Where's the setting to view the full site rather than mobile site? Can't find it and the mobile version is doing my head in!

Which OS/Browser are you using?

In Android/Chrome it's 3 dots in top right of browser, then 'Request Desktop Site'

Thanks.

I'm on an iphone 6s. Can't see the 3 dots at the top, or the bottom for that matter.

It's more browser than phone specific. iPhone native browser is Safari, but you can install Chrome too. Safari doesn't have the request desktop site. Chrome does.

However, these was (or still is) an issue with the text editor using Chrome on IOS. Therefore Safari is your only option.

That said, in both cases you get the same site with a mobile skin, there is no full desktop version. Very annoying.

Hi all,

The desktop site option was removed from mobile because there were a lot of formatting issues, and removing the desktop option remedied this.

I believe there is a request desktop on your browser as mentioned above, but the formatting will be all off I'm afraid!

Just tried viewing the forum on my iPod. How the hell do I change skins?

No option for it anywhere.

Where have you been?

There is only one skin now

There is a zillion page long thread called welcome to your new look forum if you want to get some background but in a nutshell the admin told us that they would be going to a single skin option and then did

I don't really care about changing the skin, the formatting isn't correct on my iPod - it's not the mobile site, so I end up scrolling around the page.

Any option to correct the poor scaling?

IPod or IPad

I get the mobile site on my phone and Ipad - I thought you could switch between desktop and mobile but I need to look again

iPod. As in the music device. Not the tablet.

Can they at least add all the desktop available filters like min BHP into the mobile version of the classifieds? Drives me crazy.
