Rail forums mobile site

I mostly read this site on an iPhone. In the last few weeks the desktop version has been replaced by a mobile version. Unfortunately the mobile version is even harder to read than the desktop version. I still have to pinch and expand the screen or scroll towards the right. How can I change it back and are there any plans for a version to fit the iPhone? I remember there used to be an app but it suffered some technical issues. Not sure if it's still available.

I have http://www.railforums.co.uk/ in my shared bookmarks across all my Apple devices, so if i just start typing it the full version appears, not the mobile (didn't know there was one).

Another way to do it would be go to the home page above then save that to the home screen, after which it appears like an app but takes you straight to the home page without going through a search or bookmark.

(My phone is still on iOS 6 so it may be slightly different if you are on iOS 7).

Use this link to come back to (this thread) on the desktop skin/site (then change the skin in the usual way)

I am afraid I don't know the answers to your other questions

Thanks all. It's nice to have the full version back! Let's hope it lasts! I previously cleared cookies but no joy. And I have the correct web address bookmarked. No idea why it kept defaulting to a mobile layout.

This would be because you have selected the Mobile version either using the dropdown at the bottom of the page (which affects the browser), or selected the Mobile version in your UserCP (which affects your account). You could also have clicked on a link which redirects you to that style.

When you say you have to pinch and expand, I assume you are referring to the 'Mobi' style. This will not be adjusted as this is not designed to be used on the iPhone; we already have a style called 'Lightweight' which fits iPhones perfectly.
