Am I the only one who uses the desktop site on my mobile?
« on: Wed, 15 October 2014, 09:39:13 »
I have never really found the drive to use tapatalk while I was on my phone and apparently people here like it, but I have been doing quite well so far using the desktop site to view posts and make them.
I am wondering if anyone else here is as weird as I am.  :))

I prefer the desktop site overall, especially when I typically use the "Unread" threads to keep track of new posts. The formatting is better on the desktop site for me.

2) I hate, hate, HAAAATE mobile versions of websites.

3) I have a phone with a 6" screen.

Of course I use the desktop site.

Not that I'm aware of. I was just speaking in general.

Tapatalk is great for small screens. I use it on my work phone (iPhone 4S). On my personal phone and mobile devices, I use the desktop site.

When you get married and have kids, it will be the opposite. After 5pm, I'm only on a mobile device at home. I post from a PC only when at the office! :)

^^ this for me as well until the kids go to bed and then sometimes I get the laptop out :D

But I do occasionally use the mobile site in chrome on my phone.

I like tapatalk especially the notifications that allow me to easily see when someone responds to a post or sends me a PM. I also like the ease of finding threads I participated in and unread threads as well as the timeline feature.

I'm as weird as you. Tried tapatalk, hated it, uninstalled it. No need for it.

Nice, same here.

I've found the high-res big screen to make most mobile sites useless, especially on 4G. The only ones that are unreadable for some reason are [H]ard|Forum and a few others that force you to the mobile version without a possibility to change back.

Nice, same here.

Only downside I've found is that I cannot find an Otterbox or Otterbox-like case for it.

The biggest problem I've noticed with some of the websites forcing me to mobile versions is that they will only show half the screen and there is no way to see the rest. Swipe over? Not happening. Zoom out to see more? Yeah, the other half of the page DOES NOT ****ING EXIST!

Agreed, regular browser > tapatalk

They are the same speed, do the same thing, why ever use tapatalk?
