Mobile site vs Full site help

darkrunner · Aug 02, 2011 at 05:02 AM

The Mobile option isn't available from the Quck Style Chooser at the bottom of the page. I had to go into my Profile settings to select.

But it did change it on the computer as well. I liked it before when I could have one skin on the computer and the Mobile skin on my phone. I guess that's because it was changed it to stop automatically detect mobile use?

Edit: No, this isn't going to work. Now all my hidden forums are showing again. I can't change this every single time. This really sucks. Really really sucks.

Which phone are you using Sabrina?

It's working fine on my iphone 4.

I have a blackberry curve. The forum is so small it is completely illegible and zooming in makes it unavigable. It is also incredibly slow.

I went in on my phone (force of habit) and it is once again showing the forum in mobile. Which is of course what I wanted. So if a change was made. Thank you.

hey the other day I was on mobile and it was full site, now today I'm on mobile and its back to how it was old format. Not a real complaint but I didn't change anything, I liked the full site on this phone cuz I could use the thanks button, but I know soon I'll be switching back to my lil phone which Idk if it'll work here but know it'll need the old format if it does.
Any who, things still being worked out or do we now need to choose the setting, I'll see if I can click on the link posted earlier.

Same here, beauflow. I don't know what happened. Well, at least I got to enjoy a few hours the other day of the full site on my phone. I was so happy to be able to use all the site's features, but it's gone back to mobile again. Can someone share what happened?

DocJohn · Aug 04, 2011 at 06:33 AM

We had to change it back; our default here is to not make a change that will make the forums unusable for any existing member.

If you post what device you're trying to view the forums on and prefer a full experience, versus the mobile site, we may be able to put in exceptions that allow you to see that.

Thanks,
DocJohn

I have an iPhone 3G. Thanks!

beauflow · Aug 04, 2011 at 08:39 AM

makes complete since Dr.Jon, I'd rather be able to see rather than not as sure with others.
Idk I'm going back to my lg420 soon, which has internet access but Idk some sites are too big for it, it told me in the past, I'll just have to see when I get on it.. But if anyone knows just so I have an idea would be awesome!

Right now I'm using a nokia E71, but its only for a few weeks (I think).

Just as long as I can read ad reply that's all I need right now, but thank you!

beauflow · Aug 16, 2011 at 04:52 AM

Yay:-) i can still get on with my old little phone

makes me happy

need to do some repair and or sell my newer phone and was worried about the lg 420g phone.

Wren_ · Aug 16, 2011 at 07:33 PM

Mines always shown the mobile site; now suddenly it shows the full version which is much harder to read .... is there a way to change back to mobile?

DocJohn · Aug 16, 2011 at 07:55 PM

What phone are you using?

Wren_ · Aug 16, 2011 at 08:05 PM

it's actually on my ipod touch since i don't have a mobile phone

but it worked with the mobile version until this morning

Wren_ · Aug 22, 2011 at 07:23 AM

anyone? it's still showing the full site and not the mobile, thanks

DocJohn · Aug 22, 2011 at 08:41 AM

The iPod was removed from the full experience a week or so ago, you should not be getting the full experience. If there's a way to refresh the cache on the iPod, I wonder if that's the issue...

unaluna · Aug 22, 2011 at 11:26 AM

Any chance of me getting the "full experience" back on my Treo? I think not being able to say or see thanks, or my other little messages, is depressing me!

hankster, i wish we could swap

sugahorse1 · Aug 31, 2011 at 03:45 AM

I had the full website for a day or 2 as well. Really liked it.
I have a Blackberry Bold

sugahorse1 · Aug 31, 2011 at 07:24 AM

I've messed around with my settings that I now have the mobile version on my Blackberry (would like the full version ideally), but I've now messed up my time-zone! The time listed is 2 hours behind what it really is... Lol
