Is there a way to hide either the addr bar or title bar when typing in text box in landscape mode? Right now I cannot see what I am typing at all. Don't really need the forum title bar nor the address bar there when I am typing in a text box.

There is no way to hide the title bar. Are you not able to input text with your mobile device? You may be able to scroll the screen down a bit to find the text input box.

not find, I am already focused on the text box, the kb comes up and I don't see the text box. Changing kb height is not ideal since I would have to relearn how to type.

That blue cursor indicated where the cursor is in the text box lol

Adding my name to the issue. There should be a setting to scroll the title bar up(autohide) as you scroll down the page, then redisplay it on scroll up. I'd be surprised if this wasn't a setting in the admin console. Otherwise it should be easy to code, though I'm not a web dev, so I can't give the specific code snippet.

I think it makes more sense to trigger upon focus on text box.

That works too. I'm just used to the other way. arstechnica's homepage has the hiding header, and it makes sense to me. I made a quick look on how to do it, and it looks like js is how it's typically done. I'd bet it's available with ajax.google.apis, which is already used here.
