How do I post a Mefi post or ask an AskMe question from my phone or tablet?
Metafilter has a lot of display preferences and there are differences among them. One difference is how to post a new question or make a new post from mobile.
On Modern theme Mobile view, the New post/New question link should be under the "person icon" menu at the top right.
On Classic or Plain theme Mobile view, there is no New post/New question function. There are two options if you're in Classic Mobile:
- switch to Modern theme temporarily in your Preferences page on your device, post your question, and then switch back to Classic. (These preferences are set per-device, so it won't switch your preference on your computer.)
- switch to the Standard (i.e. non-mobile) view of the site temporarily by using the link at the very bottom of the page, post your question, and then switch back to Classic Mobile by clicking this link: mobile.metafilter.com
