Are you referring to the mobile app, or using the web site on a mobile?

Also, some forums allow you to post anonymously and some don't. So are you sure that your issue is because you're using a mobile? What forum are you trying to post anonymously in?

I'm referring to the mobile app.

I'm not really sure how to select a forum I'm just using the "create post" button.

Yeah, the app is a confusing place to be. Near the top are a series of general sections: Study help, Uni courses, Universities, etc.

If you swipe through those and click on one, you can then click the Topics button at the bottom to see the list of forums in that section (and no, I've no idea why they decided to rename forums to topics).

Once you've picked a topic, you can pick a sub-forum (sorry, sub-topic).

The very fact that all this need to be explained makes it clear that the app has failed when it comes to user interface design.

You'll have must better experience by just visiting www.thestudentroom.co.uk in your favourite web browser.
