Computer [Windows & macOS] with Chrome, lots of screen and a real keyboard. iPhone to read rarely; too clumsy to formulate a significant response.

This is how it looks on my phone when I hold it in Landscape and Portrait:

And...

As you can see. it isn't very phone friendly on the Homepage. Just wait until I try to start publishing or searching... jrSmiley_84_smiley_image.gif

I usually use my computer; however, if NT had a phone app... that would be AWESOME!

I have to access NT through doing a Bing or Opera computer search.  I wish there was a way to have a dedicated icon on my opening screen to click for direct access.

What browser are you using? You should be able to have a tab always open to NT.

Browser?  I have no idea.  I open Bing, I search the word "thenewstalkers" and it will open a list, one of which is this:

Forums - The NewsTalkers

The NewsTalkers   A nonpartisan news and political forum. Speak your mind on any current news articles or publish your own articles.

I then click on "Forums - The News Talkers", and the NT site opens.

Typing this on an old Dell XPS-420 Desktop that came with Vista and IE-9. It connects to the NET via MSN.com, and can still reach most sites. I use Firefox for NT, YouTube, etc, but haven't made it the default browser

Some days I start out on Firefox and then I get a 404 error. I don't know if it's my firewall or what. I'm also having difficulty with photo links people post. All I get is html stuff and no photo.

I don't seem to have that problem with Chrome. So why don't I stick with Chrome you ask?

I mostly access NT with a Windows computer for seeding and commenting.  Occasionally I check in with an Android tablet to see what's happening.

I haven't figured out how to use mental telepathy yet so everyone is still safe.

Definitely on a Desktop.  I still use a flip phone.  May seem a bit old fashioned, but mine has been run over by a pick up truck and still functions perfectly.  Smart phones just can't do that.
