Historically, Discourse has had two distinct views for mobile and desktop. Over the years, these have tended to converge towards more modern viewport-width-based design. Those modern patterns are documented here . In the latest version of Discourse , we are replacing the user-agent-based detection of…

Had to uncheck as recent updates show mobile view on foldable phones when folded and desktop view when opened full

[Bild] pmcpa: desktop view when opened full Folding phones is one of the reasons that we made this change. The feedback we’ve received elsewhere is that folding phones should show more on the screen when unfolded. Showing the ‘desktop view’ there is intentional. Is there a particular part of…

Font size decreases, clicking on a thread or category changes from tapping anywhere on the entire line (mobile) to must tap on text (desktop), Menu goes from drop down (mobile) to taking up 1/3 of the screen on the left (desktop) thus erasing any gain in screen size. These are just a few off the top…

We just upgraded to the most recent version and started getting complaints from users until I realised I needed to uncheck the viewport based mobile mode admin setting. A substantial number of our older community members prefer to view topics by category, so we have a navigation link to ?mobile_view…

The viewport based mobile mode setting will be removed soon, and ?mobile_view=1 will stop working. So if you can collect some more specific feedback from users (or direct them here to share it), that would be great. [Bild] stuwest: substantial number of our older community members prefer to vie…

I believe it’s to cut down on overwhelm. I can’t screenshot the forum because we handle confidential information, but there’s a lot more clutter in the Categories with featured topics mode in desktop view compared to the categories page in mobile view.

Thanks! Tbh, we are long overdue on removing the setting. All of our design work now assumes it remains enabled, and I’m sure there are plenty of bugs which will occur when it’s turned off. For that horizon issue, we should try to get it fixed without touching this setting.
