How many people browse the forums on their phone?

[m0ds]

I sometimes use it when I'm out and connected to wifi. Quite fun to browse from phone Not so easy to type though on my galaxy "ace", I get lost and into typo territory when on this right hand side of the input box...

The link to the wap version is at the bottom of this page:

That is the default version that loads up when I visit this site from my phone.

What mobile do you use, Stupot? The same thing happens on my phone too. I, however, switch to full version.

I try to avoid doing internet on my phone - not because it's expensive but because I just don't want to be checking my e-mail all the time. When I travel I bring a laptop, so I'll use that to browse the forums.

@Adeel - I have an LG. One of the ones with the slidy out qwerty keyboards that were cool for about five minutes (i still much prefer it to a touchscreen keyboard)

To those who mention that it's "not fun" or similar.
Any special reason why?

Yes, well, I really can't get my head around it. I tried it, but neither browsing not actual typing is fun- screen to small, no real keyboard, often bad connection. It's just that I feel browsing on the phone is in its toddler phase.

Tablets, well, that's a different thing altogether. They work nicely, and I actually use *those*.

I often check the forums on my phone, especially if there's a particular thread I'm following.

Like others have said though, I will rarely (if ever) post from a phone. I never feel like I'm in a rush to post, so I wait until I have access to a computer.

Didn't know about the WAP version, will try it out.
On my pre-historic iphone3 it takes a while to go back to previous pages if I make the (common) mistake of touching the wrong item/link. Magnifying the screen is a pain because I'm constantly in panic that I'm going to touch somewhere...
But, like I said, I mainly use it to check if somebody insulted Catholics and stuff like that. I wait until I get home and then drop my wrath upon AGS users.

I pity you people.  I run these forums and I don't feel the need to check them while mobile, unless I absolutely have to.

I mobile browse as well, but mainly only the GenGen and Rumpus Room while I'm on break or lunch when there's no one in there with me or they're all outside smoking. I find clicking the little NEW graphic quite tedious each time.

maybe if you would stop browsing the forums upside down it would be easier!

Found out about Tapatalk today. Looks decent, and should make it much more convenient to browse / post from phones.

It just needs a plugin:

I like Tapatalk, makes it so much easier to browse forums. Would be nice if that plugin was installed...

[The Meek Geek]

With the advance of Phone Tech, I'm sure the Forums will look better and better on iPhones and Androids?

[videogameoppurtunity]

I browse on my phone, and i have a iphone.

[TheBitPriest]

Count me in. I have a new phone, and I can easily see this replacing my laptop for my early morning news and forums browsing over coffee.   I'm using the full site, not the "mobile" site.   

[Khris]

In case people missed the other thread about the bigger text, AGA is working on getting the forums ready for Tapatalk. They are already listed, but it doesn't work yet.

[festilligambe]

I don't own a phone other than the one attached to my wall not even a cordless option. I do however read it all the time on my iPod touch 2nd gen but it's an old iPod so it us slow and exits the browser often due to memory issues when there are too many things to load. Also harder to type I prefer the laptop by far.

tapatalk is now installed.  Please go here to discuss.

I don't think anyone truly answered this question, so allow me. The answer is 147. 147 people browse the forums on their phone.

I myself, part of the 7000+ members who refuse to do so. Beyond the obvious, which is that I barely browse the forums with my pc, I'm also against allowing my OCD forum behaviors to rule my life. You see, if I started accessing the browser through my phone, I'd have to keep checking and checking to see if someone replied to my previous post. This would distract me from other things, such as work or showers. Plus, I'm near an actual computer most of my life, so a keyboard is almost always a more attractive option.
