Mobile version

[Glover Fan]

Hi,

Hope admin can assist me here.

When I first joined I was impressed that there was a mobile version of this site which made it quick to load on my android device when out of a wifi area.

About 3 days ago when going to cyclechat on my phone it keeps loading the desktop version.

Has the mobile skin been disabled?! I haven't changed any settings on my phone that I know of.

If you scroll down to the bottom of the page, on the left hand side there will be a drop down box.It will show what theme you are currently using (classic / cyclechat etc) change this to IP.Board Mobile.Hope this helps

Mine does this too every now and again, never really got to the bottom of it but try logging out on the mobile then logging back in, sometimes helped.

 

[Glover Fan]

Excellent, thanks both.

Oh. I just changed it on my mobile and it has now changed it on my PC. Doh.

Yes, it does remember which skin you last selected manually and uses that setting next time you log in, wherever that is. So when you switch back to the normal version on your desktop, that is what will show next time you log in on your mobile, until you change it.

Mine doesn't. I use the mobile version on my android phone and the classic version on laptop. I stay logged in permanently and always get the mobile version on phone.

I actually find the mobile version on the iphone really not very user friendly - I prefer to use the full version as it's just much better to use but then the phone lets you scroll and enlarge pages with ease - I haven't installed tapatalk.

I do find it reverts back to mobile every now and then

My mobile always remembered the mobile skin and my desktop the IPBoard, until recently when I switched briefly to IPBoard on my mobile and then back again, and now it behaves as you describe above...

On your mobile, in the IP.Board style, go to the bottom and click "Delete My Cookies". Then close your browser session on your mobile and restart it.

When you next access CycleChat it should revert to the mobile theme automatically - let me know if it does that, and if the mobile skin "sticks" afterwards?

Cheers,
Shaun

Thanks Shaun. Done that - the mobile still reverts to the IPBoard skin I'm using at the desktop. Although it did ask me if I wanted tapatalk when I logged on...

Oh bugger (that's Yorkshire for "I think there's a problem!").

I'll ask at the IPS support forum and see if they've got any ideas.

What model phone have you got Claudine?

Cheers,
Shaun

It's an HTC Wildfire. It worked fine until I switched skins on it just to check something out...

Hold up! I've turned the phone off and on again one more time and the mobile skin now appears to be sticking, and my desktop is still in IPBoard. Hooray!
