For some reason hibs.net is showing up on my mobile browser as if tit was on my desktop all of a sudden. Threads disappear off the side of the screen and it's a pain in the arse to navigate.
Is anyone else experiencing this or have I just clicked some button unintentionally? If so where is the button???
Any help appreciated - cheers.

Two possibilities that I'm aware of:
- The desktop/mobile setting on hibs.net itself has changed (either because you did it accidentally or it just reset itself). In that case, at the very bottom left of any thread or forum page there is a dropdown box – if you're in the desktop view then it probably says "-- hibs.net vb4". Change it to "-- hibs.net Lite" to get the mobile view.
- Your browser may be overriding the website and requesting the desktop site. In Chrome this appears in the three dots menu, if "Desktop site" is ticked when you have a hibs.net page open then untick it.

If I can just steal Martin Boyle's thunder for a moment - STAR MAN!!!
The bit in bold was the answer - must have changed it by mistake with my sausage fingers .
Many thanks :top marks :not worth :aok:

I’ve done it accidentally before.
I have an iPhone and if I delete my browsing history completely and then come back on Hibs.net it’ll be back on the mobile version, although I’ll have been signed out.

Same thing has happened to me.
Samsung Galaxy Tab 7+, Samsung Internet.
Its not just hibs.net it's all sites. It might remember mobile site for a couple of clicks but will revert to desktop.
Everything is just as it was on my phone, Samsung Galaxy S23 ultra, Samsung Internet!
It's annoying 😒
I've moved to Chrome!
