Topic: Ideas for the site

Here's our first poll:

Should we have polls?

-yes
-no

In all seriousness, I'd like it.

True, that would be cool.
PS sorry for double posting above in the forum.

Currently the mobile "version" of the site is displayed like the PC one. It starts in mobile view but then it switches to monitor view.

That happened 2 days ago and it is still occurring.

I am with Galaxy S8+ if that helps.

@Zuljaras Nothing has changed on the site, so maybe you clicked the desktop link by mistake or clicked the ‘view desktop version’ in your browser by mistake. Try going to nintendolife.com/mobile to ensure you’re not in desktop mode.

@antdickens I use the same link every time. And when I go to Nintendolife.com/mobile only the first page in in mobile resolution. After I tap on forums for example it goes to desktop again.

Very weird.

@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.
