For mobile device Sifters - do you use the mobile or full version?
If you're on a mobile browser (android / iOS) VideoSift automatically delivers a slightly cut-down but easy to navigate version. This can be disabled by selecting a link in the footer.

I don't always visit VideoSift from a mobile device, but when I do I like to check Sift Talk as well. I find that difficult with the mobile version.

Can you expound on that? What specifically do you find to be difficult with browsing Sift Talk in the mobile version? If we have an idea what the problems are with it, perhaps we can improve it.
When I visit VideoSift from my mobile (which tbh is not very often), I do tend to use the mobile version for the most part. But I find myself swapping to the full version now and then simply for a bit of info that the mobile version doesn't provide, such as the list of people who voted on a vid, or some statistics on a member profile etc. Basically, information that probably shouldn't be on the mobile version anyway
I don't have a mobile phone.

Never mind, I somehow have stupidly managed to always overlook the Sift Talk link at the bottom. I still find the full page easier to navigate though, with all the links on top.
A suggestion from me would be to put some links to often used functions on top of the mobile page, instead of the bottom, if it doesn't take up too much valuable real estate.
Is it too late to add the option "I don't visit from my mobile device"?
(I do, but very very rarely...)

The if statement at the beginning of the question precludes your vote.>> ^garmachi:

I usually check how my posted videos are going, via my profile, and the recent comments... and maybe what's in beggar's canyon and unsifted. None of those things are supported in the mobile version, but for the most part they work fine on a phone in full mode (except that if you have zoomed in at all, the unsifted videos pop-up list goes off screen to the left... so it's easier to go to your profile and then queued videos).
Voting for this poll ended with the majority of users voting Full.
