I agree although it's touch I treat tablets as desktops

Fuck, thanks, need to check that then

So something is wrong with your script then

Edit: i see you noticed ;)

i don't think there is enough end-user checks going on for hte 'usability' of mobile sites

GFY for example has a a 'go back to forum' next to 'reply' or something

i never use gfy mobile cause of it

I see where you're coming from, I think it depends on the nature of the site, I'd like your opinion on the mobile version of vixen-escorts.com which is here vixen-escorts.com/mobile/

Took the time to look, first link looks awful, second link great

**VIXEN ESCORTS** · 03-25-2013, 03:17 PM

OK so basically I believe your Samsung has an Android OS ? so I need to redirect based on screen size rather than OS......fuck, it's hard keeping up.

Yeah, Android.. the OS alone should not be the critera. Ask GFY how they do it, with my phone i get the mobile version, with the tablet the desktop version

Its really depends. Some mobile sites are good. Some suck. NBA.com has a good mobile site and just too much info to have a responsive design. But most suck. It also depends on your device. Ive noticed some mobile sites different from device to device.

I always go for the desktop version as well.

**Konda** · 03-25-2013, 06:58 PM

I hate it as well, and I think most people do.
It's 2013, most people have a smartphone and those phones display desktop pages just fine. It's just frustrating to be redirected to a mobile site.

I have done extensive tests with split testing mobile traffic to test between mobile tours and normal tours on the paysites, and in every case the normal tour had better signup ratios than the mobile tour on mobile traffic. So it seems that porn surfers don't like mobile tours either.

GFY is a good example of a site that NEEDS a good mobile version, and luckily it has one. Text heavy forums like this are a bitch to read or post on with a regular version even on an Android device with a 4.8 inch screen.

Although the mobile version of GFY is missing a few options it should have. It does work much faster then using the normal version.
