Our host's development team has come to us with a few questions regarding the use of the forum on the mobile site. This team has been a great help to us already, and I'd like to be able to help them in return. If you use the forum in any capacity on your mobile device, please share your feedback by answering the questions below (the important ones are bolded). Replies are needed no later than February 7, 2020 so I can compile them and return the responses to the team.
This is your chance to provide input on mobile usage for future improvement. If you do not feel comfortable leaving a comment on the forum, you can feel free to email us with your answers at queryconnection@gmail.com
