content: Gone for me too today. Now I get an annoying popup for tapatalk, and when I cancel it I get the desktop site.

Switched to using the Android Browser instead of Chrome and it's backQuote from: zapta on August 01, 2015, 02:01:10 amIt works, but the text is too large and it doesn't keep track of what I've read etc between the desktop and my phone. For me and how I use stuff it's sort of like having a less readable, less functional, overly busy version of the mobile web pages. Thanks for the suggestion though.

content: I seem to consistently get either the mobile or the desktop version on my phone for a month or two before it flips to the other for no apparent reason, perhaps a cookie expiring. I actually prefer the desktop version but I'm not that fussed. Tried tapatalk and really didn't get on with it. The "get tapatalk" prompts seem to appear occasionally but I'm not sure what controls when I see them.

content: Does anyone know if there is a way to permanently select the non-mobile version? I hate the mobile version with a passionAnd for good measure I also hate this tapatalk thingyTo answer the original question: on IOS I consistently get the tapatalk question as well as the mobile version.
