I remember absolutely despising Vista back in the day. It's like every single detail of its design just rubbed me the wrong way. But I wish you luck in keeping the old box running.
How do you view the forums?

Laptop most of the time. I use my phone (Android) to just check in on threads and that's it. And my tablet (also Android)? Ehh well I sometimes use that too but it's mostly my laptop either way.
RIght now, I'm viewing the forum with a big annoying TFSource ad showing up smack dab in the middle of the Transformers Discussion forum page, instead of at the top of the page where it's supposed to be.
EDIT: The ad keeps flip-flopping between TFSource and BBTS. Both on my phone and on my laptop.

I'm desktop PC all of the way, while I could access the site on my phone, I chose not to, I rather access the form via the PC as I have done for years
Yeah that's what it's supposed to do and has always done.
Turn death into a fighting chance to live.
I’m blown away by the number of desktop/laptop votes. iOS/Android split less so, but in a mobile-first world there’s something refreshing about that.
I’m genuinely curious why so many Allsparkers are desktop users. I’d think most of us are late X to mid Millennial in age, so is the Oregon Trail effect?

I spend most of time at home either on my desktop or on my couch, where my Steamdeck is docked into my TV, running desktop mode. There isn't really anywhere in my apartment that I'd want to view the forum and don't have access to a desktop, aside from like my bed.
I can't speak for everyone, but as an Allsparker in their mid-to-late-forties, I am just more comfortable browsing on a larger screen; always have been. Phones are nice and all, but I rarely use them to do much of my online "business of life." Also, this hobby tends to be very pic and video heavy, so I want to see things as large and as clearly as possible.
Edit: I do tend to browse the site on my phone during substantial events, such as Botcon, Comicon, etc., mainly because I want to keep up with the steady stream of news.

That one always weirds me out because if you're on the forums anyway why not have another tab open on the browser to discord?
Because I use the discord app?
Well that's fine. I was talking about someone (Gizmoboy) who doesn't want to install the app and you don't really have to since the browser is exactly the same.
I mean I use the Discord app on my phone. I use Safari only to browse the forums on my phone. The main reason for this is bandwidth tracking. I use my work laptop and VPN so they can track my bandwidth usage. DIscord uses a lot more bandwidth than the forums. I check the forums for a few minutes at a time on my browser but I can have Discord running whenever I want on my phone. In fact, right now I have it up on my phone at the same time I'm on my PC for this.
Im basically 99% Android Phone. I dont like Discord so I don't use that.
The ads have always shown on my phone at the top and bottom of the page, theyre usually some pervy anime game tho. Now I got those and the intrusive BBTS/Tf Source one. Id gladly pitch in to a monthly patreon to keep the lights on.

I use Discord on my phone because my 2FA app is broken. >_>
Pretty much the same for me.
