I can’t get the stupid post box to go away (and the buttons are hidden, so I can’t post anything. I’ve tried restarting my (new) iPad and it still comes up whacked.
Wait...did you hit New Topic and get the full edit window, and now it fills up your whole iPad screen? Did you try hitting Discard? Or is that one of the buttons you can't see?
I am also able to get to the menu icons that run vertically down the left side by swiping from left to right. They appear and overlap the full edit window without having to throw away a post you might be adding/editing.
I also noticed that if I pinch and make the window really small it just kind of disappears and you go back to the list of threads.

I had a similar experience with my Chromebook and found if I grabbed and dragged the bottom of the 'post' box, I could then see the top of the box to exit out.
Otherwise, reloading the page cleared it.

I can’t edit posts. The buttons to submit are buried up top. If I hit that red chat thing on the lower left, the edit box goes away, and I can post another reply, but I can’t go back into a post and fix anything because there is not post button visible (I mean, I can go back in and edit, but I can’t post my edit - the post button at the top is hidden). Does that make sense?
Seems to be Safari. When the edit window pops up, the top of it is hidden when you’re in landscape mode. Turn to portrait and and the edit window fills the screen and you can see the Submit and other buttons.
doesn’t seem like it should work that way and I think something isn’t right, but at least if you do the portrait mode thing you can submit your edited post. It’s like it assumes you are on a phone and most likely in portrait mode. Brave doesn’t work this way. Haven’t tried other browsers.
Will look into it further and see what I can find.

Clear out cookies for WTF-Beta and log back in. The edit screen will be back to normal. Worked on both Brave and Safari on my iPad. I had maximized the edit screen and couldn’t get it back to the default, but clearing out cookies did it automatically.
