Does this site now use an app??
« on: 02 July 2013, 13:13 »
Just went to post a reply and it took me to a mobile looking page! Not liking that!

What's goin on?

See all those hundreds of threads moaning about wanting a mobile version?  :grin:

It will try and detect what you are browsing from and direct you to the mobile or normal website.

At the bottom of all pages of the mobile version is a large button to change you back to the normal version.

I don't like it. It's wank. Normal site ftw.

Thanks for your feedback.

Are you using the site on a phone?

Thanks for your feedback.

Yup. iPhone 5. It's working but it's awkward to use. I actually find it harder to navigate.

I agree, which is why I instantly reverted back to the web version :undecided:

This is one of those 'why do I even bother' moments.

I guess I'll turn off the auto-detect.

In fairness, a lot of people have asked for it. Allow it to be an option for people which you have. I personally prefer navigating the site as it has been on my phone. I'm used to it and its quick and easy. I personally never wanted a mobile version but I know plenty of others have asked for it.

Let them make their own minds up.  :cool:

I agree with Shady, leave it as an option to keep the people that want an app type browser happy, I'm not a fan but that doesn't mean everyone will be the same, I quite like the normal site on my 4s so I've gone for that.
