mobile version is junk

[noob2222]

Can we at least get a redirect option for the mobile forum. You cant reply to posts, cant see updated threads, cant quick edit, cant preview, etc.

Most importantly is the fact that you CAN'T GET TO A DESKTOP VERSION. Even with a force to desktop on my browser all I can get is this weak mobile version that is complete junk.

I can get to a desktop version of the main toms hardware page, but forums is redirected to this almost unusable state.

If you have an iPhone like me, try using Chrome app, and Request Desktop Site. Then it is the same PC experience that is on mobile. Some third party apps like DOWNLOADS have a spoofing setting where spoofs your device as a firefox or Internet Explorer browser, letting you always view the full desktop sites.

Note 3. Chrome and the default browser have the force to desktop option. Neither work.

Good points, guys. I'll forward this along to the devs. I've actually encountered this issue once before myself, but saw it as just a problem with the quirky nature of my Windows phone.

The mobile-esque version is actually triggered by browser size. Resize your browser to a small size on your desktop and you will see what I mean.

And for me it mostly works with some problems.

Yes the mobile site is the same as the main site, it's just the styling which alters the layout based on browser width as smeezekitty said. The only exception is the home page, which does not behave like the rest of the site and has a "real" mobile version.
