Topic: Ideas for the site

@Zuljaras I had the same issue a while back on Pure Xbox. Seems it defaulted to desktop for some reason - scrolling to the bottom of the page and on the banner at the bottom (about us , staff etc) there should be a 'Mobile Version' button on there. Clicking that fixed it for me

I've been having the same issue on my phone for the last week or two. Clicking the "Switch to Mobile" button flickers to mobile for a second then switches back to Desktop mode. I finally have resigned myself to just accepting it. Even now as I type this, it's in Desktop mode on my phone.

Galaxy S21 running the latest build of Android, btw.

@dmcc0
I remember that button used to exist but I can't find it now. Here's what the page bottom looks like on my phone

@dmcc0 @JaxonH So I am not alone!

@JaxonH That's odd - I specifically checked my phone before posting and changed to desktop just to make sure it was still there. Admittedly I'm not using the latest version of Android as my old Huawei phone doesn't support it, so could be an issue with latest version?

Edit: Just noticed @Zuljaras is also using a Samsung phone too. What browser are you using? Chrome here

@Zuljaras @JaxonH hmm okay, in that case, can you visit: https://www.mydevice.io/ and screenshot me the results (feel free to email to [email protected]). Although I think the issue is that the user strong doesn't identify as a mobile AND the width is 1080px therefore the site assumes it's a tablet.

@antdickens I have sent the screenshots you wanted.

@dmcc0
I'm using Samsung Internet, btw

@JaxonH Same here It is very convenient for me to just tap on google and NintendoLife is the first thing that pops up

So,

I just tested Chrome, and it works fine in Mobile mode, and, the "Desktop" button is present at the bottom of the page.

So it seems it's an issue with Samsung Internet, specifically.

@JaxonH I just tested with Chrome as well but I get the same issue

@Zuljaras
Clearing cookies fixed it for me.

In Samsung Internet go to Settings > Personal Data > Delete Browsing Data

@JaxonH Still the same. And if it happens only on NintendoLife and no other site I doubt that the cookies will fix something

@Zuljaras
[Shrug]

It only happened on NintendoLife for me too, and yet it fixed it so...

Ya, Idk. Just sharing what worked for me

@JaxonH updating that it worked for me as well! Maybe I did not do it properly the last time. Cleared the cache and used the mobile version button.

@JaxonH @Zuljaras glad you both got it working again

With blocked users I feel the system is flawed. Say you get blocked now you can’t see their comments. That is not the problem, but sometimes comments make no sense when they are responding to a user who’s comments you can’t see. Why not just tweak it to let you see their comments but you can’t respond. This would keep you from responding to them and allow you to get context of the conversation.

Sounds a bit impractical. How would the site prevent you from replying to the other person specifically? (while still allowing you to reply to everybody else?)

@Eel
Just a thought it’s really not that big of a deal. I’m not going to lose any sleep if I can’t see two users comments.( not meant to be aggressive if it sounds that way)

@blindsquarel oh don't mind me too much, when it comes to suggesting updates and ideas for the site, I don't have any more authority than you or any other user.

I was genuinely curious about how would that work.
