    I mostly access the forum from my phone but the past week or so the 'view' has changed. Instead of seeing a 'mobile' specific view I'm seeing the whole website as I would on a PC. As you may imagine it's much more difficult to read and navigate on such a tiny screen.

    Have I 'clicked' something or have things changed? It doesn't alter anything if I scroll to the bottom left and click on mobile view - have tried that.

    Thanks Sandy & Jo - It's driving me nuts! I've spent far less time time on the forum because of it and I'm missing everyone :sigh:

    I usually catch up on all the threads lying in my bed, in that time when I can't get back to sleep but it's too early to get up.............not sure my hubby would appreciate the lap top in bed with us!

    Not the case Chef, I am under the covers at 5:00 am Thursday morning, having ditched the mobile phone and now tapping away on the iPad.

    Smart phones are just too smart sometimes Jo.. I wasn't going to get my work emails diverted to my personal new phone, but being in IT, I couldn't resist it yesterday and now all through the night it has been pinging me with the workaholic emails and automatic emails!! Might have to turn it off at night me thinks :):)

    Sorry Lisa, about your situation, I miss you too :(..... Maybe you have to get hubby to buy you an iPad for your next birthday ?? Xx

    I will look into making a new mobile skin to tide us over till the big update in 2013

    it will be super mobile friendly then, with adaptive coding that matches perfectly to whatever device is viewing the site
