Do you primarily access (browse/post) DS via a PC?

I'm curious to see if there are more people who access the site via a desktop or laptop computer rather than mobile devices, such as a mobile phone or tablet, when out and about.
Personally I prefer browsing and posting here with my laptop as the screen is big enough to easily read the thread titles etc. but moreso its easier to type longer posts with a keyboard. I was out today and I used my new mobile phone to browse the site while travelling, I managed to post a few times and it worked ok but it made me wonder how many people maybe mainly use phones or tablets etc. to communicate on here, rather than the more traditional basic computer formats.
I noticed, while browsing via my phone, that some posts seemed to have a quite large font size and others didn't
not sure why? another of the glitches caused by the recent site re-vamp perhaps?.

Anyway, yes I'm at home when I read and post on here.
Sounds good
I'm sure a lot of people are posting from work too which would be a third way, I suppose.
;-)
I suppose thats true although I don't, we're not allowed to.
I'm not forcing anyone to reply...im not a 'phone person' though, so wondered how out of date I am? lol if that even means anything?!.
For the most part I don't have time to go on the laptop due to my one year old son wanting to eat the laptop as soon as he sees it so I use my mobile phone. It's not as easy to read threads, it takes longer to read and post but it's still quick. I do use the desktop version on my mobile though.
Mostly use my trusty desktop still.
I tend to frequent different sites on my tablet, not really sure why.
How do you access the mobile version of the site? I tend to browse via receiving email notifications of new posts in threads I subscribed to, clicking on the links in those, so I presume its the basic desktop version of the site that loads?.
Me too. It took a fortnight of help to get my laptop to a DS version I could read without runny eyes after the "upgrade":kitty: they did. I couldn't cope with looking at it on a phone.:D
More and more I use my Chromebook but still use the desktop a lot (as now).
My phone is more than 5 years old and doesn't have internet access.
Out and about, mostly a smart phone, sometimes a tablet. At home, a PC. A PC is far the easiest way when it comes to navigation, screen size wise, IMO.
