Default laptop style

[ghostlymoron]

When browsing the forum on my mobile I use the default mobile format. But recently it keeps returning to computer mode which is very annoying. What can I do to stop this?

Should be an option within your browser to request mobile version of a site if available. Maybe this has become de-selected?

I've found the mobile version to be buggy, certainly on android. Someone usually sorts out the server problem after a day or two.

Yes, I think I've had problems before which have resolved themselves after a while.

Are you clearing cookies, or running some security or 'PC cleaner' program that is doing so?

Not as far as I know, I'm not that proficient at Android.

Any further ideas? This is really annoying I have to re-select on every page.

This is controlled by a cookie. If I display cookies for this site I see:
browsertype=web
which is the default.
I suggest you find out how to display cookies with your browser and see if that cookie gets set correctly and whether it gets reset and when.

Edited to add:
Actually, I can't get mobile style to stick on this Android. Maybe it really is broken.

Edited again to add:
OK - it does work. It's the bottom style you have to enable.
The cookie it sets is
bb_userstyleid=4
If that disappears it reverts to desktop style.

Update! I tried logging out and logging back in again. This seems to have cured problem but it may be coincidence!
