iplayer is now pretty bad after its touch screen optimisation update
skysports aweful
digitalspy aweful
its ok when the desktop layout is preserved and a seperate version is made for touch, but not ok when the main layout is changed for touch.

I then have to mess around finding where the 'desktop version' option is.

Thanks for that -What I expected but I was surprised no one else had asked such an obvious question!
By lurking on these forums I deduce that my experience is pretty typical. My family covers three generations and a number of different platforms. iPads, iPhones, laptops, PC et al and I usually am using what others allow me to. But I need to be able to check stuff and I note smartphone friendly is the new norm!

request here to not change the layout, it works well now on modern pc's.
make a seperate website for mobile devices instead.

Quote from: RPMozley You don't need a separate site, it will be achieved by a mobile friendly forum skin (theme). This is usually just a more simplified layout, not any 'bangs & whistles' type of thing.
What you described is exactly what I dont want, its a myth that a site design can work well for both, designers think they do but they dont, simplification is exactyl what I dont want, sites look and feel aweful with it.
So either keep desktop focused or seperate in my view.
What you describe is what digitalspy did and its a disaster on there.

Just because one forum has done away with the desktop style altogether, does not mean every other will do the same by implementing a mobile friendly version.
So in other words, your opposition to this makes no sense, as I would think this desktop version will still remain.

fonts too big, so have to do scrolling, could be shrunk then be better, but I guess was made big for phones
