    Please help: stuck on mobile forum

    Typically what I do at most forums is go into the general settings, and choose the mobile theme/skin so that it defaults to the mobile them when I log in on my smartphone. On all my other forums, at the bottom of the page is a little link that lets me choose to view the desktop version which is what I always choose when viewing on my desktop browser: doing this doesn't reset my selection of the mobile view, it just changes it for that specific session. Thus, I can keep seeing the mobile view on my phone and I can quickly and easily access the desktop view on the desktop.

    I tried this method here and it appears I have no way back to view the desktop skin. The setting's are severely limited in the mobile view and there is no link anywhere that will allow me to revert to the default desktop view. Please help me so I don't have to open a new account!

    Clear your browser's cookies. If you don't know how, let me know what type of browser you have and I'll see if I can help.

    I've not really had a chance to look at the mobile skin since I became an admin so please bear with us on that.

    Well fortunately I use my phone for forum browsing so Tapatalk will work for most things.

    If there's a way to simply reset my account data that'd probably work. It's not like I have a massive post count or tons of rep that I'd be worried about losing: having access to the regular layout is far more important to me at this point.

    As for clearing cookies, that will not help since I set the forum skin in the settings. Obviously as soon as I log out I can view the forum normally, the problem comes when I'm logged in.

    In any case I appreciate you looking into it.

    Actually I think I had that issue. I don't know if I did something different than you, I just clicked mobile in the skin selection drop down at the bottom of the page. I just deleted the cookies to the site and it fixed everything.

    Sorry it took so long -- I set your default theme back to Forum Default.
