Thread: Updates Do Not Always Improve Software...

Alright, dear sirs, omnipotent forum admins... who broke the site for mobile users??

Today, the site showed me the mobile version, and had me logged out. I figured it would return to my preference of the full site once I logged in... nope! The link for "Full Site" at the bottom of every page did NOT in fact take me to the full version. It just reloaded the mobile version of the main forum index.

I used my browser's "Request Desktop Site" to finally reach the full site. Incidentally when using the mobile site, once you go through a couple of workarounds to find your account settings, it tells you "This content is only available through the full site..." !! I was trying to check my settings so as to make sure they weren't changed to use the mobile site.

I figure some of the site software was updated, aand now it forces the mobile site upon those of use using a phone/tablet browser. What's the deal?

With respect,
Chris R.

I'm not sure how widespread that issue is - I just tried the mobile version for the first time: logged in, selected full site, and it seems to be showing me the full site as intended

Chris, I have not heard of a site change recently.

Bizarrely, it seems to have been resolved with no intervention ...

I revisited the site within an hour of starting this thread, and had none of the previous issues . I didn't post about it yet because I was waiting to see how repeatable it was. I seem to be an idiot savant with glitches!!! Websites, videogames, apps, you name it!

"Move along. Nothing to see here..."
