Slight technical hitch - can anyone help? All sorted!!!

Post by Kevan Bailey »

OK, so I might have been a big noise in IT back in the seventies, but it doesn't always mean that I can deal with tech. stuff nowadays, does it?

I tend to use an Android tablet when I'm on projects like Blitzbau, as I can just photograph what I'm doing then immediately post it using only one device; dead simple, just like IT ought to be. I've always run the UAMF as a web page through Chrome on my tablet, but just a few days ago it unilaterally decided to switch me over to the Mobile mode. I don't like the look of this, but more importantly, I don't seem to be able to add images to postings.

Now, maybe I'm being dense, but I can't find a way to switch it back to its original form. Please, how do you do it? Or failing that, how do you post images in Mobile mode? Surely there must be a way.

I'm neither a phone or tablet user so I have no idea why it might be misbehaving.

In mobile mode, at least on my iPhone, there is a "Switch to Full Style" button/thingy at the top of the page/screen -- do you have that, or something similar ?

That's it for my mobile knowledge .... I do know that changes in browsers and post-image have disabled it for various users, especially IE, not sure if that isn't a contributor.

No John, no such button exists, that's what I was expecting to find!

I've just checked, and the Switch to Desktop Style button appear erm when using chrome on my desktop but does not appear when browsing via my iPhone in mobile mode .
