Problem clicking in boxes to enter data

Options
As discussed here: https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6537218/e-15-08-that-s-life-summer-special-2

It seems some of us are having problems with some comps in entering data in some of the boxes.

I found a get around that works most of the time. When I resize the screen, usually to shrink it, it lets me click to enter the boxes.

    It is some bad coding on Bauer sites.

    It seems as if the top 50-60% of the screen is blocked off.

    If there is an entry box in the bottom 40% of your screen you can click into that and Shift+Tab up the form.

    It also usually works if you open the form "incognito".

    It also helps if you turn off your ad blocker.

    As I said on the other discussion, for anyone using a Tablet (and presumably a phone?) I finally found this solution -

    The form only seems to become 'active' near the bottom of the screen - the top half is dead and won't let me add anything or use autofill. 

    But if I tap lower on the screen it works okay - so enter the answers just using the lower half of the screen.  I have now tested it on various comps/sites and they have all worked.  Hope this helps anyone using mobile devices.

    I've had this problem,  best way round it for me was to use the Tab key, which then lets you enter data in each box with no problem.

    I did this too, but it wouldn’t let me tick to agree to the terms.

    If you use TAB to get to a tickbox, use SPACEBAR to tick/untick
