For me it seems to just redirect back to the mobile forum index, regardless of what sub-forum or topic I am actually clicking the link in.

SGS2, Android 4.0.3

Instead of "Full Version", it should currently say "Home" :p

Is there a solution to this yet? I've been stuck with the full version on my SGS2 since Firefox updated a few days ago, the link just loads the homepage. I tried switching the homepage from mobile to full and back again to see if that had any effect on the forum, it did not, and damn was it a pain to go back to mobile with it loading fresh news items every time I scrolled to the bottom of the page :crazy: . I've tried clearing the browser's cache, no luck.

Actually, it's exactly the same on my desktop, Impossible to get the forum into mobile mode...

Both have their own setting, most likely your ipb (forum) cookies are borked. So the only suggestion is to delete them and try again.
On my desktop, I've just: cleared all of my cookies; logged back in; on a forum page clicked 'view mobile version' in the footer. This simply takes me to the mobile homepage, from there I opened the menu from the control in the top right, clicked forum, and it takes me to the full version of the forum... I also tried in Chrome (Firefox before), cleared cookies, cache, etc, did not login this time, same problem...

You can't view the mobile version of the forum on your desktop unless u spoof the user agent to a mobile device.

it does the same thing on mobile devices too though if you go to the full version of the forum

in other words you can't get back to the mobile version

    • EU Commission explains why Siri AI isn't launching in the EU, and Apple is to blame

      By WaltC · Posted

      The problem of course is simply that government does not always know best. My point is that agency is taken away from the EU consumer in these cases. I'm sorry, but I do not believe that governments (politicians) are inherently good, and "looking out for me." Primarily they look to themselves and their own personal desires first, foremost, and always. When the EU or the DOJ fines these companies, claiming to "represent the welfare of the consumer," how much of these billion-dollar judgments are handed to the consumers they claim to represent? Not even a dollar, as I've seen. Yet the EUC lawyers who are paid to sit around and dream up these suits make huge commissions on the fines the EUC adjudicates, which is an ironclad fact I hope everyone is aware of. It's also rank corruption, of course, but that's another topic. Last, when the EU inflicts these judgments, or the DOJ, take your pick, the costs are bundled right along in the cost of the goods and services these companies provide the consumers they are "looking out for." If you are someone who believes his government is his savior then you have my condolences. I think Apple is right here, because the whole scheme of consumer choice is that consumers pick and choose among the products companies offer. Microsoft Windows is more compatible with third party software and hardware than any desktop OS on Earth, which is my sole reason for choosing it. Just because the EUC forces companies do certain things it knows the companies do not want to do, "or else", has no bearing on consumer benefit. This Siri thing is almost idiotic it's so infantile. But this is what the EUC does when the EU in Brussels becomes cash-strapped and needs a big infusion of cash. Some people get upset by "big companies" but it's the opposite when governments dwarf the size and scope of these companies, which is so obvious it hurts.... I mean you can't honestly believe that forcing Apple to do things with Siri it has its own reasons to decline is something that "opens up" Apple, do you? Say it aint' so...

      Looks like many years since the request was made, a directory tree view finally may be added. https://github.com/files-community/Files/pull/18537

      Is it still super slow or has it improved on that area?

      There's this from last year https://gist.github.com/threat...364659a8887841aa43deca4efd9 but nothing about a buffer overflow that MS somehow can't code against. No matter what, it makes sense to take a "protected by default" approach.
