if I'm holding it horizontally and I try to post something, when I tap in the text area the keyboard appears, and the site header (the black bar) gets pushed off the top of the screen. So I can see the first couple of lines I'm typing -- it basically looks the same as it does if I do the same thing on DU3. Maybe older phones lack this functionality?

So there is a potential fix for this but it will have some side effects. Basically I can "unstick" the site header on mobile devices which are held horizontally, so that it is not perpetually onscreen but scrolls with the rest of the page, in the same way that the header on DU3 does.

I think this might be the best solution to be honest, because it will free up more screen space on all pages when viewed on horizontally-held mobile devices. I've just made the change - please let me know what you think.
