I know for a fact that many people on here use a laptop or desktop (probably laptop, though), while many others use the mobile version. I for one use both, yet use my laptop more often than my iPad and iPhone, and use the laptop when posting journals. If I want to quickly reply to something, then I use mobile, however. I was just wondering what you guys use most often?

I greatly prefer PC, and only ever use my Phone to post pictures and when I'm camping and too lazy to make a mobile hotspot.

Hi there! I went on a 6 month or so hiatus, in part due, and in part cause of the death of my colonies. 

However, I went back to the Sierras, and restarted my collection, which is now as follows:

Aphaenogaster uinta, Camponotus vicinus, Camponotus modoc, Formica cf. aserva, Formica cf. micropthalma, Formica cf. manni, Formica subpolita, Formica cf. subaenescens, Lasius americanus, Manica invidia, Pogonomyrmex salinus, Pogonomyrmex sp. 1, Solenopsis validiuscula, & Solenopsis sp. 3 (new Sierra variant).

I think it's easier to navigate on PC so that's what I usually use.  I'll sometimes use mobile, just rarely.

I'd say nobody here is PC and everyone but maybe FSTP is mobile.

I interchange between mobile and laptop but it's dependant on whether I am out or at home, though I use my laptop for making longer posts.

You're almost right. I use the PC but a lot of times I use mobile wasting time in waiting rooms.

How come PC has 65 % of the votes then?

I just check FC on my phone when I’m bored the way “normal” people check Facebook, Instagram, or whatever.
I use PC when I’m pretending to do my job and when I update my journals.

I highly doubt 65% of Formicultists are politically correct, or that FSTP has grown actual frog legs since the last time we talked.

I use mobile when I’m outside, away from my house, or out of town. When I’m home, I use PC because it’s way better and I can upload pictures. Really, mobile is just for catching up and reading journals and seeing what’s new.
