How do you browse ICE on a daily basis? Total portability or the old fashioned way, sitting in front of a computer?

I do 99% of my browsing on a tablet (an iPad). Hence plenty of spelling/ grammar mistakes. I don't sit in an office or have to sit at a chair and table in my home so I keep things very portable (like from the beach). :D 8-)

Don't forget to vote in your own thread, John. :)

I'm mostly on conventional PCs, sometimes phone or tablet. Mobile devices are good for reading but not so much for posting or performing tasks. (I'm connected to this place almost all the time from wherever I am.)

Oh I forgot, yes I voted tablet (iPad) as its the most convenient and portable way to keep up with the world and ICE in particular. Posted a pic from last nights concert via my iPhone btw.

I sit in front of a computer at work all day, so it's easy to check in on ICE 15 times or so throughout the day (don't tell my boss).

I'm more comfortable using my desktop at home, too. I check in on iPhone when travelling or commuting or out and about, but rarely post that way.

Tablet mostly for browsing, so I can keep up with threads from wherever I am at the time.

Most of my posts, however, are made from my home on a laptop computer.

Desktop and laptop for me, but only because I'm not a soup drinker.

My eye site isn't good enough to read much of any web content on a phone. I like my 27" pc monitor! (I liked it just as much before my eyes got this bad).

I bet I browse ICE differently than most. I use the computer, as most of us appear to do so far, but after selecting "view new posts" I right click on each of the threads that interest me and then I open/close each tab/thread. Not sure why I started doing it this way, but I've been doing it like this for years.

I open a tab for each sub-board that has new posts, & than open more tabs for any topic that I want to read.

Daily?!!! you mean you don't have it permanently open on every internet connected device you have, including the Fridge? For shame...

Seriously, I use both the home and work PC's - and very rarely on the cell phone. I don't find boards work well on a Blackberry; too small, or too much scrolling.

It does work great on my iPad, my most preferred way of checking in. If I am parked in front of the tv, then the laptop is pretty good too.

I have a service that cuts letters out of old print copies of ICE and recreates the posts and sends them to me via snail mail.

Computer.

On the phone it's very difficult to navigate.

Desktop. Other than that, all I have (or want) is a Kindle Fire. I don't own a cell phone, but I use my wife's iPhone if I must.

Don't own a smart phone.
Don't own a tablet.
Own a laptop that I use about 2 hours a year.
PC is the only way I'm connected.

I also open a tab for each thread I am following.
