are seeing the same thing I see on mine. It is not just the soft keyboard, I tried my wireless USB keyboard and it does not work. This is the only site I have trouble with; I think there is some incompatibility between this site and Win RT.

Your ASUS Transformer runs Win 8.1, not Win RT. yours would be comparable to the Surface Pro line. I do not believe the Surface Pro would have this problem. I can't exchange it; I have had it too long, and this is the only site I have a problem with. It appears that my tablet is not compatible with this site.
