A General Question - Need Your Input!
I am in the process of remaking my website from the ground up to include responsive versions for desktop/laptop computers, tablets, and smartphones. I was wondering briefly which devices do you visit my website specifically with and which device is your main one for viewing my website. I truly appreciate your assistance!

I use primarily my tablet (iPad) when I'm traveling and my laptop (Mac) when at home or if I am posting on the forum. I will occasionally use my smartphone (iPhone). I realize that probably doesn't narrow it down for you, but I do interchange the use of the various devices. I'm looking forward to see what you have in mind for the new website. The existing website has worked well for me and especially like the number of pictures included on the products page and the sheer variety of the various departments including the Videos and the Forum. Neither are typical for a manufacturers website but definitely lend to the "community" feel.

I use a desk PC running Windows 7 but will upgrade to Windows 10. When traveling overseas I use a Samsung Android tablet. Being fortunate, read deaf, I do not have a mobile phone.
My main device is a laptop. I also have the site on my android phone and I look in when I am killing time somewhere.
I've only been a member since April 2016, and my experience accessing SWSM is...
usually: PC running Windows 10;
occasionally: iPad;
rarely: Samsung G5 w/Android 6.
All are without a hitch. Terrific site!
I typically access your website with my laptop (Macbook Pro retina display). It's plugged into a 27" hi-res display when it is docked at home, otherwise stand-alone. Very occasionally I'll use my iPhone for access when I'm traveling light (no laptop).
Never had a hitch on all 3 devices.

I am so excited about my new website. When I'm done (not sure when, no rush!) I am moving to a dedicated server and it is sooooo fast. The shopping cart is amazing and incredibly secure. Wait till you see the new forum. Everything transfers over, every comment and picture - but its sleeker, faster, and picture posting is so simple. I'll keep you all updated and eventually post a link to my test server.
Sometimes when a thread shows it has new entries and I click to see them, where I wind up may depend on whether the new entries caused the thread to go to an additional page. Once in a while instead of going to the first new post I will be positioned to the top of the new page and have to back up to the previous page and scroll down to see what got jumped over.
Also some times when the page comes up the embedded photos will be enormous, not fitting on the screen; if I reload the page they shrink down to the size they should be.
