Vlad Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 Since a forum update a few weeks ago, the "Mark site read" button that used to be in the top-left menu on the mobile version of the forum has gone missing. Is this deliberate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perdu Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 I WISH it was missing on mine I keep hitting the expurgated thing on scrolling and losing track of builds I have seen On my tablet it sits exactly in the finger swipe zone I detest the thing I don't know if I'm using a Mobile Version though, maybe I should hunt it out if my nemesis is missing 😱😨. 🍻I'll go seeking enlightenment, thanks🍻 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this deliberate? Are you requesting the desktop site on your mobile? I suspect not, but I have to ask. The menu is in the top right for me, and if you click Account from that menu, you should see Mark Site Read near the bottom. Does that solve your problem? If not, can you show me a screen shot please? 15 minutes ago, perdu said: I WISH it was missing on mine I keep hitting the expurgated thing on scrolling and losing track of builds I have seen On my tablet it sits exactly in the finger swipe zone I detest the thing it's not universally liked, but has been a feature for as long as I can remember. I moved the VNC button a bit to help a few members with shaky hands from hitting it by mistake, but AFAIK I can't remove it. We don't get many complaints about it TBH, but when we do, they're quite about it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On desktop that button is just in the middle of the ribbon at the top of the page, not under any menus. And yes, found it now, thank you! It did move, it used to just he in the first page of that menu, without having to go into the "Account" section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's probably better off there, as not many people like it Don't feel bad for not spotting it - there are a few things about the mobile version/skin that I don't find particularly intuitive, but it's got such a huge improvement in functionality from the older cobbled-together mobile versions that it's worth it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robvulcan Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 How do you get the desktop site on mobile I prefer it to the mobile one and can’t find the option anymore ? cheers Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blaubar Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 (edited) On chrome on the bottom right are thee dots, which open a menu once pushed. In that menu there is a line „request Desktop Site“ It is slow and not as quick n easy to navigate with a smartphone, however.

I just had a quick look on chrome app and can see what you mean however don’t seem to work for me. I’m on an iPhone maybe that’s why. It used to be a website feature. i just prefer using the main site sometimes for familiarity. cheers Rob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blaubar Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 (edited) I'm on an iPhone, too and as I dislike Safari and all Apple stuff except for the phone, I am only using Chrome... I'll upload a few screenshots for u to flickr, gimme a minute. Ok, strange. It used to work on BM, now the desktop site feature does not work here anymore on my iPhone either. (I tried other websites, they display the desktop version just fine...) weird. Edited November 18, 2018 by Blaubar 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a feeling it’s more to do with the settings of the new update perhaps a mod can help. i ain’t keen on safari either. Love the hardware such as phone and iPad. As for software and the caged in restrictions and exclusivity of Apple not good. Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blaubar Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 Then it should look like this: but sadly it still looks like this Strange. But no prob for me, as I never use the desktop site. Good luck to you. Cheers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
