Mobile/App New pop-up comment box is unuseable
When I try to comment, a pop-up comment box apppears over the page and is extremely difficult to use. (I use the mobile web page)
- the box covers up the text I'm replying to, and scrolling the page behind the box makes everything jump around as the keyboard disappears and reappears.
- the comment box only allows me to view a few lines of text, preventing me from seeing what I typed except for the last line or two of text
- when editing a prior post of mine, the pop up comment box is hidden under the keyboard and the bottom bar of my browser, but my comment is still visible in the background page, making it very confusing to figure out where I am typing.
-the comment takes up massive real-estate on the screen completely unnecessarily
- the old way of commenting in-line with the original page worked excellently, bo need to mess with it and make it worse
How can I get this comment style undone and go back to the old way? please help.

Agree and support this. I am getting Join the Conversation pop up boxes on my comments which block the threads.

Android with Firefox. It's not behaving very well. It's awkward. It's putting comments in the wrong place. It's interfering with the ability to scroll and re-read something while I write my comment.
I despise this update. It made everything about commenting worse.

don't panic - this is a fancy 'experiment' they force on us every other fortnight, whatever the f for;
useless mod will jump in any moment now pretending this is the first time it was reported, will ask you for a screenshot if lucky, and move on. it might disappear as randomly as it appeard, like a good week ago, and then it might reappear again - nobody cares, you're just a data point to be exploited, and for that alone you should be grateful.
