Not sure, but it just started doing this after I got back from SNCOA.

What type of iPhone? Have you tried scrolling to the very bottom and changing to a different view?

It's a 5. Option at the bottom is to switch to desktop. I'm not sure what it is but interface just looks different. Not terrible just different. I post on here quite a bit so it's a slight but noticeable difference

Seems like I see more ads and links to news articles toward the bottom. Also to edit I have to click 'options' below the list now, which is different than before. Maybe you guys just made some tweaks? No big deal

It's different yet familiar. Sort of like the apple watch

The old mobile version was turned off today and replaced with a new version. The new mobile version uses the same urls as the desktop version and uses your resolution size to determine if you get the mobile format. Check to see if you have a "view in mobile" link at the bottom of the page. If not, then your resolution is too large to get the mobile version.

Well, I guess I won't be going to tigerdroppings on my tablet anymore.

Ok. If you change your mind, you know how to find us.

Just out of curiosity...what type of tablet is it? What are dimensions?

This sucks

My tablet is stuck on desktop version as well. My fat bloated fingers can't maintain this level of pinpoint accuracy.

Where's the damn link to the mobile version?

Another person checking in to say now I see the desktop version on my tablet and I'd really prefer to see the mobile version. (Galaxy Tab 10.5)

Chicken, iPad air2, no choice for mobile at the bottom and the default, initial page view is too large. Requiring either you to pinch the screen down to size, or scroll left to right to view the right most part of the screen (last posters name, date, etc)

If you resize it, as soon as you load a topic and return, it's resized itself to the too large view. Lemme know and I'll send a screen shot.
