Was curious if someone could tell me an easier way to close browser on phone rather than having to hit the back button till it closes? Any help would he appreciated!

Also curious how to go about adding a sign for when I post from my phone like some phones have when poating from there phone? If that makes sense.

You don't have to hit the back button. Just hit the home button.
 
Yeah I noticed that, however when you open the browser it opens up where you were last at. Is there a way around that?
 
Yeah. I figured there was a different way of closing the browser ontop of getting it to open up to new page haha.

Anyway you know how to tell those i am posting by phone?

I am assuming that you are referring only to this site. The website doesn't differentiate with how you access it, via PC or phone. So no matter how you post, PC or phone, your signature will be the,same.

Towards the top, left of the page, click User CP. Look down the column on the left and click Edit Signature.

If you add a bookmark for say Google.com and give it a name of "Internet". On your home screen you could Add A Shortcut, then choose Bookmark and pick your recently chosen bookmark, "Internet". Then whenever you press this icon, it opens to Google.com.
 
Yeah I prefer how the Dolphin browser lets you exit by holding the back button until the exit prompt appears. Doing that in the stock browser brings up history. The only way to really exit the stock browser is to keep hitting back until it exits but this is tedious. I guess they feel you don't need to close the browser but I'm one of those people who doesn't like to leave apps open if I'm not using them.
