How do you primarily use MoFo?

Yes, and it holds true on pretty much every forum; only a tiny fraction of visitors ever sign up, a fraction of those ever post, and a fraction of those stick around and post a lot.

It does, but a) the user can force one or the other in their profile, if they want, and b) I don't log which it's detecting or anything, so I don't have stats like "76% of this user's visits are detected as mobile." I just have statistics from Google about total visitors, regardless of who they are or whether or not they're logged in.

Am I at home? Then on my laptop with the desktop style.

Am I out in the wilderness? Then on mobile with the mobile style.

I use Desktop, desktop style.

And I love the way the site works for me. So many sites that are geared towards mobile users, suck on a PC.

Thanks - so glad you went on to further qualify this bit

Desktop/laptop with desktop style.


I tried mobile, but mine is a 15 year old Windows phone so it's doesn't really work well on anything these days.

WHY SO COY?

I'm 50/50. During the day at work I usually have a tab open on my desktop throughout the day. At home or travel, it's all mobile. The only grief I have on mobile is 1) thumbing out replies before getting so deep I realize I should have jumped to my laptop, and 2) not having the format tools or a preview post option in mobile view. I can click advanced and get a preview, but once edited I cannot preview it a second time. So my posts are at times craps-shots on quotes and styling.

SAME except when home, am buried under cats and everyone knows they're ****ing fascists so yeah, mobile at home unless it's WINE NIGHT, **** THE CATS! Desktop on a tab at work...

Please don't do that to your cats. Whether they're drunk or not, it's just unnatural.

Trust an American to take me literally.

OH MY GOD. DON'T TAKE ME. LITERALLY!

No big surprises, though I guess the desktop/desktop percentage is a little higher than expected. Not surprised that nobody's using the mobile style on desktop.

Tagging all the users who use the desktop style on a mobile device ( @ashdoc, @cricket, @Joel, @Mesmerized, @seanc) with a question: do you use the desktop style out of familiarity, or because the mobile style lacks some features? Obvious follow-up: would you use the mobile style if it had more of those features, since it otherwise uses a lot less data and loads much faster? If so, please let me know which features, in particular, would be most important in making the mobile style viable for regular use.

Asking because the mobile style needs some technical improvements and a style refresh, and I'd like to do as much as possible in one swoop.

Oh, and if you're one of the mobile/mobile users, feel free to let me know which features you find yourself missing, too. Sounds like more Post Preview stuff is high on the list, since formatting is always going to be a bit of a pain on mobile.

When I first came here years ago I used a laptop. Now I'm using a smartphone. I prefer the desktop on my phone because of how the site is arranged in the same way as though I were viewing it on a computer. It's just more familiar to me. I just now switched to the mobile temporarily and it's a bit confusing. It's like a whole different website. The best part for me about viewing the desktop version is that the site is narrow enough so that I don't have to pinch the screen to make it fit on my screen. I hope that helps.

If on mobile and must do something like change profile pic, I have to switch mode to be able to do it, then go back to mobile default.

And yeah, PM previews on mobile/mobile. Only important for gif replies, though.

Oh! @Yoda you also can't quote replies in PM even if you click quote.

Desktop with Gangnam Style.

Yeah, that was deliberate, since formatting is such a pain already on mobile (which can't really be helped too much), but it's something I'm open to revisiting.

I don't have a computer so that's why I use the mobile device, and I just prefer the desktop version. Even if I had a computer, I would still do it the same because it's convenient and easy.
