Why does this site not work on my phone

Just scroll to the bottom of the site and switch to the desktop version.

But that doesn't always work either.

I am an android user and since yesterday all I get from the mobile site is 300 bad request. I can access the desktop site but it's quite difficult to read. Will there ever be a fully functioning mobile site?

Doesn't work. Keeps serving up the pointless mobile site.

Yes. There will be.

At the moment there is an opt-in mobile beta skin you can choose for the forum. This will show as the big blue skin on a large screen and a mobilized forum skin on a small screen. Hopefully soon this will be the default view for phones.

That only leaves the news site to be mobilized.

Then we can finally get rid of our third party mobile.pistonheads.com site that keeps chucking the 300 errors you mention.

When you say mobile site, do you mean mobile.pistonheads.com?

The site never links to mobile.pistonheads.com if you choose the desktop site from the bottom of the site.

If it's doing as you say then I would love to know the exact steps to reproduce what you're seeing.

I get this whatever I do. If I click "Try the desktop site", it still shows this. If I select "Switch to desktop site" in my browser, I still get this.

Google Nexus 5, Android 4.3, Chrome browser.

Very strange, Alex.

Any difference if you click this link?

Ah, I the desktop site with that link.

www.pistonheads.com/gassing/ works too.

Thanks Matt, that's much better
