Please, could we at least get a toggle to switch back to the full site when viewing on a mobile device? This is a feature most sites with mobile versions offer. I really do not like the current mobile version, as documented elsewhere, and would love to have the option to kick back to full.

Also, I do not want to set my device to "desktop mode" as there are plenty of mobile format sites that work and I use them as such on my device. So please, pretty please, with sugar, sprinkles, whip cream and a cherry on top, can I get a "View Full Site" link on the mobile site?

I voted yes. Well if there was a poll I would have. Granted, the new mobile site is a dramatic improvement to the old one.

I second that, not because I want it myself, coz now the site works on my phone, but I know there are other sites that I actually use desktop version of it on my phone so i can understand his Point of view

Use Chrome and the three dot on the side and there you can view full site. don't know about Safari but at the bottom of the page it has a desktop monitor that make mine go to full site. I have the iPhone 6 plus don't know if that makes a difference.

Status changed from 'Planned' to 'Completed' - You can now toggle between the desktop and mobile versions of the site while on your mobile device. To enable the desktop site, simply click the Desktop button located at the bottom of each page. You can toggle back to the mobile site using a link that will be positioned at the top of the page. It saves this setting as a cookie, so your preference should carry over the next time you visit the site from that device.
