Anyone else surf the forums on their phone? If so, how do you disable the "mobile" version, which lacks any images or detailed graphics?

I surf from my HTC sometimes and it never goes into any special mode.

what browser are you using?

Rainbow · March 28, 2011, 01:45:21 PM

what mobile version

The serious smart phones like Droid or iPhone have professional browsers that are detected by the forum software as able to handle it. My phone apparently is detected as too basic despite being a smartphone (Samsung Impression).

Phone browser is NetFront 3.5.

JAW959 · March 28, 2011, 01:47:54 PM

If you can try to get a different browser like Opera.

The phone doesn't have its own app marketplace like iOS or Android.

This sucks because there are 5 replies per page and no avatars.

I'm gonna try to see if i can get you an opera mobile download. I know its free.
Go to m.opera.com on your phone and download it. Its completely safe i assure you.

Try Fennec (Firefox mobile) instead.

M.opera.com

Doit.

Opera browser download for smartphones.

It could also be a matter of if you have a full html capable phone/data plan.

My phone almost never goes to a mobile version of sites. I luff you iPhone.

Nickelob Ultra · March 28, 2011, 02:48:34 PM

Yeah I have an unlimited data plan. I'll try mobile opera.

D3ATH · March 28, 2011, 03:28:53 PM

No special mode on BL forums, but I'd kill for disabling phone mode on other sites. Anyone know how? I'm using a HTC with Opera browser (has IE too), basically the same question as OP.
