content: Has it changed just recently? I couldn't find any announcements or discussion. If there is one, please let me know. I am still hoping this is some kind of a glitch and things will get back to normal. I thought I had javascript disabled when I first saw this... Horrifying. Is there a setting to get the old interface back? Thanks.

content: Looks the same? Wow. It looks completely different , different color scheme, different layout, everything is different. I wonder if it is switchable or something.

content: Yes, this is a mobile interface. You can switch back and forth any time.It is easy to do by accident, since the switch link is at the bottom of every page.

That happened after I searched site:eevblog.com on google like I always do and then I followed the link. The URL looked completely normal:https://www.eevblog.com/not m.eevblog or anything. And I saw this. it was horrifying. Glad it is back to normal.

Took me a while to notice that link, it is hard to see since it is dark blue on a black background, but it is there. I don't know maybe I did click it even though I swear I never even noticed that bottom part...

content: Quote from: Electro Fan on July 22, 2024, 07:29:26 pmThe problem happens because your browser is telling websites that it's running on a small screen/mobile device so the webserver gives you the mobile version. You need to tell the browser to hide that fact from the webserver.Usually there is a setting for this. "View as Desktop" or something to that effect.

content: Quote from: Electro Fan on July 22, 2024, 07:29:26 pmIf you are running the light WAP or mobile interface, there's a "Full Site" button in the bottom right.Changing the mobile browser to report as a Desktop Site isn't particularly affected once you are running the full site (or the mobile one for that matter).Quote from: Psi on July 22, 2024, 10:16:53 pmNo, EEVblog just displays the mobile site ina desktop mode once it has decided to use the mobile version. You need to select "Full site" as above.
