My mobile has recently been affected by this - loss of auto detection of mobile. It used to work perfectly.
HTC Incredible S, using the standard browser.
Desktop computer using Firefox.
On both devices I sign out. Use the remove my cookies option at the bottom of the classic version of the site. I have also tried this in the IP Board theme. Phone restarted a couple of times. I get the right detection until the point where I sign in. What I am not seeing is the invite to use TapaTalk when I did this though so I suspect something isn't going quite right.
The problem might have started when I first broke out of the mobile theme and selected classic. Now if logged in, CC remembers the last selected theme on both desktop and mobile devices.

Sorry to be a PITA, I can't get the desired behaviour: classic on the desktop, mobile on the mobile whilst having both signed in.
Here is what I tried:
1. Start with both desktop and mobile signed in and looking at classic.
2. Mobile: Showing classic. Use delete my cookies link. You get logged out and then it shows mobile view. Switch off phone.
3. Desktop: Showing classic. Use delete my cookies link. You get logged out and it remains on classic view.
4. Mobile: Turn on, go to cyclechat. Mobile view is showing. Sign in. Classic view is shown.
5. Desktop: Sign in, classic view.
Is there something not right about that sequence ?

Slightly OT, but am I the only one who accidentally hits "Mark Board as Read" from time to time on the mobile version? It's probably good for me to lose my way now and again, but it would be kinda nice if an "Are you sure?" window would pop up for that one...

Switch it off and on again. That'll fix it.

Sorry, it didn't! I''ve tried all sorts of permutations, and am sure that a) the software cannot autodetect my phone (HTC Rose with windows mobile...) and b) irrespective of whether I come in via the skinchanger or not, it will always revert to whatever skin I was last using when logged on, as soon as it has logged me in.
At exactly which point in the process do you suggest I switch off and restart?
Edit- I've been using the Opera browser, because for some bizarre reason, although the web software is able to auto detect the phone, so will send me the mobile skin automatically, it was also sending lots of other files as well, resulting in page downloads of ~180k, even though only the mobile skin was visible. This doesn't happen with Opera, which only downloads the files it needs, once the mobile theme is set.
