    Just checked it again, and once I get past the tapatalk, I click on New Posts, cancel the tapatalk again, visit a link, cancel the tapatalk again, and then click "First Unread" and it brings me right to the post.

    I'm testing a new method of mobile detection. Feedback appreciated.

    I was wondering what had happened. I am used to viewing this site as a web page on my IPad. It will take some time to see if this would be my preferred method of viewing. If it is not, how can I get back to viewing as a web page?

    Posting from my Sony Xperia Pro smartphone running Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. verything appears to be working fine. It says 'The Shave Den Mobile' at the top so it has detected me as being on a mobile device.

    It is my intention to not alter the viewing of the forum on tablet devices, yet auto detect phones.

    What browser are you using on your ipad. Unfortunately, I don't have an ipad, which makes testing a bit more difficult.

    The only thing I see missing from a staff point of view is any notifications of, or way to, Reported Items.

    Noted, hopefully I'll get that corrected tonight.

    I am a bit worried that detection isn't correct for tablet devices. I have an android tablet that seems to be correct, but not sure on ipads. My intention is to not force any style for tablets, and allow any to be manually selectable (with tablets).

    No worries! I am running Safari. I have no problem being the test subject if that is a help

    I'm guessing it forced you to the new mobile skin, yes?

    At this point! Yes. I tried clearing the cashe and rebooted the IPad but still only have the ability to view as a mobile device.

    Everything works good on my phone. Motorola Atrix, Android 2.3.7 -Dolphin Browser, takes me to the mobile site automatically.
