Why can't I jump to the last page of a thread on my phone?

Design flaw of the current version of the forum, on other forums with the same template I encounter this problem on mobile. I don't know if it can be patched or not.

So I'm kind of long distance dating this one guy from Tunisia that I met on MyYearbook and now talk to all the time on Facebook, like almost every day. Do you guys think it's okay, or is it dangerous.
I mean, he seems pretty damn legit though. Anything I thought of to question his legitimacy, I could answer with a good answer.

Is all he wants is to come to America? Well, he seemed set on having me come to Tunisia to meet his family, rather than him coming here, but I begged him to come here instead sometime because it's easier for me, so he settled for it. So it seems, he doesn't really care about a Visa. And I think he's only going for a visitor Visa anyway, for right now.

Does he want money? I have no money or worthy possessions and he knows that. And he claims to have quite a bit of money, which is believable looking at all his pictures, one shows his car which looks rather expensive, and one shows him on his expensive looking motorcycle or whatever. And he's going to send me gifts in the mail apparently. He was only supposed to be sending me papers to sign to help him get his Visa, so he's doing something extra, and I even told him he did not have to, I'd love otherwise. But he's going it anyway.

He's got plenty of FB pictures which makes him seem more legit.

He talked to me on his webcam for a few minutes yesterday to prove he's really who he says he is, and was completely okay with me questioning him about such things for my own safety. He was not offended at all, and was happy to prove it.

And he's going to call me later at about 6pm my time on my cell, which makes it even more legit, yet again.


Is there anything else you guys think I should do for safety? You know, any other ways to prove he's legit?

I really hope this is true. I mean, I know things happen likes this alot and they turn out to be false, the person is a con man, is just going for a Visa, wants money, sex, etc.

But, he seems to be true, and he seems to truly care for me and love me.

And he never says anything perverted or wrong, that would make him seem like a man who just wants sex, or who would rape me. I've never seen him say one thing that made me question him at all.

And he's got mostly friends and family on Facebook, and professes his love about me on there, in front of them all. A non-legit person usually tries to keep it in secrecy.

Oh, and this is his Facebook http://www.facebook....100003580977034
Might help with things.

For anyway who helps me, thank you so much. I've never been so in love before, even though it's long distance right now. <3

I love this man, he seems like such a gentleman, and such a genuinely caring person, and very happy too. When he was on cam and he received my IM (since I have no cam and didn't feel like borrowing my bros mic) all I could see was him smiling (and it seemed like a very genuine smile, not a fake on, I can tell fake smiles from real ones rather easy, mind you).

I am going to leave responding to that to someone else.

By the way, Kristy, in your current facebook profile picture you have way too much makeup on and it does not look good at all.
just sayin.

Hmm....I will use less next time. But I look terrible without it.

To me this seems like  a bad idea....

[soybot]

I think it's more that you're not smiling and have the camera angled funny, Kristy. Also, that dude seems like a creep, even if he is legit.

[John]

Kristy, I'm not trying to come off as an asshole here, but just 2 years ago you believed a Nigerian Prince Scam on quizilla, so, it's good for you to be careful.

[NickSutton]

Any long distance relationship is stupid, unless you're married and have to spend brief periods of time apart.
Although I also don't believe in marriage, I just used it like a simile to relate to very long term relationships because it's popular and tax appropriate to get married in a long term relationship.

[All Dead]

Getting involved in a long distance relationship with someone you've never actually met is not a good idea. If you had actually spent time with the person, and we're able to see them at least every month or so, I'd say go for it. I don't think you'd be able to afford that. Really though, this whole things up to you. If it makes you happy, whatever.

What kind of papers did you sign?

[All Dead]

Wait, this dude is asking you to fill out forms for him and shit? Sounds like someone's trying to steal your identity.

[Skaz]

He's definitely a con man or something else untoward. People don't fall in love that quickly, even if they are in daily contact and you've never even met him.

One question, how does he seem like a creep? To me he's absolutely opposite of that.

I know, I will be careful. I was a lot more naive then.

Well, I mean, we can always get married in the future and then it won't be so long distance.

Thanks all dead. I know it's not the safest idea, but plenty of people have done it before and it turns out just fine. I've heard alot of people say, meeting a stranger online really isnt' anymore dangerous than meeting a stranger in person, honestly. Either way, you don't know the person at first.

And it really does make me happy, this is the happiest I've been in a long time, and the first time I've ever really felt love. I now know what love feels like.

He's just asking me to fill out papers to help him get his Visa. It's something that people do all the time to help others get a Visa, it's completely safe. It's especially common when they are just getting a visitor Visa, which is what I think he is getting. No worries. If I see anything there that I have to sign that I think he shouldn't know, I won't sign it then. I'm not that stupid. Thanks for trying to warn me though.
