Anyone else who accesses the forum with a Moblie phone Notice?

I check the forum sometimes during the day on my iPhone. At the end of last week the forum software started treating the moblie Safari web browser as a desktop browser showing the normal view using a desktop computer. The moblie web version only shows up on the Main forum page which is the link to each section. When you click on a section it goes to the desktop version.

Don't know if many of the mod's here access the forum with a mobile phone during the day but the Desktop version on the small screen is not my favorite way to view. I wish the forum would add the plug in for the mobile app access such
Forumrunner and tapatalk
This would allow easier access especially with the new Forum software which kind unfriendly to mobile devices as all the posting options are not available to the user who is using a mobile device. I use the iPad at night on the couch to read the forum and use the desktop view instead of the mobile but miss the posting format buttons.

Mobile users your thoughts?

I have noticed the same thing on my Droid. Sometimes for no reason I can think of, the formatting changes as I click to access another page. Once it changes, I have not been able to figure out how to get it to go back. And you are correct, it is more difficult to read.

It worked normal today. Would love to be able to use the above two app's on my iPhone they make accessing forums alot easier.
I use the iPhone at work when the companies Firewall is blocking image sites like Photobucket or Flickr. From reading the app's website there is only a vbulletin plug in to be installed to get it working.
