Title: Smartphones and IP.
Post by: Salty on November 03, 2010, 07:27:57 PM
I didn't want to post this in that fail thread. I didn't want to come off pedantic and plus...well the smell in there is atrocious.

When I post from my phone the little icon shows me posting from a PC. If I start a topic it shows me posting from my phone. From what I've observed other smartphones always show up as a phone.

Is my IP address the same when I post from my phone no matter where I'm at on the network?
Of course it would be different using wifi.

For example the post and the OP don't have the phone symbol but I am in fact posting from my phone in both instances.

Smf recognises some smart phones (Suu always shows up with a phone icon by her post when she is using it).
It probably doesn't work for all of them.
