<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Curtisimo, post: 8074287, member: 83845&quot;]I think that it is a bit misleading to label CT as less academic just because it gets more showcase type threads and posts (what’s wrong with showing off coins? <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />). Also, when a post slips off the first page that doesn’t mean that it is unavailable or even difficult to find. When I start researching a new coin, Google pulls up helpful CoinTalk articles in about the same proportion as FORVM resources.&nbsp; Both are excellent resources with tons of useful information, academic and otherwise. I am a member of both and wish them both continued success. Each has their strength.&nbsp; FORVM’s fakes database is unparalleled in its usefulness as is the hosting of content like Doug’s webpages. </p><p><br /></p><p>The reason I post more here and not over there is the ease of use of the site and the user interface. CT is easy to use, intuitive and has good multi-media capabilities whether you are on a computer or mobile device. FORVM has improved a lot but it’s still not as easy to use, particularly on a mobile device. It doesn’t scale properly on mobile and I end up having to zoom in and out constantly if I want to read the content.&nbsp; For comparison see below for what each looks like when I pull them up to browse on my mobile device. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1401340[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1401341[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Such considerations might not matter to those who only browse on a PC or who have become accustomed to the site but for new members and people who use multiple devices I really think ease of use can’t be overestimated.&nbsp; Especially since we are talking about how people spend their free / hobby-enjoyment time. </p><p><br /></p><p>The above is not meant as a negative commentary on FORVM.&nbsp; As I said I think it is great. It’s just my honest feedback on site usability that I think might be relevant. </p><p><br /></p><p>As an added note I have noticed you posting more recently which has been nice <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
