Possible to switch from desktop forum layout to moblie layout?

[chakkman]

Hey,

 

as written in the title, i have a problem with the Firefox browser for Android. Obviously, it doesn't send a correct user client ID to this forums, which is why i always get the desktop layout in the Firefox for Android. On Chrome for Android it works confusingly. So, on the mobily layout, there is a button at the bottom of the page where you can switch to the desktop layout. Could you implement something like that for the desktop layout too, to be able to switch to the mobile layout, if the forums don't detect your mobile browser as one?

 

Btw, i don't think there's something wrong with the detecetion implementation on this forum, it's rather something weird in Firefox. On some forums the user client thing works, on some it doesn't.

Oh well, problem solved because i switched back to Chrome on Android anyway. Wonder who's responsible for the site and forum though? I once sent 2 PM's to Springheel to get my nickname changed, because i thought he might be responsible for the forums. Never even bothered to reply to them. The nickname was changed but huh? Maybe a reply would have been possible?

taaaki hosts the forum. Doesn't Firefox for android come with an easy-switch setting of its own? As for the reply, surely getting what you asked for is acknowledgment enough? I'd much rather Springheel spent his limited TDM time making great new models for the game (which he does at an impressive rate) rather than spend a chunk of it every day sending even brief replies to the pile of admin stuff that lands in his inbox.

Fair enough, i didn't know who to approach, so i PM'd him. He changed my nickname, i said thank you and didn't get a reply on that either. Surely there would be have been a time for a "No problem." or something like that. Anyway, Firefox comes with a user agent switch, but it doesn't work here for some reason. With any other Android browser i tried, i get the mobile layout of the forum. There's something weird with Firefox's user agent reporting.
