I am stuck on desktop too. I usually use mobile but cannot get back to it now. I know mumsnet was going to change it so iPad was desktop only but I find it so hard to read and navigate Sad

Hi Again Blondeshavemorefun and PCatwalk,

This is quite the mystery all of a sudden so we'll take another pass at this one.

Would you mind sending us a screenshot of what is there now or what isn't?! Might help us demonstrate what you're seeing.

Thanks a lot and we're so sorry this is a pita.

I have the mobile site as well, why take away the desktop site

SoupDragon · 03/09/2020 16:31

Because apparently "mobile device" just means "smartphone"

So why is desktop on iPads and tablets as they are movable devices

But it’s not on The iphone

Desktop has totally gone.

Why :(

Not even on bottom of guidelines :(

Help

Right, it's gone even from the Guidelines page now, so it's even worse than it was and I am totally stuck on mobile again. Please put it back on Talk Guidelines at least please!

And still no easily accessible desktop button

Tried scrolling to bottom but so hard to click on guidelines :(

Afternoon, everyone. We've asked Tech about this and it sounds like the button was taken away at some point. We can see it's been unpopular so they're looking at putting it back. It won't be quite that simple so don't expect it back this afternoon or anything but it is being sorted.

I like desktop on my phone, but the only way I can get it now, is clicking on the three dots at the top right, and scrolling down to get "desktop site". The default seems to be the mobile version all the time now, whereas up til yesterday, it was roughly75% desktop/25% mobile version on opening for me.

Perching · 12/08/2020 12:37

@Blondeshavemorefun thanks x
I found it at the bottom of the homepage without the obscuring bits
I been here too long and too set in my ways to cope with the mobile site 😂

@Perching somehow I have managed to get to guidelines and click

Desktop is at bottom

Glad it’s back to my way

But why make so difficult to change to desktop

OP posts:
Perching · 11/08/2020 22:33

Me too! Please can we have desktop button back!
I can’t pull down far enough to click on talk guidelines, really really dislike the mobile site :(
