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

    • Windows 11's big performance boost is finally available for all

      It is silly there is no simple way to check whether this profile has been activated. CFRs are normal, but trying to even hide the fact if it's on / off seems silly, especially for something so user-facing. Surely Microsoft is "proud" of their engineering efforts on this one and ought to display it somwhere in the GUI.

      Many Linux distros are not known for excellent battery life, so I'm not sure that is the best example. A more apt example may be Apple, but Apple's CPUs are simply far more efficient than Intel & AMD at single-threaded tasks like these, so "boosting" is not as power-hungry and less heat-inducing. Not to mention Apple will hardly engage P-cores for basic UI tasks; they use a pretty complicated QoS scheme to only activate P-cores for more serious workloads like HTML / JS execution or decompression or application launch. Microsoft is (smartly) doing it for launch, but also for UI tasks, which is the more nonsensical part: why ... do Windows 11's UIs need modern CPUs to boost? It should load so quickly that there's not even time for the CPU to boost.

      I've not seen any controlled testing and, judging by Microsoft's mentality, within a year, they'll have added so much more bloat, it'll undo any perceptible latency benefit and we'll have boosted the CPU clocks for nothing.

      It depends: heat soak is a thing. Initially on cold boot-up, the heatsinks & heatpipes are at ambient temp. After heatsinks & heatpipes warm up (through normal usage), they don't immediately cool to ambient temp when the load goes away. So their baseline is higher and the trigger point for fans is much less stress. Add a few more CPU spikes → it's too hot to stay at the same fan RPM → fans get triggered to start up up much sooner / get triggered to ramp much more quickly.
    • Euro-Office must default to ODF to be considered "genuinely European", LibreOffice argues

      Can LibreOffice just shut up and worry about themselves and stop comparing themselves? Do we see Microsoft complaining about euro office?
