Driving me nuts at the moment!

"My Stuff" has the columns ordered as Forum, then Topic
"What's new" is Topic, then Forum.

Please can you make it consistent ? (I prefer Forum first, then Topic if possible).

May I add, spoiler tags don't work in Mobile (beta) skin either.

And the folder icons are not clickable in the mobile skin, making it impossible to read untitled threads.

We are currently refreshing this skin to be the default and will make sure these points are included.

Thanks Pete - another bug discovered this morning.

Using the Mobile skin and viewing on a Desktop. In the "My Stuff" view, clicking on a member's name (e.g. last poster in a thread) results in "Oops not found", whereas doing the same in "What's New" brings up the member's profile.

Has it been taken offline? Mobile Beta on mobile is just showing full desktop for me now.

Sorry - I know the last post on this topic was 18 days ago, but I'm resurrecting it as I just had the same problem as FourWheelDrift.

My Android phone suddenly started showing PH forums in "desktop" view. The HTML being sent to the phone seemed to be for the wrong skin (different stylesheets, no viewport meta tag etc.).

I was logged in correctly (stuff like My Preferences, My Stuff etc. was working) - it was just using the wrong template - and a different template to say my iPad or Laptop.

I fixed it by clearing the cookies on my phone and logging in again.

Another annoyance with it - on a mobile device, if you request the Desktop View (which appears as an option in the mobile view), there's no way to get back to the mobile view without clearing cookies.

We are in final tweaking this week for this - so will double check this is working.

Here's a good one. Viewing "What's New" - click on the Last Contributor's name on any thread and you get the profile of the person who started the thread.

On my iPhone, I'm getting desktop view despite having selected mobile in my settings. Only started doing that this week, it worked fine before that.

Trying clearing your cookies (if possible only for pistonheads.com). I had this problem before, and I'm pretty sure it was because somehow the website had written a "desktop = yes" (or something like that) cookie to my phone, which was overriding my preference for the mobile skin.

The mobile preference is set site wide - so if you have set it on Classifieds then the site will default you to that setting for everywhere.

So if you don't fancy clearing your cookies, you can go to

That seemed to cure it. Ta.

I have gone the other way I want to see the desktop view in Safari, on my iPhone 6 but all I get is this;



I would clear cookies but don't know how to in Safari.
