I've given up on using the mobile site and just view the full size page instead.

I got an error everytime I tried to post a post, very annoying after spending the time on writing a long post, to find you can't post it.

Have just had a play and whilst I can browse the site again, it doesn't quite work as well as the proper mobile site. Things like nested quotes are off the edge (it's not paginating to fit the width, ie. making the quote 'taller') and there's a lot of blank space on the screen even though the text size is small.

It's workable but the old mobile site is pretty good when it's working properly (apart from a few things I've learned to live without or work around over time).

Please let me know when the mobile site proper is back up and running as I'd like to go back to that. Thanks anyway though Switch.

The mobile site proper as you call is will be getting killed off and this reactive design implemented in its place. the style/look and feel are not being worked on currently. Merely the functionality.

Oh well, that's a shame. Thanks for the heads-up anyway.

Mine occasionally does this due to cookies. Once cleared it's fine.

I had a problem with the mobile site for the last couple of days, would not accept username and password, despite me trying dozens of times extremely carefully for typos, so 1000% sure I was entering them correctly.

Tried just now and got in first time, so working again.

Just me, or anyone else? (mobile.pistonheads.com on an Iphone 4)

I think any mobile Login jumps to the members page anyway. Working now, so hey ho.

Nope. It looks the same, but you need to access it via the Members link.

My iPhone has stopped working properly with Pistonheads. If I try the Pistonheads address I get a page won't open, too many redirects message. If I click off a daily news email it is fine.

If I try to go onto the forums from the homepage it gives the same message, but if I open the 'discussion' from a news story it is fine. I can then navigate the forums from there.

If I try to leave the forums and go to the homepage I get the same error message.

I haven't been able to view Classifieds for over a week.

I tried clearing the Cookies and Data as suggested but rather than cure the problem it just closed the other 2 panes I had open then when I tried PH got the same message again. Is this to do with the mobile re-design stuff???

Should mention this is all from the full site, as I don't like the mobile layout, although mobile site isn't loading anyway.
