Mobile skin - desktop view

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.feef said:
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
