I prefer the non-mobile site when browsing on my iPhone and mostly the phone loads that version, starting today I cannot get the full html site to load even after clicking the link at the bottom of the page. I have cleared history, cookies, and cache yet it always reverts to the mobile site. Anyone having this problem or a solution?

Can't say I can help but I keep having this same problem nothing I do seems to effect it however if I had to guess then it is probably is something wonky on the server side.

Same problem here. Would love to have it fixed. I don't like the mobile site much.

It was a side effect of cacheing we had turned on to maintain site performance during a period of high traffic. We turned the cacheing off last night and that solved the problem getting to the non-mobile site from a mobile device.

Thanks for fixing that, I thought It would be something like that. Good to know.

I assume that you turned the cache back on since this problem is happening again. Is there any way to satisfy your cache needs while keeping our ability to choose the non-mobile site?

Same here. Click on the link for the full site and it just reloads the mobile one. Argh. Hate it!

I am still having this problem also.

I strongly dislike the mobile site, and I cannot change back to the full version.

Yes, we're aware of the issue, and it is once again due to the caching setup we have in place to handle the high traffic we've been seeing. Hopefully we can get things back to normal relatively soon, but with arn on the road in San Francisco, it's a matter of getting both the site and ourselves in a position to make sure things are running smoothly and making the transition back.

Your patience is appreciated. :)
