When you're running a community, do you handle most of your admin tasks on a desktop, or do you rely on your phone? Some people swear by their dual-monitor setups, while others are out here moderating from their pocket.

 

What’s your setup, and do you ever wish admin tools were even more mobile-friendly?

Desktop only, because to me it's near-impossible to use the Admin CP from your phone (using it from your tablet may be alright even with a stylus, but it's not practical).

I manage my site on my mobile phone. I’m able to do most of the tasks via my phone, but if I can’t, I tend to ask someone to help me out.

 

Somethings are hard to do via mobile, especially editing templates as the screen is smaller.

I only manage my websites on my desktop. It's too difficult to navigate things on my phone, and my desktop can handle multitasking a heck of a lot better than my Moto G 5G.

Unless I was in public and someone was spamming my board and needed to be banned, or for any other reason, I do all administration tasks on desktop. Since many of my administration tasks occasionally relate to coding, I want to save those for doing on a desktop so I don't blow up my forum.

I manage from desktop. I some times check my websites on my phone but that is just to see the activities, I don't even log into administrative account on my websites. However, sometimes I post on forums, where I am a normal user or a general staff, through my phone .

Managing from desktop is the easiest way of going through your workflow for your site. I've tried it via mobile and it felt that everything took longer and was more of a hassle to me.

Both but always try to use desktop when possible

I use my iPad Air most of the time. Some of the more technical stuff will happen on the desktop but my iPad is my go to device for most things.

Moderation?... easy on a phone for me.

 

Administration? ... only on my desktop.

I don't use a desktop, I use a laptop. My husband has a desktop that he built himself. We each have our own computer now so we can work in peace and no one is arguing over whose turn it is to use the computer.

 

But I chose desktop because I don't log in on my phone.

Both. I often check my site on mobile when I'm not home, but I use my laptop whenever I need to update any code, or create bigger posts.

I'm a hybrid user as I use both the mobile and desktop. I love the convenience of being able to respond to post and moderation on my phone but for things I couldn't do on my phone, I resort to using the desktop.
