Mobile vs. Desktop Mode
Hi,
Using safari on iOS mobile. When opening subfora or threads the browser switches automatically back to desktop view all the time. |
No such option is provided to disable. I jave one to disable mobile skin. However the option above doesn't appear. I use on a phone and can't use since it keeps switching.
|
Finally got disable to appear. I had to reselect mobile and it appeared. However I still keep getting switched from mobile one to the infinite scroll when I click on a link.
|
I actually don't mind it too much but it seems to be impossible to use the back button to go back for the main forum page after reading a thread which is really annoying if you're on the third page of a forum.
|
*sigh* I know some people dislike the mobile interface, but I actually WANT to use the mobile interface when I'm on my phone, and the full desktop interface when I'm on my desktop. This used to work, but now I can't get mobile to stick on my phone.
I try to be sympathetic, because I know different people have different preferences, you can't please everyone, etc., and I've worked in software for 20+ years. But it honestly sometimes feels like you guys haven't even heard of the concept of usability testing. "This works great if you use it in the exact one way we thought of. Ship it!" :rolleyes: |
Not a fan. Disabled.

Since this update was pushed out, I keep getting redirected to the desktop site on my phone. I've tried selecting "View Mobile Site" at the bottom of the page and selecting both mobile style sheets from the style drop down selector.

Yeah no one was clamoring for infinite scroll in the user poll last summer. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/commu...any-apply.html "Hey let's ask what users most want to improve their FT experience, and then spend time and money working on something that's not only completely different but one of the worst ideas out there!!" But at least we can opt out, so I guess that counts as a "win" anymore. Not that anyone will be able to find the option once the sticky announcement is gone. |
+1
Is there any way to turn this new feature off? The concept works well when viewing Flyertalk on my phone, but it's absolutely horrible on my desktop PC at work. |
Same issue. I tried logging out and back in. Did not resolve it. Cleared cache, logged back in, did not resolve it.
I am using Android and Chrome browser on a BlackBerry PRIV |
Need to be able to switch this off on the mobile site ...
|
Agreed Issue started last night.
|
It's a terrible addition. Please give us an option to get rid of it. Thank you!
