How do you prefer to browse/post on forums?

[Archaic]

While we do have a lot of analytics about how people are browsing Bulba in general, we don't actually have an easy way to cross-reference that with users who are logged in, or with people actually posting on the forums. So here's a question for you all. What sort of devices do you prefer to use when you're reading and/or posting on forums and similar sites online?

In my own case for instance, while I'm fine browsing on a tablet or phone, I find it incredibly awkward to actually post from those sorts of devices, and much prefer to be on a device with a proper physical keyboard if I'm actually going to be writing up a thread.

I only use my laptop(Windows if it matters). I prefer it for posting and reading things on here because its easiest to post and read on for me. Im not huge on mobile sites or apps in general.

Either phone or desktop, depending on whatever is convenient in the moment

Also, I like the mobile version of the site adjusting accordingly to the screen size

i'll check on alerts while i'm outside on my phone, but unless its urgent i greatly prefer posting on my PC. i'm a very clumsy and slow typer on mobile...

 

[WholesomeCryptid]

i use both my phone and laptop pretty equally i'd say, i definitely prefer typing on computer for sure, but the convenience of being able to visit the forums wherever i go is definitely too good to not take advantage of.

Phone for reading and quick replies, laptop for long replies and thread making.

 

[NumberOneSpinelApologist]

I have no strong preference, but in practice I think I actually use mobile more

 

[Princess Viola]

I can browse the boards just fine on either my laptop or my phone

But I'm also old so I basically almost only post on my laptop cause I need a physical keyboard. I hate typing on my phone. It's ass.

i feel like even with having a bigger phone, that really only made it so that i lurk the forums more, not actually post more. i enjoy actually using my physical keyboard to post around compared to my phone keyboard, which is probably a major reason for that.

My Laptop since its easier to type

 

[Croconaw]

I have been using my phone more recently, but I do own a laptop. I find my phone more convenient and easier to use.

 

[Kathylikestoread]

I don't have a phone, so I'll just use my laptop or iPad.

 

[Palamon]

My laptop, usually. Sometimes, though, I come here on my phone.

 

[Thegameandwatch]

I don't have a phone

How?

 

[staticmoth]

Mostly on my laptop or desktop. Mobile version feels very cramped to me so I only use it occasionally.

 

[Dorothy LaRouge]

The idea of browsing a forum on mobile is such a foreign concept to me. I'll only use a desktop browser for forums.

 

[Fraise]

Sometimes I'll browse the forums on my phone/tablet, but I generally prefer to interact with forums of any kind with a mouse and keyboard - on my desktop. It just makes things a lot easier, haha.

 

[Juliyet]

A general mix of mobile and desktop. I don't really have much of a prefernce unless a site wasn't made with mobile in mind or I'm doing a lengthy focused write up, in which case I will hop on my computer, but I'm already on my phone a lot anyway, so it's very convenient otherwise.

 

[Salmancer]

I'm not logged in on mobile. (mostly because I almost exclusively use incognito mode on my phone, but also because typing passwords on phones is inconvenient.) If I desperately need to see updates to a thread I use my phone to check in on it, but otherwise I'm laptop only.

 

[JollyYoshi]

99% of the time, I use my phone. I just prefer the privacy of a small device over a big one like my computer
