How Do You Usually Post On The Forums?

What do most DDF members (not only DDFers  :P) use to post, desktop site or Tapatalk?

ETA: If you vote "Some other way", be sure to elaborate in the comments!  :)

First of all, whats the difference between a DDF member and a DDFer? Second of all, those on Tapatalk won't be able to see the poll so the results will be very skewed.

A. You know there are these DDFers who will say "which DDFer doesn't post on tapa" etc. so this includes non-DDFers who are members here on the forums too.
B. I only found out (from the sea food thread) after creating the poll.

ETA: So I guess option two will always remain 0.  :-\

I didn't realize that was the criteria for being a DDFer
Which member was it that had the signature: "Posted from my phone's browser which is better than your phone's Tapatalk"?

I find tapa a lot easier to respond, and desktop site a lot better for finding and viewing information. Think search, and the wiki's head each page.
I don't sin, I give myself opportunities to repent.

+1, for some reason when I updated Tapa a couple months ago, the option to open links inside tapa doesn't work anymore and I have to open everything in the actual browser, very annoying.

I have only bad experience with tapa. Extremely hard to navigate, and totally not worthwhile the convenience of responding. I only use it when I decide to try it cuz "just maybe it'll be better than my mobile browser this one time"...  ::)

The links work it's just when I try to hit "view in Tapatalk" the page doesn't actually load.

Another thing I like about tapa is that pictures load normally instead of those huge oversized pictures you get when using the actual site.

So how do you call that a working link? And if you have to keep running to your browser, why not just stay there?

There's nothing wrong with the link, something is wrong with the way tapa is using safari to load the pages.
I like posting from tapa, the website is to hard to use on a phone, if it was optimized for mobile than I would consider switching. Don't get me wrong, Tapatalk has some very annoying things about it but I still like posting from it better than my mobile browser.

Tapa. Don't have a browser. I happen to enjoy the way it shows me everything I missed while I am gone

Tapatalk. I can't vote. I can't "like". It's probably harder to search. I don't really care very much.

Based on the given choices, I'm assuming desktop includes laptop so desktop.

Laptop basically means browser. Whether on desktop, laptop or mobile, no difference.
