    I set up a thread on the site development forum here but looking to see if anyone else is having the same issue. Here's the post.

    I'm using IE11 on Windows Phone 8.1. On the touch site whenever I tap somewhere on the top blue bar (the area above the search bar) that isn't one of the other three icon (boards logo, forums menu button or user account button), it registers as me tapping the create post button on the top right of the screen. This doesn't seem to happen on any other website or app I try it on so it doesn't seem to be an issue with my touch screen.

    Yep happened to me all the time on WP

    I even considered asking for the removal of said button as I thought (In addition to being bloody annoying) it would only lead to a lot of posts going in the wrong places but decided against it.

    Doesn't happen on the android phone I upgraded to though :)

    Edit: I'm almost positive it happens with other browsers i installed on WP but can't remember.

    Also to add, it happened when I was pressing the boards logo

    It's been driving me daft the past couple of days. Using a 5 inch phone with your right hand means it's difficult to hit the boards logo and most of the time I'd hit just to the right of it and trigger the create post button. A bigger hit box for those buttons/icons would be a decent solution.

    This was happening at least a year ago for me. I remember installing maxthon browser but can't honestly remember if it sorted it or not.

    Isn't Dav getting rid of the touch site soon anyway? Might not have to suffer it too much longer :pac:

    Yeah but it's being replaced by the beta site which unless it gets a drastic overhaul is going to be terrible.
