How do I get onto the mobile version if I don't get the pop-up?

I used to always get a pop-up asking if I want to switch to the mobile version when I logged in from my iPhone, but I've not been getting it recently. Is there a way I can get onto it if I don't get the pop-up? I'm struggling to navigate the full site on this tiny screen! Thanks.

Scroll all the way down to the bottom and to a land far far away, and click the teeny weeny miniscule almost-secret 'view mobile version' at the bottom left of the screen.

Go to the address bar and replace the "www" with "m". Works on all pages.

How weird, Tee, that's redirecting to the full site for me (on computer)

Also if you go through google searching for mumsnet (not sure how the browser works on iOS but on android it automatically googles if you do one word instead of an address) google should detect you're using a phone and direct you to the mobile site.

You could also try deleting the www. version from your history so that the m. version becomes default.

When I click it it says the site is offline, Bertie. Hmm

Tee2072 · 09/02/2012 08:59

Now it's taking me to the full site. On my computer. Hmm

Well that's a nifty trick, Bertie. Who knew?!

Grin Works both ways on a surprising number of sites, it's quite handy. It depends how they have their mobile sites set up, though.
