I'm finding myself interacting with the boards in a variety of different ways lately. I've been accused of being on the forums more than most recently, and it piqued my curiosity a bit. So, how do YOU read and post to the forums?

I had posted a poll, but it got lost in geek-SQL-php-land. Be sure to elaborate on your answers a bit. If you read from a desktop, do you use a Mac or PC? What browser? If you use a tablet, do you use its web browser or a forum browser app? Same if you browse from a smartphone: web or app?

Personally, I'm using Forum Runner on iPhone about 65% of the time now. For the long posts I use Safari on the Mac, and every once in a while I get caught using the WinDoze PC at one of my stores.

About 95 percent of the time, on my desktop. I just got an iPad2 so I've been browsing on that.

I check in several times a day from about 8AM until about 11PM almost every day.

I use it on my big LCD monitor on my Win7 x64 i7 pc with four 2TB hard drives set as a RAID10 array with an SSD as my operating system drive and 12 gigs of triple channel RAM, using Internet Explorer.

See now you had me to a T until you said Internet Explorer. I do everything through Chrome and test in IE, Firefox and Safari.

I have my iPhone but browse the forum from Safari as I'm not big on paying for apps.

It sure would be nice to have a poll here though!

I most often use Firefox on my trusty old Windows XP desktop machine. On the road, I use an Android smart phone, and in my store I run Firefox on a Linux (Ubuntu) system. While attending Clean last week, I used MS Internet Explorer on an Asus EEE netbook running XP and tethered to my smart phone.

I average 30 minutes a day on this board. i don't use any others on a regular basis. i use a basic win 7 laptop that i bought at staples for 329. it does great. chrome has so many incompatibilities that i removed it from my computer - back to ie 8 since my store cams are not compatible with ie 9. I ask and answer questions.

my current fascination is with the card/coin discussions, I am days away from signing a contract for a washcard or spyderwash.

Be careful on that contract!!!!!

I know, right? The technical and moderation staff must be asleep (or entirely not present!)

No, Kim. I don't need you to show me how to post a poll... However, any time you'd like, feel free to show me how to merge these threads! ;-)
