60/40 currently in favour of mobile over tablet for viewing this site.
Generally, rather than just on CycleChat...

Looks like tablets are almost dead now, and an even split between 'desktops' and mobiles, with mobile use roughly stable over the past year.

I realise that I asked the wrong question!

I know that signatures are hidden on phones (in portrait mode - hardly anybody uses them in landscape for web browsing, but if you try it, the signatures magically reappear!).

What I should have asked is - 'How many of you use CycleChat exclusively on phones?'

I view about 85% of the time on my laptop and 5% on my tablet (signatures visible), and 10% on my phone (signatures hidden).

Mostly on Desktop and Tablet, only occasionally on the phone.

I have just finished the first series of Afterlife on Netflix with Ricky Gervais. I'm not usually a fan of his, but it's quite good.

Exactly my thoughts.

99% phone. Last time I used my tablet was January - mid February 2020 when I took it to Vietnam.

My wife uses her tablet a lot but then it's far better than mine. I have a 8-10 year old Nexus something which still works very well. The Nexus was top of the range at the time.

Too much eye strain browsing on a phone for me, even with the iPhone pro max which is quite a big screen.

Yes, phones are great for portability but even big ones are not a match for tablets and desktops.

Tablets are interesting... They can be seen as 'a great compromise' AND/OR 'neither one thing nor the other'!

At home, I like having all 3 available. Sat down - I use my laptop; in bed - my tablet; on the move - my phone.

My 10 year old Samsung Galaxy Tab crawls on websites now, and won't load some at all. I almost exclusively use that for old games like Spider Solitaire or Sudoku where its lack of oomph doesn't matter, but its perfect size is a bonus. The new tablet is really good where more performance is required (e.g. it is great for Zoom chats; even better than my laptop for that) but it is a tad heavy to hold for long.

My old tablet won't run the games that I am writing. They work really well on the new one.

Just checked. I can see it on the ipad but not the iPhone.
I no longer have the web site. A number of reasons but I gave up the web name.

I had marmite on toast this morning^_^
Sometimes I'm decadent. A couple of slices of toast with a generous slather of Cornish butter with sea salt crystals. Next comes a liberal amount of Marmite. Then it's the crunchy peanut butter. All this is topped off with sliced banana, with the slices being mushed down to make a uniform layer.
A perfectly balanced mix of carbs, protein, and fruit in one sumptuous treat 😎
