Thanks, I was able to browse PPRuNe at lunchtime once more!
The problem is back with a vengeance, with the site defaulting to the mobile view (with no ads and no option to switch to the full version at all - the button at the bottom just doesn't work at all) for anyone accessing PPRuNe via a VM or proxy, it seems. I only found this out recently, whilst running Linux in a VM on a Windows machine - when trying to access PPRuNe it is impossible to get to the full site, only a rather corrupted version of the mobile site.
The really good news is that Admin have been very helpful and are promptly passing all this back to the development team, and giving feedback on the issue, so with a bit of luck these teething problems may well get ironed out fairly soon. My guess is they will, as a side effect of this issue is to remove all the adverts from the site, and leave a big blank white screen with no graphics, just text, so IB may be concerned at the loss of advertising exposure
As an experiment, this reply is actually being made using the mobile version of the site that is the only accessible version on a Windows machine running Win7 and Firefox, because I've connected and logged in through a proxy, which sort of illustrates one of the issues.
