Mobile version of overclockers on Chrome/Android

Semple · 28 Nov 2021 at 19:25

I used to get the mobile version of overclockers forums on Chrome on Android. I did something yesterday that converted it to normal desktop view - not via the "Desktop site" option as I can swap to another website and get the mobile version so this is unique to overclockers forum.

Anyone accidentally done the same and know how to reverse it?

I did something similar the other day, clearing my cookies fixed it

You can only undo this by clearing your cookies. When on the mobile version there's a button for the desktop version at the bottom of the page, but no button for the mobile version.

there's 'Desktop Version' and 'Mobile version' option on the bottom bar, alongside Classic Blue/Contact Us/Help etc

Bingo that's sorted it! You can't see the option when on dark mode, but I bet it's still there.

Cheers.

Yep, this happened to me, you have to change to the default blue theme to get the option of the link to go back to mobile version.

Hahaha this. It seems that suddenly everyone has done this. I myself just spent a day trying to work out what the hell I had done.

Thread needs stickying for us noobs

Yep either that, or bug needs fixing.

there must be some 'loophole' with this

just changed to the dark theme on Android/ Chrome to see the difference...yupp no options showing at the bottom to change the theme, or mobile/desk version, couldn’t even change the theme by going to the preferences page, the option was there but just didn’t work

cleared cookies and everything works as expected now

thinking about it I’m sure I had to make a thread on here ages ago because I managed to get it stuck on dark mode!
