My phone started opening the site in what looks like desktop mode. I don't see a button to switch to mobile, only dark mode.

What am I missing here?

You don't see it at the very bottom of the page?

The "View In" mode is above:

Try setting your browser's zoom to 100%.

This process varies a bit, but if you're using Safari for example, click on the "aA" symbol to the left of your address bar:

And then click directly on the number in the middle to set the zoom back to 100% (or you can click "a" and "A" on either side to zoom in/out incrementally):

Then look again at the very bottom of the page, see if you can find this link, and click on it:

Figured it out! I'm using Chrome and the browser has its own desktop site forcing.

Mine is jumping to Desktop for no reason and with no warning or pattern. Sometimes it just does it

Was just coming to post the same thing. For the last several days when I click on this site from a iPhone it seems like half the time it’s going to desktop or whatever it’s called. Once I refresh and go into a thread it’s not an issue, its just when I open the site.

Maybe (but maybe not) — but probably — this is related to an advertisement that appears to be breaking something.

GTG reported it in another thread around the same timeframe as CoachChappy's comment to that effect.

For comparison, in that other thread about the ad, GTG stated:
quote:

My page zoom goes to (approximately) 3000% and I have to exit the page for it to be fixed.

Which is very similar to the behavior you're describing.

In other words, I don't think it's y'all, and it will probably be fixed when the offending ad is removed.

My font keeps changing sporadically to old people size in threads

Yes!! That’s exactly what’s happening. I tried jumping between desktop and mobile. That’s not the issue. The issue is exactly what’s described in the quote. Thanks for the info
