I haven't been supporting this site with my donations for 20+ years because it yields an ROI. Sure, I want my investments to produce a return, it's the capitalist system. That doesn't mean our ends are at odds. I would, though, ask that you not attribute to your allies the attributes of your enemies whomever they may be. Doing so will not work out great for our movement in the end.

In the spirit of Charlie Kirk, allow me just point out that this site is not mobile friendly and, like it or not, that is where young ppl live. We need to engage with the future and not just the past. I understand where you are coming but new users shouldn't need to know how to format HTML to post here in a manner suited to their desire. I mean, have you tried to use FR on your mobile phone cause it ain't great.

Be stubborn all you want but how does that advance the conservative movement?

Funny you should say that. I made the very post you are responding to (#33 above) on my old iPhone SE2020, small screen and all, sitting in my recliner. I used the mic voice input and then made corrections manually since Siri is not 100% accurate.

Personally I find the FR site entirely acceptable on my phone, and my iPad, and my computers. With one limitation: As you point out, doing hand-coded HTML on a cellphone is tedious because of the tag punctuation.

However, I have done exactly that, many times, e.g. posting to the Windows Ping list I run, with graphics and all the rest, from the phone. Granted, I much prefer doing that kind of work on the tablet or a computer. I've created from-scratch websites for 30 years, and I'm fairly patient by nature, but I do have my limits.

Modern glitzy websites are mostly a disaster on a phone. So-called "mobile friendly" web coding is horse poop unless it's done extremely carefully and tested on a wide range of mobiles. And that costs money, so it rarely happens in reality. Business is tight.

I get where you're coming from. But at this point in FR's lifetime, the 1990's user interface still works for most of the people who still use it, and I would say, it probably works better than a more "modern" interface would, for a lot of the long-time members.

I passed my 20-year FR anniversary the middle of last year. I'm fairly typical of the older members (I'm 74). I spend time on FR because it's quiet. It holds still while I read it, it doesn't scream at me with flashing graphics, it doesn't have ads that cover the content, and it works acceptably on every computer and mobile device I have: phones, tablets, Windows, Mac, and LInux computers.

If I want to visit a site that jumps around, screams at me, and has obnoxious ads, Lord knows there are plenty of those to choose from.

... this site is not mobile friendly...

I had ATT so my hotspot worked fine and I could post with my laptop. When I switched to a cheaper provider with the same phone my Hotspot capabilities died. I have been forced to use a mobile for years now and have become quite use to posting here with it . One trick I use is to write something using my phone's note section then copy and post the entire essay here.
