Any idea on when we will be able to have full desktop view on mobile devices / iphones?

Sick and tired of not having full view, nor being able to see pictures (most of the time). Have to refresh the page 4-5 times to maybe get to see some pictures.

I used the desktop site on mobile all the time. I haven't noticed an issue with it other than a banner not displaying correctly. Post a link to a thread where you hare having the pic issue because I haven't noticed it.

Morning Sid,

Did you mean "I used" or "I use", becaused I used to use full desktop version on my iphone all the time without issues but ever since the "upgrade" Im stuck on "mobile" type view and unable to change it.

Beaides that, another issue is that most of the time when I open a thread, I am unable to view pics posted.... if I refresh the page enough, it seems to eventually work... maybe....

Here is an example, where the thread doesnt always show the photos posted... http://www.svtperformance.com/forums/threads/2014-porsche-gt3.1129670/

Currently, is there a way to view the site in full destop/browser view?

Like this ?

Dont see anything... lol

But if you say that your full browser looks basically like the screen shots I post it, you might not be on desktop view after all... not sure...

I know full desktop view should look like this...

Z I've got the same issue loading pictures from my phone : ie it doesnt happen, if there's pictures I want to see I either have to wait a decade and refresh a dozen times, or go to a computer.

What browser are you using? I'm using Chrome with my iPhone 7 and the site pages come up fine, with photos, all the time.

Yeah man, its a drag... this is my home but ever since the "upgrade" to the new platform, it feels like got evicted and currently living on a buddy's couch...

I just use the safari icon on the iphone, it is all I have ever used. Didnt even know other people with iphones used anything else... lol

I use Safari

Ditto.

What platform is C5 using?

Not sure but probably whatever platform we used to use before. Cam5 and SVTP used to look identical when browsed through my iphone...

Not to jump on the bitching bandwagon but yeah super slow in Chrome on my (albeit ancient) Note 4 in comparison to the old site. Loads for ever and if I click anywhere before it's done it goes to lethal even if I am no where near the banner. All good but loses some of it function if I can finish dropping my morning douche (not the band) before it loads, might have to start buying a newspaper...

I started using Tapatalk a few weeks ago to browse forums and it's incredibly fast. The layout is different so you'll have to figure it out but it's the only way I use the forum now. Give it a shot

I havent used tapatalk but from what I know, it resembles mobil view, which is a very narrow view, opposite from the panoramic style view that I want....

Could you post a screen shot of what tapa looks like on your phone?
