Do you use a mobile device exclusively to browse DU? [View all]

I bring this up because I *do* only use a mobile device (don't ask), and thus use the mobile formatting option (available in My Account preferences) which does not show user avatars nor signature lines...

...which means, of course, that it's not readily apparent that a poster has changed their username.

Not that it matters that much, as I tend to not pay much attention anyway to authorship, but occassionally it does or will become an issue.

So, just wondering how many others may only be using a mobile?
