"Full Version" link on mobile forum doesn't load full version


Recommended Posts

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

    • I just started using Teams (and “New” Oiutlook) at work (instead of Slack) and both are truly abysmal pieces of software.
    • If you are willing to go to approx $200, then as mentioned in your other thread I think a refurbished Pixel 8 will be a great deal that will last you for years. I recently recommended that to someone at work, he was on a strict £200 budget, which got him an excellent conditioned refurbished Pixel 8 here. He's since told me its the best phone he's ever had and feels its a massive upgrade over his old Samsung A series device. I don't know the sites which deal in refurbished devices in the US, however I’m sure you will have some options like we do here. Failing that Ebay is also quite good in my experience. If you wanted something a bit cheaper, then you could maybe go for an older Pixel 7, these will still get security updates until the end of 2027. Even after that you have good third party OS support from LineageOS. It doesn't have to be a Pixel though, you can buy many older devices for a good deal that would be better than a new $100 phone and flash LineageOS to them: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/
    • I don't use one drive, but then I don't use any cloud storage, not even Icloud on my mac. If I did use cloud storage, then I would not use One drive, not because there is anything wrong with it, but because I can use Icloud. The only reason I see to use one drive is if your job requires you to have access to it
    • Not built in, which is not a bad thing. There are ways of adding cloud storage to it, Dropbox is the most well know that also have a client for Linux, but there are others.
