Hey guys.

Loaded the site on my Iphone 3GS 32GB (IOS4) It does not autoload the Mobile theme and whenever I set the theme to Mobile it refreshes and goes back to Classic Grey / Gold.

Thanks
MKF

The mobile skin is basically the classic skin with some features disabled and a smaller header. Is the logo still very large on your phone, or is it the same height as the advert banner?

I'd really appreciate a picture of your screen if you can muster one up.

Here you Go.

Banner has got smaller but the text sizing issues are still the same.

I dont have an iphone so cannot test myself just yet. I'll take a look the next time I have access to one. If you have ever visited dakka before on your phone, it would use the previous default skin instead of the mobile one, but mobile will be the default from now on.

The mobile mode on my Nokia e71 does not have this text resizing bug, but then again it has only half the horizontal resolution and doesn't even try to resize anything. Id est it's probably your phone... but probably has a workaround.

The pic you posted is definitely of the mobile mode, cos you have the smaller banner.

other iphones have the same text problem, but ipads do not.

a good way to tell if it is in mobile form or not is to see how big the DAKKA DAKKA(tm) logo is. btw lego, is battery life better in mobile form?

in theory battery life might be fractionally better, but in practice there are too many variables for me to have been able to make any significant difference.

The mobile version works on my netbook, but it didn't set it to that theme automatically (no biggie!). It could be that I'm using Google Chrome to streamline things, too. Here's the info on it
