Daybreak and the Missing Cursor:

Where is the cursor in the WFMU APP??? It is in the name to display window when you click chat.

But then when you click to chat there’s no cursor which is immensely frustrating if you need to change anything before sending it.
  10:14pm
Daybreak and the Missing Cursor:

Anyone else on the app experiences this after the 2 week ago update?

Please let me know. I left a review in the App Store but that and a Nicole will get ya a nickel.

The previous line prove my point. I meant to write buckle but it went to Nicole, but I can’t see the cursor to fix it!
Avatar The Evan "Funk" Davies Show Hellraiser 2024 Swag For Life Member 10:17pm
Ken From Hyde Park:

I think someone mentioned that Dark Mode affects the cursor. There should be some settings for that stuff.

Truly do not like him or his voice. Especially after his buffoonery on stage with Sinatra. Sinatra didn’t even know who he was( some bs award show)
