I tell you whats pissing me off the most on the forced mobile view, the issue of not being able to jump to where you last viewed a thread!
If I open one that I'm following it puts you at the start of it.
One link at the top will take you to the very end, but nothing else.
What if there has been a few pages of replies since I last visited?
You have to sit there clicking previous page over and over again.

te. My time spent on PH has dropped dramatically over the last monthMore annoying is when a mobile page loads, but then loads the ad and throws you back to the top of the page. You have to remember not to click anything until the second page load is complete. Otherwise, you look at the page, it flickers and you realise you have selected something you didn't want.
I must admit that I don't really bother with PH unless there is something specific I want to talk about, of if I'm really bored at work like now. I don't do casual browsing anymore.

I don't have any bookmarks when I first click on the tab, if I leave it about 6 or 7 seconds they all appear.
Didn't realised that was what happened. Just tried and timed it. 33 seconds to load!k can a skin change cause that kind of delay?33 seconds is an eternity on modern hardware.

What do you think to these reports?
People not using the site for things which can easily be fixed -- EG allowing a Desktop view.
Can we have some feedback please, as loyal users I think that's the least we deserve ;-)
As it happens I requested an update yesterday, and as such there is a meeting happening tomorrow (Thursday). After this I am hopeful that we'll have a better understanding of how things are moving forwards. Regarding the feedback to you guys, as I mentioned before it has been agreed internally that all the updates will come from the Dev team, and as such we'll need them to construct a response / update (although I will obviously remind them that people are keen for more information ASAP)What do you think to these reports?

Can you impress upon the development team that the addition of "Desktop site" on Mobile devices would make things a lot, lot better for many people.

When you delete a response it goes back to the desktop version so it's in there somewhere! Just let us see it! So close yet so far!
If you shrink the width of the browser window when using a desktop, then at around 763 pixels width it switches to mobile view. So I would imagine that enabling desktop view on mobile would be a simple case of lowering that switchover value to zero. ClockworkCupcake said:

How do you suggest they fix it?
Maybe you should ask the PH Team - they appear to have done so. 
They obviously didn't find a silver bullet either then.

They've removed the Content-Security-Policy header. Which is a downgrade in security and will give mixed content warnings, or display the site as though it's as insecure as http.
You're right - I've just noticed that the security icon in Firefox is now a padlock with a yellow warning triangle over it. This gives the text "Parts of this page are not secure (such as images)".
I would suggest that this is probably acceptable though, especially when compared to the alternative which is broken links for http images.
