'New Format'

Is it just me?, but this new layout is naff. No indication of new posts or what posts you've previously read. Maybe it's my old I pad!!, but sorry, for me it's not good

yea, the new mobile view is a little underwhelming.

Scroll all the way to the bottom and you'll see a button that says "view full site"

Ditto. And how do I permanently stop the annoying musical ad that plays every time I start browsing PPrUNE (Using a Mac, I have to click on a 'mute' icon that pops up in the address bar to shut it up every time it starts)? Cheers.

Not only do we still have all the ghost pages, they have managed to break something else !

Not at all impressed.

It seems that it has been fixed at the PPRuNe end.

So I'm on an iPad and still getting the "mobile" version from time to time, very annoying. Any way to change this so no matter it always gives me the desktop version.

Oh, joy. Was just searching for help with that. So on iPad it just randomly flops to this mobile thing. Great. Shan't bother to read PPRuNe unless I'm on a proper computer.

I'm looking to have the "never go to mobile skin" option added. Stay tuned...

I too hate the mobile PPRUNE site. I used to click on "view full site" which took me, as the name suggested, to the full site.

But now the "view full site" button doesn't work and I am stuck on the horrible mobile site.

I am using an ipad with IOS 10.1.1

Any suggestions please?

I, too, ended here looking for "why". The mobile site is awful. I'm using Safari on iPad 2/iOS8 (yes, rather ancient) and new pages would randomly open in mobile mode. If I scrolled a lonnnnnggg way to the page bottom, I could choose Full Site (I think was the term). Then that wouldn't work. Having Opera Mini browser also onboard, I tried it, and it loaded full site and looked super. Ironically, when I came to this page to report success, it went into mobile view. Yech! Then full again.

I only look at Pprune on a mobile device now (at the desktop, I'm working) and I can't see how mobile view could ever be an advantage over full. Nothing like fixing something that wasn't broken.
