If moving platforms or signing up - laptops or tablets are always going to be easier

If you are trying to explore new forums, threads, social media in order to migrate, I would advise not using a phone, if you have other options. Even using family or friend's tech to sign up and explore will be easier to get a feel for the structure of new places. A bigger screen means you will see more of the structure - buttons, motorbikes, tick boxes not so small. 

I'd also say to take your time. Rushing and worrying is sure to make the process harder. All new tech comes with frustrations. You are not alone in that.

Just a perspective to consider.

Go gently. Best wishes.

    Really good point, @Fire
    How can you lie there and think of England
    When you don't even know who's in the team

    I'm on a nice big ipad ... and still had to do 3 loads of captchas! 😂  I just don't think like an AI.  If they say "stairs", I assume risers and treads matter.

    Still probably easier to see than a phone. Yes, captchas are a PITA. It seems they do work as platforms continue to use them. It's akward, but sites do need some kind of security filter.

    Give them some slack... The site is old and they are working for the love of it.... Definitely looking on a big screen is great advice!

    Some people have been noting that font size on other platforms like GC seem to be small. Remember that on a laptop etc you can always zoom in or out. On a Mac the way to zoom is Command + or -
    The zoom level then should stay the way you left it, for future use.
    Windows will have an equivalent
