Do most of you have iPhone 4's or greater? Or perhaps an equivalent or greater non-Apple smartphone? If so, do you honestly find the mobile site preferable to the regular one? I have never found a use for using the mobile version, and some info is not available compared to what you see on the full site.

Truth be told since I've had an iPhone 4 I've never needed a mobile version of any website. That's especially true since the advent of LTE which came after the 4.

At any rate, I ask all that to ask this: For those that prefer the regular version of TD but who routinely access it using a mobile device and are redirected to the mobile version initially, is there any way you can move the "desktop/full site" link to the top of the page so my lazy fat fingers won't have to scroll all the way to the bottom?

I have a Galaxy S5 and use the mobile site. It has pros and cons, but not having to scroll horizontally is the main reason I use it.

Mobile site all day. I don't have to worry about zooming in and out.

You'd rather zoom in and move the screen from side to side to read everything? WTF?

I usually don't have to do that much if at all. But when I do it doesn't bother me. Full disclosure I've had a 5, 5S and 6 since shortly after each came out so the larger screen sizes may minimize that for me.

I look at the mobile site on my Windows Phone and it is easy to use. When using my phone it is much better than the full site.

I never use mobile. I just keep a tab open with it then don't have to worry about being directed to mobile.

If you go straight to TR without navigating through tiger droppings, it should take you to the full site. At least my iPhone does.

I hate 99% of mobile versions of websites. Normally, if a web-site gives me too much trouble (as in forcing the mobile version) I normally stop visiting that web-site. Period. Mobile apps is just shitty.

As mentioned, leave a tab open with TD on it. I just click the tab and here it is. I hate mobile versions.

I use both on my note3. Mostly the mobile version of the site because it gives me what I need as far as posts and articles. I mean, the only thing that isn't shown on the mobile version is the avatars and sig pics right?
