I browse the forum quite a bit from my iPod touch with its built in safari browser. The main page of the forum shows up as it would on a pc or mac however when I go into a sub forum (like the 70 or diesel sections) the forum appears as a list of threads and when going into any thread no pictures will appear. Is there any way to get the forum to display as normal on a mobile device that has a full fledged browser built in?

Edit - the help forum displays as normal??

the system used to switch to mobile for Ipod users, but was turned off months ago..perhaps it's cacheing the settings from then?

strange....no clue...
 
Yeah I thought it might be something like that but I've restored my ipod and also cleared the cache numerous times....

Oh well, thanks anyways woody!
 
woody I just got an iPod Touch yesterday (i.e. no old cookies and I just logged in for the first time with it) and I'm looking at new content and it's switching to mobile mode. Here I'll check a few forums....


The Help Corner forum displays as normal, same as on a computer.


Every other forum I checked switches to mobile.

Pressing the Classifieds or the TLCA/Clubhouse tab switches to mobile.




EDIT: I just learned from this thread: https://forum.ih8mud.com/ih8mud-com...letin-have-settings-optimized-blackberry.html that it might be browser specific. I'm thinking maybe that I have a newer version of Safari on my iPod Touch and this version is on the wrong list...


I can't figure out any details about this version of Safari. about: doesn't do anything....

If it means anything certain forums are full mode on my blackberry, but others (chat) are mobile mode.

I don't really prefer one or the other (because mobile mode kills attached images and is kinda annoying imo) but I never cared enough to ask for a change. May be a piece of the puzzle though. :idea:
