Hello

All my sites,whether flightsim or otherwise open in desktop mode,the exception being Avsim.It always opens in mobile mode and has to opened again via the link at the bottom of the page to display in Desktop view

Its a bit tedious .If Avsim is slow to load on a certain day it can be VERY slow if you have got to do it twice.

 

Anyways hoping for a fix.

Cheers Socks.

There is no mod provided by IPB that I'm aware of that could tweak this.  We had removed mobile theme for a while and shortly thereafter we received requests to bring it back online.

Sincerely,

I'd echo that. The mobile theme is awful. It doesn't show the box that has the topics you've participated in so it's difficult to find replies to threads you've posted in without remembering each thread and finding it manually. It also doesn't have the most recent topics box. 

 

Ticking "request desktop site" in Chrome on Android does nothing either.

Absolutely!

Its only Avsim that I have this particular problem with.

By the way my tablet is the Nook HD 16k with the Android O.S.

As you say the 'request desktop site option'does nothing.

 

PS Perhaps Avsim could at least put the 'full site' link at the top of there homepage rather than the bottom, having to scroll down each time is surprisingly irritating ,and just adds to the overall irritatingness.

Anyways cheers

hmmmm, just tried it on my Samsung Note 8 (Android) with Dolphin browser for Android and it looks fine to me. Opens with full screen mode as well and not portable. (Note 8 is an 8" tablet with AT&T service)

Same with iOS. I would love to simpy load the desktop version to my iphone or ipad. Not a big fan of the mobile version.

Hello All

John Binner has found a solution.Have just tried Avsim using Dolphin Browser.As he says it does indeed open in FULL site mode.Created a link and tried a couple of times   to be sure it wasn't sneeky flukery and it still opening FULL site.

So thats hoorah! DB and much hiss for chrome and fox.

Dolphin B appears to be a solution.

Thanks John

 

Cheers Socks.

Update!!

Dolphin definitely works if you want desktop Avsim.

However!

Dolphin is horribly laggy on my  tablet.

Forum writing and page  scrolling is slow jerky and poor.

 

The Lord giveth.....etc

To make everyone aware, Tom has been brushing up on his coding and is working on making that full version link appear at the top of the page. Thanks Horatio for the dolphin suggestion for everyone.

Sincerely,

Chase

Hello have just changed THIS in DB settings.

USER AGENT! Was set to desktop.Have now set to Android.

This seems to have fixed the lag and poor scrolling problem.

 

Cheers Socks.
