I'm having a bit of trouble finding the option to go back to the Forums' desktop version from the mobile version.
Any ideas?

In the URL box type www.neowin.net/full

and voila, you are back on desktop version!

Thanks for the quick reply.

I'm still getting the mobile theme in the forums (which is great btw), its just nice to have the choice.
Using Safari on iPad.

All I'm getting at the bottom is English(USA)

Okay, I get this problem sometimes too (on iPod).

Close all your Neowin tabs on Safari. Go to Home. Then by double-clicking on the Home button, close Safari in multi-tasking bar.

That worked for me.

How do I get the full forum on the iPhone? Tapping 'Full Version' doesn't work and clearing cookies and other data doesn't work either.
Only the full front page works when going to neowin.net/full.

Have you tried FMH's suggestion (see here)?

I'm having the same problem on two iPhones, one iPod touch and one Blackberry. Unless i'm doing something wrong?

Delete cookies for neowin then, see if that helps.

Already tried that. See post #9.
Switching between full and mobile works fine on desktop and tablet. It only seems to be a problem on phones.
