Over the years, I have been a member of this great forum, with the number of years, I have made use of Smart phone(s). Most times, I have this feeling that there are things a laptop/system can do which smart phones can't, though I don't know what those things are. :-\
So, this makes me to ask, which do you think serves a better experience in the use of this forum?
Mobile/Smart Phones or Laptops/desktops?
And your reasons why.
Will like to hear your thoughts on this.

i personally think that desktops are the better way to use this forum simply for the reason that mobile phones are too small and someone with bad eyesight i would rather read posts in a big screen than a tiny one
typing in an actual keyboard is also much easier than typing in the keyboard of a tiny screen though if we are to talk about accessibility, of course mobile phones win because you can bring them anywhere unlike desktops where you have to plug them somewhere and set up

I am used to using both the forums on mobile and prefer it over laptops/desktops.
Sure the viewing experience is better on laptops/desktops but I type much faster on mobile and I hate it if I mistype or have to look for letters as I tend to do on laptops. Understandably, this is habit thing, but I am not too keen on learning to use new things these days.

Personally, using this forum on a desktop or laptop is way easier because the site isn’t mobile responsive. On a phone, everything looks smaller, and you have to zoom in or scroll a lot just to read or click something. It’s not as smooth or comfortable compared to using a bigger screen.

It depends on which you enjoy the most mate. For me personally I will prefer using my mobile phone as it's on the go. I can easily just login to my forum account and access it with need of a desktop. You can always use your laptop any where. Some times you may be in a public place and you receive a message on you telegram bot. It's easier to just reply using a smart phone.

It really depends on the usage. I personally like to use it with my laptop because I can access multiple tabs of Google Chrome at the same time on my laptop, while managing multiple tabs on mobile is a bit difficult. And I can type faster on my laptop than on mobile, which is why I like to use Forum on my laptop. But when laying on the bed and go outside. Then the mobile devices is comfortable to explore this forum.
-
This really depends on the different needs of each person because there are many people in this forum who do not have the money to buy a laptop/desktop so mobile devices are best for them. Again, many people use mobile devices despite having a desktop/laptop because they may get enough work benefits from it. However, small screens are always bad for eyesight so everyone should do most of their work on laptops or desktops. Since I do business so I have to be outside most of the time which is why I use mobile devices more.

Using smartphones is easier in the form of apps where I can customize the app/notifications/windows etc. while using browsers is easier on laptops and desktops where I can multitask.

PC or a laptop is way better for the forum usage, even though we may not see much of difference with the reading but big screen along with the mouse beats the smartphones any day. If you want to edit, quote multiple posts then it is shitty job with smaller screen so if I post from smartphone either I try to copy the whole post to reply or just wait until reach my pc.

All of them have pros and cons. Depending on your availability and of course if we're at home, it's best to have it on desktop. And if when we're away and like staying in some hotels or cafes, laptops could be the best device to use. But if we're on the go and we're not in a comfortable place but we want to navigate the forum then the best option are the smartphones.
-
Using a mobile device or a system are both important for us because they all serve their own different purpose, we may not have to compare them on each other because each can have their own unique way they are being applicable to our use, which I expect that this should also be the basis in determining for their uses base on how convenient they are with us in using them, just as in my own case, I also uses both depending on my location.

It is all down to a matter of preference because some people have better experience on their mobile phones than they do on the laptops. I have a preference for using my laptop because I could easily switch between tabs, do research when needed, and read new articles with ease. Also, I can avoid the distraction that comes from having social media networks like WhatsApp buzzing me with notifications when I'm trying to get serious to either read or learn something.

I hate notifications too (from chat apps, and other apps as welll), so I keep them off all the time.
-
When it comes to anything online work the best thing to use is laptop but for the purpose of typing I will prefer smart phones because typing with your phone is more easier and more portable to use because Imagine you typing on your laptop it will be more tedious but with your smartphone which is in your hand it makes it much easier and portable to handle so for the purpose of this forum I will choose smart phones over laptops
-
I mostly prefer using my laptop for forum activities because of the visibility and convenience on navigating the platform so easily without any much reason to zoom in to view a page properly as the desktop screen is big enough to put up good visibility but I do use phone for easy access when ever I am not with my laptop or I am very far away from home. My phone gives me quick access without any need to worry. It's just a mobile device which means mobile access for quick response and actions but desktop or laptop is absolutely the best for a more convenient engagement.
-
If it is for reading, of course a laptop/desktop has a better experience because we can read it more clearly, unlike a cellphone where we have to zoom in and if we read a very long text we have to be really observant not to miss a single sentence, but unfortunately a laptop/desktop is too inconvenient to carry around so a smartphone plays a bigger role here, but if I choose between a cellphone and a laptop, I prefer to use a laptop and make posts at home before leaving the house.
-
Apart from reading it is way better experiene on laptop/pc to quote someone and post. On mobiles/Tabs (without keyboard) it is hard to use all features of a good post in a comfortable way.

I think so too, using a laptop definitely has a better experience. But for me personally, I am an active smartphone user and I started making posts, commenting, always using my phone. And during that time I had no obstacles to do so, so I think both using a laptop or using a smartphone are all okay.
-
I use a laptop to make posts and do my jobs because my phone can't handle multitasking that well. I have a decent high-end gaming phone but it requires more setup if I want to use it as a replacement for a desktop. Android generally doesn't support running multiple apps even though you can use a separate window for that. So if you're like me and you need to do your job while browsing the forum, I think a laptop would be much better. Even if browsing the forum is your only goal, I think using a laptop is still better because it's pretty easy to move to different tabs, copy-paste, and so on.

Same, I also use smartphone to access both forums, and never faced any obstacle that makes you say that you really need a better device. Yes, zooming in/out is a thing, but it becomes a subconcious affair as you get used to it.

I guess your are right it is a matter of habit. I wil be using the forum entirely on mobile for next week as I will be on the mountains. ;D. This will be a cool experiment though.

Totally agreed with you, for me, mobile phone is much easier and faster than desktop or laptop and also I don’t need to sit all the time to be doing my work, I can either sit or stand even lie down if I want to, and it makes me feel more comfortable while doing my work, I can take my phone to wherever place I want to go and being doing my work.
You can also being doing other things with your phone while working, that is you can minimize your chrome or any site you use in logging in your account and be attending to other apps on the phone and you can answer a call and then still return back to the forum without the fear of logging in again and starting all over.

I understand what you saying but you can do same on desktop/laptop too?
-
I love the big screen and see words clearer egg ich makes me feel laptop/desktop is the best to access the forum with. However, I use more of phone because I am not always at home to make use of my laptop. I can access the forum from wherever I am. However, the reason why I prefer laptop/destop is because, it makes it easy for you to wear a signature brand that you are promoting, unlike a mobile phone.

For me, I don’t think so, I have tried it so many times but to no avail, it got to a point that I was so angry out of frustration, and I didn’t give it a try again, maybe it’s because I don’t know how to operate with it or maybe I don’t just like using, I can’t really tell but I see myself using mobile phone is more easier without stress or pressure of any kind.
But one day I will still try and give it a try again, maybe this time, I will learn it with all my strength and I will try to use it more often.
-
Take note that there is nothing you cannot do on either devices, but a pc offers a better experience. In mobile devices you have to zoom to see some part of the screen. If you have a pc, then you should surely use it to access the forum and you would enjoy it so well.

I'm curious how that happens. If we're talking about switching from one window to another, isn't it fairly easy to close the tab or open a new window in your browser? If you're using an app to open your e-mail or other stuff, it should be easy to close or hide it in the background, too. Most apps usually run in the background even if you close it nowadays, especially for apps like e-mail. If you fear that you'll get logged out, I'm certain some apps offer you an option to stay logged in/remember your account details. Seeing that you're frustrated with it, do you use an app that offers no features like that?

I didn't have any trouble copying signature code from here on phone tbh. I did have some problems on bitcointalk but it was solved with tryninja's script.
-
Currently I use both. At first I was not comfortable using a cellphone to open the forum, where the limited reading space made me uncomfortable, but as time went by and I was included in the reclining team, I often used my cellphone to open this forum.

I agree with you that PC gives a better experience, even for the display of signature and some pictures, it gives a better view but the reason why I usually access the forum with mobile phone is because I mostly go out with it than I do with my laptop and even at my office, I really do not find it comfortable to access the forum with the company's laptop that am working with, rather I will log in with my phone and make some post when am free. So, because am used to phone, even if am at home, I still don't mostly use the PC.

How someone's daily schedule is will determine which one is preferable in usage for them. In my own case, I prefer a smartphone because I can make use of that at any given moment without any stress or running out of battery for the use of the forum.
My type of work, requires me to be active online. Because I do have a course online that I am helping out with my friends to carry on with on WhatsApp. I can't do all that with my laptop without having it switched off within two hours, while my phone lasts many hours.
The same goes for the forum. Since I am always on my phone, I can read forum posts at any place I find myself. It must not be at home, it might be elsewhere, where I am hanging out with friends. I can take a look at that post, and comment on it if I like

Yeah, I totally get you. It really depends on your daily routine. For me too, using a smartphone is just way easier. It’s always with me, and I don’t have to worry much about battery or finding a place to sit with a laptop. Especially when you're busy or always on the move, a phone makes more sense. You can chat, check forums, and do a lot of stuff even while hanging out or doing other things. Laptops are cool, but not always convenient. So yeah, phone wins for me too most of the time.

Though if is only on this forum the two are perfect because there is nothing any of them cannot do and besides this forum is not complex that only laptop can be needed, however desktop system is not okay for it do to that fact that it works only when there is light and anything other than that it will not, so even if you can use it but it will give you some inconveniences because is not gonna be active as laptop and smartphone, the major work here is the writing and both phone and laptop has keyboard to be used.

people multitasking like this are incredible lol
sometimes it is hard to focus when you are outside so even if you have your phone with you with the forum opened it may be distracting when you are outside with friends and it is noisy and quite eventful so maybe for some people they like it better to just sit down at their office and open their desktops that way they can focus so much more
though i guess if you treat forum like a social media application then you can focus on it even if you are outside.

Yea and also it depends on individuals on which one they know how or find it easy to use, because it’s not everyone that can be able to operate laptops and might also not have the capacity to handle it properly.
So anybody that find any of it easier to use, it’s good for them and they won’t find it hard to operate on and also anyone you can afford too.

I agree, forum activities using smartphones are more effective than using a PC, where if we use a smartphone we can interact, read and find out about any developments we are waiting for at any time, I think using a smartphone is more comfortable and simple if we are outside the house

Everyone has their preference, some people will prefer using the laptop because of its larger screen and its makes everything bold for them to see, must especially people that are having vision issues.
But as for me, I prefer using smartphone. after all, that's what I normally use and I enjoyed using it. Because you can carry it along with you wherever you are going, but it will not be easy to carry your laptop around. however you can login into the forum and access it directly with your smartphone without people knowing what you are doing and no one will even bother to ask. Because using smartphones is more common between people. But seeing you moving around with your laptop, it will draw people's attention and they will ask you a lots of questions that you will not even be able to answer.

That's a good one. I have noticed that there is notion attached to use of both the devices. If person is using smartphone, it's usually assumed that he's doing some timepass stuff while if one has laptop and he's doing something on it, he's considered 'professional' — you know what I mean?

Smart phones are the smoothest to use in this forum, due to its flexibility and mobility. It can work anywhere you are, whether standing, seating or in a tight area/schedule. I will say the experience will be a total different thing when the mobile phone is not as smart as it could be. Cause, old version mobile devices finds it difficult to easily do somethings in the site; lagging and hanging of the phone can make one even tiered.
