Not sure if I'm missing something, but is there actually a way to use the full site on mobile now? The button is at the bottom of the page... but I can no longer get to the bottom of the page thanks to the infinity scrolling "feature". It means I can't read any posts with Wikis in them anymore

Accessing (Fare Gone) AA/JAL: TPE - SJC/SAC (~1.25 cpm) ?? from a Google search on my iPhone 6s running the latest iOS brought forth a malformed page not using the new platform. I was not signed in to my account.

Way to Mark Fora "Read" on Mobile Devices
When I'm on my MacBook, I can simply "double tap" on any forum's "Plane/Globe" Icon, and that marks the entire forum as "read".
Any way to do this on mobile devices - but while still using the desktop version of the site?
For example, I use an iPad Pro at work. I've got the Smart Cover w/Keyoard, but still, at times, use the touch screen. If I double tap said icon, I only end up zooming in, and not marking it as read.
Any workaround? Am I missing something?

it is under forum tools, but when using desktop site on mobile device i often (vast majority of the time) experience a problem: clicking forum tools works fine, but menu clicks off when i try to click mark forum read.
i actually never noticed the (double clicking) plane/globe thing when IB added it!

It's probably a typical IB mobile problem.
The irony is on the recent 'If I Ran FT' thread, they said they consider input & do a poll. Not sure they need a poll when the #1 complaint technology wise was the sucky/horrible mobile experience on FT. And it would be stoo-pid to do a poll on it unless they have a timeline to address it (which, given we've been waiting for years isn't likely soon).
Cheers.

Using Android and Chrome, the Forum Tools menu often displays to the right of the threads display, and one must scroll right and down a bit to access it. If one does this quickly, there's no problem; if one hesitates because one is unsure what occurred, thd Forum Tools menu disappears after a few seconds, iirc.

I'm also in the category of "didn't know this was a thing". I've seen the globe icon and that they turned dim when I've read all the threads in a forum, but I had no idea you could just double-click the icon to turn it dim. Great feature!
