Mobile Site vs. Website

One of the components that I appreciate is the "thanks button", but it doesnt show up on the mobile site.
Is there anyway to add this option?

I'm not a big fan of the mobile site at all. I much prefer the classic site. I don't think you can see avatars either?

I bought a tablet mostly to increase my SR usage and can't use the thanks button or see profiles on the left either

I look at the full site on my phone. I don't like how it looks on the mobile site. Harder for me to read.

If you scroll to the bottom of the mobile site you can still access the full site from your phone or tablet. That is what I usually do.:-)

I do the same. The mobile site is ok for a quick check in, but it lacks a lot from the full site.

If u download and purchase the app, u will have the "thank" feature. I believe the cost is ~ $2 or $3 US.

It's great when out and about, I haven't purchased the app so the "thanks" button is absent, also the thread only has the last poster name against it on the board rather than the original poster.

But hey, it's still great to have something out and about!!

Thanks everyone for your replies. I dont have the app, i was referring to the mobile site snd yes it seems others have expressed the same. I just use the desktop version on my phone. I like seeing the Avatar, where people are from and a quick thank you when i read from people. But yeah i guess the mobile site has to be lighter. Id glasly pay for the app if it was the same as the desktop version with all the features.

Its what makes me feel close to fellow members.

Yep. I have to do this on my tablet and mobile phone each time. Only takes a sec though.

Giving up is NOT an option.

I use the app on my phone and iPad. There are fewer features than the full site, but for me, it's easier to read on my devices. I use the full site on my laptop.

Same here. The app does lack features available on the website forums, but I find it easier to read and interact than I do on the mobile version or full version available on my phone's web browser.

Overall though, you can't beat the full version on a PC or laptop.
