should you be switched to mobile view, simply click on this link and you will be reset. Credit goes to @Zorak . Thanks!!

A possible solution for the opposite, cellphone switched to desktop view, and can't switch back to mobile view, is this link:

https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/prof...ons&styleid=22

However, there could be collateral consequences, as discussed in Post # 72, which also provides an alternative solution.

You can also force the full desktop skin by adding "?styleid=24" to the URL parameters. If there's already a ?x=y parameter in the URL you can append "&styleid=24" instead.

If anyone is reading this in mobile mode against their volition, you can click on this direct link to the desktop version of the "Edit Options" page: https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/prof...ons&styleid=24 where you can change the Forum Skin (2nd item under "Miscellaneous Options" near the bottom) to "Use Forum Default"

I was idiotic enough to force mobile skin, hence the issue

Thanks for another solution though!

Thank you for this! Was going a bit nutty trying to figure out how to get it back to desktop version.

I see a Never Go Mobile checkbox so I will try that.

Mobile skin sucks, they should just get rid of it, now with bigger phones. I always inadvertently tap it and it scrolls way up.

Flyertalk is slowly killing itself. Even hitting never show mobile skin and all the instructions on here, you're stuck with mobile skin. Sadly, people would post more, and the new people that do post are not providing the same quality as before. Very sad.

Thanks for the link. I actually had the desktop mode and the page suddenly automagically reloaded and brought up the mobile page. Yes, sucks. Had no way of reverting back. The view desktop site or view full site or whatever it was called is no longer available in the Hamburger Menu.

Your link did it. Tanks.

Drives me crazy. Switches back to mobile view again, although I selected default view
