Hi. I’ve always used desktop and sometimes changes to other - but if I scroll down to bottom of page it says desktop and click and goes back to normal

But desktop isn’t there anymore

Help

I’ve just come in and seen the same thing. I don’t like reading the mobile version and just won’t visit if this stays!

Blondeshavemorefun · 11/08/2020 14:29

Ditto

It’s all back to front

@mnhq help :)

@Blondeshavemorefun Click 'Talk Guidelines' at the very bottom of the page. Then at the very bottom of the TG page you should see the link to desktop (might have to pull the bottom of the window down to,see it)

Blondeshavemorefun · 11/08/2020 21:11

@BoreOfWhabylon Thank you

I’m trying but can’t stretch the page enough

It’s right at the bottom and won’t click :(

Oh that's no good Blondes I know others are having the same problem.

Maybe report this thread to get MNHQ's attention?

DramaAlpaca · 11/08/2020 21:21

I'm on Desktop already on my tablet thankfully as I prefer it too, but the Mobile button that used to be at the bottom of the page has most definitely disappeared. How odd Confused

Blondeshavemorefun · 11/08/2020 21:25

So weird. Wonder why they moved it to guidelines which is rhe lowest point of page

OP posts:
Blondeshavemorefun · 11/08/2020 21:26

Blondeshavemorefun · 11/08/2020 21:42

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 :(

Blondeshavemorefun · 12/08/2020 12:17

@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 · 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 😂

MyVisionsComeFromSoup · 12/08/2020 12:44

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.

HebeMumsnet · 12/08/2020 12:59

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.

Blondeshavemorefun · 12/08/2020 15:28

Thanks @HebeMumsnet 💐💐

Think us oldies don’t like chnage 😂

OP posts:
Blondeshavemorefun · 19/08/2020 17:53

It’s changed back again :(

And still no easily accessible desktop button

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

OP posts:
PCatwalk · 02/09/2020 16:56

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!

Blondeshavemorefun · 02/09/2020 21:12

Desktop has totally gone.

Why :(

Not even on bottom of guidelines :(

Help

Blondeshavemorefun · 02/09/2020 21:12

@HebeMumsnet do you know what’s going on

Thanks

OP posts:
SoupDragon · 02/09/2020 23:38

so they're looking at putting it back

Oh no they aren't! 🙄

Blondeshavemorefun · 03/09/2020 07:04

Nope. Seems gone forever

I hate the mobile site

Does my head in :(

OP posts:
Blondeshavemorefun · 03/09/2020 12:22

I’m on iPad and have desktop. Yah,,

But not on my iPhone :(

How does that work

OP posts:
Blondeshavemorefun · 03/09/2020 13:42

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

But it’s not on The iphone

OP posts:
SoupDragon · 03/09/2020 16:31

Because apparently "mobile device" just means "smartphone"
