can I force mobile view?

mxmarks

I got a nexus 7 tablet for Christmas, and the forums show up in the standard desktop view here for me. On my android phone I get the mobile view.

Is there a way to force the forums to use the mobile view on my tablet?

Thanks!

Wondering this too, for the same reason. Some features are a little odd on the tablet viewing desktop mode (awesome buttons and such are hidden unless you tap the post), so it'd be nice if this version of mobile chrome got the mobile site.

You could change your User Agent to a mobile browser, but it wouldn't be the best solution since it would apply to the entire internet rather than just the forums.

You can use a separate browser just for forum browsing. I do that not for PA, but for a few other situations.

if you use firefox it seems like there's a few add-ons that can quick switch the user agent for you.

I'm having a different but related issue with Chrome for iOS not displaying the mobile site, at all. Safari displays it fine, but for some reason as of yesterday Chrome defaults to the desktop browser. Weird thing is, if I go to request the mobile site, it just gives me the option of requesting the desktop site.... even though it's already displaying it. Clearing my cache, closing the tab, closing and restarting chrome, and restarting my phone don't do anything.

I had this issue. Clearing cookies as well as cache sorted it.

That or have you just accidentally clicked the 'full site' link whilst in mobile mode? If so there should be a tiny grey 'back to mobile site' link under the 'Vanilla' at the bottom of the page.

It actually sorted itself out. Sorry for not reporting back.
