Member's signature not visible on mobile devices?

O no. There goes my postulation already.
I have much more room, meaning redundancy is less objectionable. A mobile screen is a really focused thing. My desktop has probably a dozen of windows open, and even more browser tabs. It’s much easier to filter out the relevant information. I won’t say a signature has no value. But it would be one of the things to go if one needs the screen real estate to focus on the important things.

I hear you but desktop is dying and mobile is soon going to be left the only device standing. I personally hate browsing on a mobile but I hate it more if ASR dies because it only caters for a dying platform. I’m not saying hidden signatures is the cause for it to die but if we fail to adopt to mobile first, it will at the end.
A bit of a slippery slope there. Solution: get rid of signatures completely, all that noise should just go into the "About" area of your member profile.
It would be interesting to see what percentage of ASR users actually uses a mobile mostly? Since ASR members are mostly old kooks, I doubt the mobile first mantra will be relevant the next decade or so
Possibly @amirm can enlighten us?

Then isn’t it more pressing then to switch to mobile first sooner in order to catch young blood?It would be interesting to see what percentage of ASR users actually uses a mobile mostly? Since ASR members are mostly old kooks, I doubt the mobile first mantra will be relevant the next decade or so
Looks like the mobile first strategy has been dead for about a decade:

Ha! Tell that to Google, Facebook, TikTok, Shein, etc. Data doesn’t lie.
Facebook has 98.5% of its users accessing the website with a mobile device, and 81.5% of those users only use a phone to access the social network. Users with both desktop and mobile are 16.7%, while desktop-only users are a mere 1.5%

Have you browsed TikTok on your desktop?
I have never TikTok’ed anything, and I’d like to keep it that way
In any case, I don’t see why we need ASR to compete with TikTok or Facebook. From the many audio forums, the mobile experience of ASR is one of the best IMHO. I don’t think ASR has something to worry about in that regard.

So far as I read your posts I understood that it’s all about you. Whereas, I believe in community and the greater good for many.I have never TikTok’ed anything, and I’d like to keep it that way
We disagree fully and I leave this sub-thread at this point.

I’m 72.
But not in democracy evidently… You label your personal preference as “logical” and then dismiss any need for further input,
If there is one thing non-existent in UX, then it is logic. Not for nothing A-B testing is the prevailing method to check what users like, and what not. The results can sometimes be counterintuitive. Therefore changes like this should always be done very carefully. You might just end up making the site engagement decrease by enabling mobile signatures.
Yeah, so this alone may already lead to less engagement, leading to people not coming back. A simple color change of a button may also do that…
The point is: we don’t know what the effect will be! So yes, the community decides what works, not me, you, or supposed logic.

The link is meant as a reference view on mobile first from a company that has last posted on Facebook and last Tweeted in 2018, four years ago! They have 193 Twitter followers and there are just three people on LinkedIn. My family corner shop has more followers and more things to say. The only two reviews are from four and five years ago. You decide on how valuable their ideas on web design, one of the fastest changing platforms.
