Can't disable mobile version of site

Post by brien »

Really annoying. Browsing the forum on the iPad is cumbersome as, even if I set the theme to the non-mobile one, phpBB forces me to use the mobile theme.

I have complained about this before. I want the option to go on the full site using my mobile device, especially like Brien said, using the iPad.

I know Brent looked into this. I'm guessing it was more than a simple fix or he would have implemented it but yes, this site sucks on an iPad.

Ditto. I'm another iPad user and it sucks.

Besides the iPad issue, I just prefer the full site on my iPhone. There's dates of each posts and finding older posts which are easier to find on the full site. The mobile site is nice and easier to read on a phone but I like options. (I tell my wife the same thing and she says, no.)

On the iPad again today while traveling and this mobile version stinks!

On a brighter note, Catalina is beautiful today!

Awesome! Brent made a change and the normal site now comes up on the iPad.

Thank You!
