 Has anyone else tried to post in a thread or reply to a PM with their cell phone/smartphone?

I tried, and the only place I can type is in the subject box. My phone is a touch screen and it automatically brings the keyboard up when you tap any text box. Like I said, it works in the subject box, but not in the message box. My phone is an HTC Touch Diamond and it has the Windows Mobile operating system. I'm just wondering if this is caused by Windows Mobile phones or if it's an HTC problem.

I have posted with my Blackberry.  Had to put in the subject, then scroll down, tap in the message part and type.  Don't know about your phone though.

 This is just crazy! I just tried again, for about an hour, without success. My phone WILL NOT recognize the message box as a text box. I tried everything I know to do. I tried typing the message in Microsoft Word (mobile), then  copying/pasting, but that won't work either. I can copy the text in Word, but I can't paste the text in the message box. Since my phone won't bring the keyboard up (while trying to enter text into the message box), I found a way to bring it up manually.
 
 On my phone, you can tap and hold the send button to open voice command. I never use this feature, so I decided to change the settings to make it open the keyboard instead. Well, you guessed it, no dice. I can type on the keyboard when it comes up, but no text is entered into the text (message) box, or anywhere else that I can find for that matter. Apparently my phone is not compatible with opticstalk forum
 .
 
 
 I don't have any poblems in other forums that are VBullitin. I can start new threads, post replies and everything.
 
 Oh well, maybe I can with my next phone.
 
  I guess I should have went with the Blackberry.
