This may be demographically true (probably not) but the fact remains, mobiles are the primary channel of choice.Ruth_NZ wrote: ↑19 Feb 2019, 15:44But it's a website, right? Not twitter or facebook. I can understand that mobiles are the common platform for those but why should a website be? It would be like saying that smartphones should be seen as the default platform for books or periodicals.Tacalabala wrote:The majority of forum users are accessing by mobile, it should really be seen as the default platform.

I hate smartphones and only have an iPhone under sufferance (for business purposes and facetime mainly). Other than that I don't use it and never for FISO. Isn't there a case that there's a place for a forum that doesn't try to be all things to all people? Something a bit more specialised? I don't see how FISO FPL could possibly develop a USP otherwise, certainly not by competing in the twitter race to the bottom.Vid wrote:When FISO started access could only be via PC, nowadays the mobile is becoming the majority's method of accessing the internet, whatever is posted does need to be mobile friendly, I don't know whether the voiced issue might have a bearing.
Books are for reading; websites are for browsing on a computer; twitter and instagram are services primarily designed for mobiles. Is that too simplistic?
The thought of reading a book on a kindle is unthinkable for me.... just like streaming music was (until 12 months ago).
I reckon if we were to set a survey up... the massive majority of people will say the vast majority of their FISO time is via a mobile.
In fact, I’d be surprised if Chris doesn’t already have this data.
