I recently updated my iphone to OS 15, which changed some Safari browser behaviors. The title bar can optionally be at the bottom, and there's a new gesture (flick up) that can hide the title bar. For some reason, this will move just the D-pad and buttons on the BBS up and down on the screen during normal gameplay (e.g. using the d-pad to play.) This makes it pretty much impossible to play anything on the BBS unfortunately.
Oddly enough this doesn't seem to be an issue with direct html exports hosted on my own site, so it's likely BBS-specific. I don't know web coding but maybe there's something to do with the embedding or frame size.
I did try changing Safari settings (such as moving the title bar back up) and disabling accessibility gestures in the OS, but none of this helps, unfortunately.
Hopefully there's some easy solution with the .bbs page layout? The Sisyphean toil of keeping things working in browsers continues :( Thanks for looking!
I should note that this problem went away-- whether it's a bbs change or ios change I couldn't say, but hooray.
Hi @Logarhythm. Please change the context since this bug is solved. Click on EDIT for the first post here to do so.
And yes, @zep is right on top of fixing and upgrading many things with Pico-8. Our hero in blue.
So, actually I just got a repro case on this. If I'm logged in to the BBS on my phone, the problem occurs again. When I'm not logged in, whatever state the page is in stays put (doesn't scroll anymore.) I've tried this a couple of times and it repros reliably.
