Turn off smartphone mode
Title says it all. When at school, I am sometimes on old Debian computers with an outdated Iceweasel version (3.0.6 to be precise), and it seems to force the site into smartphone mode on my face. I think there is a link to switch to smartphone mode on bottom of page when you're on normal mode, is it possible to have it the other way around at all ?

Re: Turn off smartphone mode
Smartphone mode is triggered when the horizontal resolution of the browser window is under a certain amount. In theory, anyway; not sure how your browser version affects this.

Re: Turn off smartphone mode
Well, this is a 1280x1024 screen.


EDIT: all in all it's not really a big deal. I blame my school for using outdated software, and I can still use the forum fine. However, if it was possible to force non-smartphone mode with a simple click, I would sure appreciate it :)

Re: Turn off smartphone mode
It does say "Smartphone: portrait" on top right of the window, so yes, I assume this is the case. However I cannot exclude the "browser just being full of bork" theory, given the outdatedness of this Iceweasel version... In which case, there nothing much we can do.

Re: Turn off smartphone mode
The wap2 mode is dumbphone mode. Modern smartphones are quite able to render full web pages, and do not need the WAP workaround (WAP being a stripped-down, dumbed down version of html that can be squirted quickly over GPRS or EDGE connections).

This is what HLP looks like on my phone:
