Hi everyone!

Sorry if I sound like a prick, but I hate the new mobile view. Problem is, I can't find a way to switch back to desktop view. I tried to look in the my kvr option or click on request desktop in chrome (I'm using android, btw) but nothing works.

Thanks in advance for any help :)

A lot of txt overlaps too, totally unusable in some areas.

Looking great on my fone. I can finally read stuff for the first time since Xmas.

Nice.

I don't think there's much you can do. Mobile devices aren't served a specific mobile version (you could fix that by using the "desktop version" switch some mobile browsers have). Instead, the design is responsive, ie it automatically adapts to the display size of the device. As long as the header <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1"> is there, you are stuck with the device's resolution.

The "mobile" size needs a couple of fixes (the latest-post table is cut off to the site), but it's not too bad so far. It would be cool to have an option to adjust the responsiveness (disable it or set a minimum breakpoint), though.

On a narrow screen the what's new bar should be available by clicking the "New @" Button that appears near the top of the screen (below the member bar)

Could you tell me where?

I think the latest posts page is the most obvious one that needs work.

Doesnt work on my Galaxy Note ... Android using Dolphin. :help:

[Edit] it works now, but the sidebar appears on top of the forum rather than as a sidebar(?)

I think it's supposed to appear on top, as on the mobile view you don't want to side scroll much.
