You gotta pay the poll's toll...

Those Ned Beatty obits are tough 😬

Where is the poll option? I can't find it anywhere,
I still don't understand how to make a poll! I am actually on my laptop now, I did see the "poll" option and I ticked it and added 3 options... But that was as far as I got, nothing like a poll ever manifested.
The only issues I've had with the mobile version are: 1) the asterisks and 2) when I go back to edit a post, it switches over to the markup language being visible (and remaining in my post after I save the edit). For the latter I just briefly switch over to the desktop version to do my edit.

Honestly, I used to post on a forum (R.I.P. Rotten Tomatoes) where at one point your posts would get arbitrarily sucked into a moderator queue that wasn't actually being monitored by anyone and spat out at random times. So the things I point out above are things I can easily live with.
Yeah, I expect the divide will always be the people who had it when they first started posting, and those that didn't.

That said, there's a feature or two missing from mobile, and that's on me. Need to round that out a bit more.
I prefer the browser version of this forum, but I think the mobile version works really well, in spite of a couple issues I have with it.

Sorry you feel that way. I'd be happy to explain why I'm pretty sure it doesn't, but my experience is that doing that just makes people angry.

The following will not be satisfying, and everyone who ever hears it says "no, that's not why!" but...it's a truism among developers that people hate anything they're not used to or anything which feels scaled down, even if it should be. They always prefer the difficult but familiar to the easier but new. In this case that'd be something like constantly pinching to zoom in and out, which is obviously terrible from a usability standpoint, but is something people have just priced in as the cost of using mobile.
Hey, I’ve been using the mobile version since day one and never regretted it. Only used desktop once or twice before I learnt to upload photos via mobile. So agree with Wyldesyde19, it’s great.
