When clicking on forums here on mobile the view changes to desktop view instead of mobile view.
Edit. Pictures insert above the text in mobile.

Facebook login doesn't work. Not through the old button or the new login popup from the top banner. You should also have a list of known bugs here.

Perhaps I'm just dismembering , but I think things have been like this for quite some time:
I rely on the subscriptions page every day to manage my FT use & have never found the "unsubscribe" links inconveniently placed. That said, it would be easy enough to move the unsub link flush right in the box to provide separation from other page elements:

I'm using IE11 to try and view this mess, but it keeps locking up on me. The few times I actually am able to view things, the layout is just so darn scattered, that it really makes it undesirable to read.
I guess it's back to the other site for the time being until this monstrosity gets repaired.

Constant lock ups due to script errors in IE11.
Sometimes every few seconds in this thread especially.
Works fine on my phone although the forum selection page looks like the desktop rather than the mobile version.
Can have the same advert stacked twice at the top of the screen and again at the bottom.
Generally prefer the old look. Too much like British Airways' lipstick on a pig upgrade recently.

2. Also on IE11, multi-quote function does not work at all (just loads up a blank reply box without any of the selected posts). Worked OK on Chrome last night (will check later today).

For IE users, if you press Ctrl+Shift+U it should bring up a little box showing some performance stats. I was seeing ~40 network connections before zapping ads. Are you seeing the same?

I've tried it in Chrome and IE desktop, and I've tried both the Quick Reply and Advanced. Neither will allow me to paste a URL in the field. When I try to type a URL it deletes everything after I type more than one character.

I suspect that the new, clever Quick Reply area is implicated. I often see it snap into view when a "this site is terribly sloooowwww" message retires, as if the script managing it has finally stopped hogging cycles. I don't thik it's too bad on its own, but when fighting for time with all the ad ware it becomes a part of the bottleneck.
