Strange, alternating EEVblog appearance on mobile device
(1/1)
IDEngineer:
The EEVblog forums have two distinct layouts on my portable devices. One is essentially the normal PC browser appearance. The other is obviously a mobile device layout that makes it much easier to use. For some reason my mobile devices seem to toggle between these two layouts. I can't find anything different in the URL's and don't understand why it will suddenly decide to change - sometimes in the middle of a single session!

Web hosting software can detect if the viewing device is mobile, and I suspect EEVblog is trying to do that but isn't 100% accurate. I'm not changing anything on my end; as I said it will suddenly change formats just from selecting a given thread in a forum, and then it stays in that layout for days until it suddenly snaps back.

Advice would be appreciated. My goal would be to keep the "mobile" layout active on my mobile devices without affecting my PC-based layout.

Thanks!

It's per-device AFAIK. If you get the desktop skin and want to change to mobile, scroll all the way down. In the footer, outside of the light content area, centered on the dark gray mesh background, you'll find some blue text that includes a link for "mobile".

Wow, that is VERY subtle. Almost no contrast, basically invisible down there at the bottom of the screen. I would have never found it without your detailed description.

Thanks, I really appreciate you responding!

You’re FAR from the first person to not notice it. This question comes up from time to time, precisely because it’s so hard to see. :/
