Seriously, you should pick up a couple of cheap laptops. Mobile "phones" are seriously toxic. They inherently distract people, and make serious discussion and associated research difficult to impossible. The level of discussion on internet forums has plummeted as "phones" have come to dominate. People don't even realize how much their intellects are being stifled by these things. The rise of the mindless "woke" and "cancel" culture and "trans" insanity has been greatly boosted by these infernal "phones".
I've found this eBay seller to be very reliable http://www.ebaystores.com/Aventis-Systems They mainly resell used computers they buy in bulk from companies that are upgrading what they provide to employees. They also have a bricks-and-morter location in the US, and are genuinely reachable and responsive. Over the years, I've bought 3 laptops from them. Pretty sure they're still willing to customize a bit from what's listed.
Thanks for the link. I will look at it. I have notified I miss a whole heck of a lot being on a mobile. But I also can’t sit still. I move from place to place to place. I am thinking one of those laptops might work for me. We do have other laptops, they are just bug and heavy. And other tablets, but I’m not familiar with them. I just started getting online and into forums in 2020. Before then, it was just 2016 and comment sections. So I am a total newbie
There are probably lots of other good computer sellers on eBay. The one I linked is just the only one I can personally vouch for.

Maybe this tendency is being promoted by the "smart"phone. It also occurred to me that part of the no-pinging phenomenon may be attributable to the near-impossibility of precise typing on these phones that are always thinking they know what you meant to type. Lots of oddly-spelled usernames, and also lots of very similar usernames on forums like this.
I’ve never been into more than just passing fun and information being on here. Sometimes I have to put it down, but I’m on here way more than I should be. Research is triple hard this way, I do know that, but I’ve found workarounds, and have had help learning how to archive, pm, direct quote, etc. There is an ask.win on the sidebar. It has helped me. I guess I don’t really understand the pinging part you’re talking about. I don’t hide anything bc I may say stupid stuff, but never illegal or red flag stuff. People who do that, to me, have be insanely stupid. Or doing it on purpose to goad others or make the site look bad.
