Mobile site sucks

I don't like the mobile version of the site. You can't see who is posting what in the thread titles. Also my phone won't let me get back to the normal site. Please help.

Just scroll to the bottom of the mobile page and hit "Normal Version" to go back to the full site.

That did not work for me, at least not my mobile phone (BB Torch). In the end, cleared cookies, etc, re-launched browser, and was again prompted about the mobile version......, just selected no.

Any thoughts on why the mobile site appears like this on an iPhone 3GS?

I use this site all the time on my iPhone, and I've never been prompted to use the mobile site. I'm ok with that though, it views 99% of what you'd see on a computer.

Ditto, I prefer the mobile site for the load speed and faster scrolling (yes, I have a modern fast smartphone). It's not perfect (missing many functions, particularly for moderating) but great for reading.

But again, if you want the normal site, just scroll to the very bottom of the index page and you can select which version you'd prefer to view.

Hey guys!

IB is working on a scalable mobile site for all the automotive communities. I'm sorry, but there is no release date available at this time. I use an Evo 4G and surf the site as fast and as complete as my desktop.

Can somebody tell me HOW TO GET BACK TO THE NORMAL SITE???. My iPhone 4 just refreshes the screen when u hit normal screen. This is 2011, most smart phones need little help on full sites. The mobile version is wayyy too watered down, get me put of here!!
