417 expectation failed

Wtf does it mean and why does it plague a multi-million pound business with suitably fat margins?

I presume you're using mobile.pistonheads.com ?
Change your skin to Mobile(Beta) here -> http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/prefs.asp?h=0&a...
Then use the full site on your mobile device.

Whatever you think this is doing....isn't.

Maybe the "skin" change link is supposed to do something. And it appears to change the main site to something adaptive/responsive.

But going to forums dumps me back into the mobile site and 417 errors due posts being to long.

PS. Might be worth employing a UX designer or sacking the one you have. The mobile formatted site has awful affordance. People are used to clicking on arrows to navigate. Putting an arrow on the page and then making the text the hotspot is poor UI design.

It's an absolute pain. Always when I've taken the time to write a fairly lengthy post, or if I've quoted somebody else that has. Please sort it PH.
