We highly recommend using the mobile skin on mobile devices.

Do you mean m.flyertalk.com? That doesn’t load due to certificate errors.

Nope. m.flyertalk.com has been dead for a long time. The mobile skin automatically starts up when you go to FT on a mobile device (if it doesn't, scroll to the bottom and click the green button).

Not seeing a green button. There is a mobile skin selection which after a painful infinite scroll is hiding at the bottom of the screen. But that style doesn’t persist when changing forums, giving this.

Green button to toggle mobile/desktop is on the very bottom of the screen. If you're running a blocker, it may be blocking the button.

Not running any blockers. Could you post a screenshot?

Here’s what I see.

Sorry -- if you are already using the desktop skin on mobile, the green button is on the bottom.

If you are on mobile skin and want to see desktop, it's in the "hamburger" menu at top left.

The screen shot I posted above is your current default view on an iPad - it appears to be the desktop default (no hamburger). IMO it's unusable since the change. Again, not seeing any green button to change the skin. Could you post a shot please? (I do know about the hamburger menu on small screen devices like phones - that's not in play here). I'm assuming the green button is not the"Get Senior Coupons" one :).

You have to scroll all the way to the top to see the menu.

I’m using an iPad which apparently is picking up the new desktop skin and it’s a bad experience. It used to be fine. You’ve been saying using the green button at the *bottom* to change skin. There isn’t one.

I'll look into this. On iPhone it is definitely there. Can you look in the hamburger menu at top left and see if it is there?

Thanks for looking into this. No hamburger menu on the iPad, just the iPhone.

Is there a solution to these problems with the ads on the right? It’s even worse when you need to increase the size of the screen because the ads increase in size as well and cover up 1/2 of the text.

You can squint at the small text, or use the mobile skin :)

When trying to reply to a post on mobile (UA forum, iPhone 7 safari). the text editor always obscures the text that i'm typing. It's annoying because I can't see what I'm typing. Doesn't always happen, but quite often.
