Can't understand it, my Sony Xperia automatically viewed PH in mobile, but my Desire shows a 'fit to screen ' full fat version.

Google defaults to mobile,

Browser setting?

I remember Mini Opera has a setting to force full websites rather than mobile what does the Desire use?

Don't know FWD, but it uses other mobile sites, Google for example without being 'told' to.

Sorted, sort of. Thanks FG.

Typed in the mobile site and bookmarked it.

As others have said, if you want the mobile site then m.pistonheads.com[/url] or [url]mobile.pistonheads... will get you there. You can also jump backwards and forwards by changing the "www." in the url for "m." or vice versa. For example this thread on the mobile site is: http://m.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&amp...

My advice though (as a fellow Desire owner) is that the best combination is to go in to your preferences (http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/prefs.asp?h=0) and switch your forum skin to "Big Blue" then use the full site rather than the mobile one. The screen on the Desire (and iPhone 4) is big enough to cope with the full layout, and "Big Blue" does not have the drop down menus of "PH Classic" which makes it fully usable on a touch screen.
