I just wondered if anyone had any advice. I access Mumsnet on my Android phone using the phone's browser and it's set to the mobile site. Until yesterday I was doing the same with my Samsung Galaxy tablet but the latter has now defaulted to desktop mode. On neither Samsung device can I see the button to move between desktop and mobile modes. I'm sure it used to be at the bottom of the page. Can anyone help me get mobile mode back on my tablet please?

Hi OP

Many thanks for raising this - we're looking into it now. We'll be along soon with an update. Flowers

Hi again

We recently made the decision to remove the option that allows users to select desktop/mobile device.

You may be able to change your settings in your browser so that the browser views the site in mobile view.

We don't have any plans to bring this back at the moment - if there's anything else we can do, just give us a shout.

Thank you @LilyMumsnet.

I really don't like the desktop view on my tablet - it's too small and jumps about and I wish it hadn't defaulted to that. I'll look at the browser settings. It's good to know that I wasn't looking for a button I couldn't see though!

Brilliant - done it from the browser settings. Many thanks!
