I have seen a few people logging in with "mobile" usernames or "at work" usernames. Essentially it's your username but mobile or at work.
Example:
scottinnj mobile
scottinnj at work
Is this just etiquette, a proper way to let people know where you are?
The reason I am asking, is I just got a smartphone, and can post no matter where. Would it be in bad taste to make a "scottinnj mobile?" Or should I just use my regular name.

they need different account settings at work, such as no sig pics, so they just create a new account instead of changing their settings twice a day

When I post from my phone there is no sig pic, when I post from my computer there is one.
Thats how you can tell.
Oh, look at me. giving away secrets and shit.

It gets to be annoying. It just is.
The only reason I created "GvacMobile" is because I'm not in a WiFi area most of the day so my phone is set to not load pictures or embedded videos.
When I get home and log in under "Gvac" I can then click "New Posts" and have the threads I visited under my mobile account still show up as unread.
It's all very silly, really.
