And if it has gone for everyone is that a permanent thing?

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

Same here. Switched to using the Android Browser instead of Chrome and it's back :)

Tapatalk works for me.

It 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.

I was using firefox on Android 4.4.  I loaded it on Chrome, and the mobile format is back.  Would still like it fixed for firefox...

Not sure about your browser but on my Android tablet I'm using and ICS (Ice Cream Sandwitch) browser and on the settings I can change the user agent to Desktop instead of Android under Advanced Settings.

If you leave it on Android it keeps wanting to force tapatalk on you.

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.

Does anyone know if there is a way to permanently select the non-mobile version?  I hate the mobile version with a passion  |O  And for good measure I also hate this tapatalk thingy  |O

To answer the original question: on IOS I consistently get the tapatalk question as well as the mobile version.

Thanks but it doesn't make a difference since I've had the Tapatalk adds. Will probably have to clear caches but meh.

You should have a per site settings menu somewhere on your browser.
