This is getting on my nerves now guys. I always end up being taken to the mobile site, and then when I click a link to the forums or a news feature, that too is a mobile page.

I don't know if it is because I have an android phone and use Google Chrome on both my mobile and my PC, but I thought it worth reporting the issue.

Happens to me quite a lot, although I don't think using IE6 helps much!

I use the www.pistonheads.com URL. Basically I get the mobile site if I go to the front page. If I then go into the forums and manually change the URL to remove the mobile. part at the beginning it will take me to the desktop forums.

If I then try to click on the Pistonheads part of PistonHeads > Gassing Station > General Gassing > at the top of a forum page, it still takes me back to the mobile site.

If I click on the front page to switch to desktop, it still takes me to the mobile homepage the next time I go onto it. Bizarre.

That is very odd. Could you confirm what browser you're using, and if possible what window size? Thanks

Chrome. Both on mobile and desktop and signed into my Google account, which is why I think perhaps it confuses the system.

Running on a 1280 x 1024 monitor at work. Which sucks.
