I've been watching the 'online now' numbers and they are averaging in the high 20's to low 30's fairly consistently. That has led me to poll you fine jet heads on what kind of device you are browsing on the majority of time. It seems that this forum runs so well on a phone that it may be increasing traffic.

At work mostly computer, at home mostly phone.

I LOVE how good this forum is on my phone(s)! I have posted pictures, answered private messages and responded to posts all without any problems.

Mostly a PC desktop here. About 10-20% of the time, I am using my Android cell phone. Both look GREAT!!

All of my viewing and posting are done on my Galaxy Note 3. I've yet to see it on my wife's ipad or a real computer.

If you participate in lots of forums it makes it much easier to track - keeps all the logins/pms setup and is application specific as to how it renders the board on the device (i.e. IOS vs Android etc.). If you visit mutliple forums from your mobile it's a must have. I haven't tried this device on my mobile yet, the other site was painful.

Edit - Just tried it on my phone - Looks great!

I may read, and even respond sometimes on my iPod Touch 5th gen, or my Samsung Galaxy S3, but for typing more than a single sentence or two I'm at the computer. I'm a touch typist and am so frustrated by on screen keyboards. I won't own a tablet for that reason. I have a desktop which I use 4-6 hours a day. I also have a new Sony VAIO Flip 14 which can convert to tablet mode but rarely use the laptop and when using the laptop I rarely use it in tablet mode. I just have to have a physical keyboard.
