Any better way to access boards on Android tablet?

    I'm browsing boards.ie on my Asus Transformer Prime but I find the Touch interface pretty frustrating to use. I can't seem to find how to search within a specific forum as opposed to searching boards.ie overall. Also can you access your settings to change number of posts per page, I have it set to 50 posts per page on my PC. I find it annoying that there doesn't seem to be a way to jump straight to the last page of a thread from the forum index page - I frequently have to click into a thread and then click for the last page - is there a better way to use Boards on Android tablets or are there settings for the Touch interface that I'm overlooking?

    I'd prefer to use the standard website but it keeps redirecting to the touch interface, any way to override that?

    Get a better brower like Dolphin HD and get the toggle addon, then use the full site

    Thanks, have that installed now, not perfect but very close to the desktop experience. I set it to Desktop in the Settings but can't see where the Toggle Add-on is available - I did install it - is is easy to find it and to toggle between desktop and mobile versions?

    RTFM

    Swype from right to left and you'll see the addons

    Opera mobile offers user agent switching out of the box.

    I think it is also much easier to use than Dolphin but that is personal preference.

    Go into Settings advanced to switch agent in opera.

    I have the original version of the Transformer TF101 and there is an option in the list on the top right corner to "request desktop site" which stops you being redirected to mobile sites. There is also an app called ICS Broweser + which is almost the same as the the stock browser but it keeps this option selected all the time.

    Not sure if either of these solutions work on the prime but worth a shot.
