    My mobile has decided to start loading the desktop version of the site. How do I stop it doing that. Its unusable on a Mobile, especially with the ads load in.

    Have you cleared out your cookies?

    After that, I can't help you. But it is incredibly annoying that users aren't given the choice of easily switching between the desktop and mobile versions of the site. I helped a friend set up an 8" Android tablet and boards only serves as the desktop version on that. The only workaround I could find was to install Firefox as a 2nd browser. I started a thread asking a question about it at the time but I don't believe I ever got an answer.

    It's jumping between both modes. Really weird.

    Cookies didn't work. In fact that may have started the problem
