What happened with the forum interface?

[bezzada]

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.

Looks the same to me. Sometimes it glitches out though. Refreshing the page works for me.

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

Looks the same here as always mate, maybe your browser skin choice is affecting the look =

You seem to be on mobile.  Follow the menus.

OK thanks.

Yes, I cleared the cookies and it is now back to normal.  I don't know what that was... Maybe it somehow switched to a no javascript mode or something even though I never disabled js...  Anyway glad it is back to normal.

Your browser seems to be using the crappy mobile version of the website, tapa-talk or whatever its called.

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.

Tapatalk and the mobile site and completely different. This is the mobile site. Tapatalk no longer works here.

Click Full Site in bottom right.

That is really odd. 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.

Ah! 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...

How do you get the "app" to go away and stay away and just let the full site render on any device in a browser?  Thx

The 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.

If 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).

No, 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.
