How to view FULLSITE instead of MOBILSITE on most sites.
I'm suprised no one else has tried this.
1) Bookmark the site you want to hit as a FULL SITE rather than a MOBIL VERSION.
2) go to the site as usual, and LET it bump you to the mobil version.
3) find "VIEW FULL SITE" link & click on it (most sites have that option somewhere), if they don't, you're screwed. As far as I know if there's no link for "VIEW FULL SITE", or something like it, there's nothing you can do.
4) BEFORE the page finishes loading (i.e. before it gets the chance to bump you to the mobil site) click on the URL field of your browser, "select all", and "copy".
5) Open your bookmarks, hit "edit", choose the bookmark for the site, hit "edit", choose the currently listed URL for that bookmark, "select all", "paste", hit "done" to return you to the bookmark list, hit "done" again to finish editing the bookmarks.
And that's it. Now what you have for your bookmark for that site IS the VIEW FULL SITE link for the webpage. From now on out everytime you use the bookmark to get to that site, it skips taking you to the main site (that automatically bumps you to the mobil site), and instead sends you directly to the FULL SITE.
Easy peasy.
Sometimes, to get to pages within the full site without getting bumped to a mobil version of that particular page, you have to - again - before the page finished loading, click on the URL field and add this to the end of the URL:
/?noredirect=true
This doesn't always work, but it does most times, and even when it works, whenever they redesign the website you often have to re-edit your bookmark.
It ain't perfect, but most of the time I've found it works.
(my quibble with those that think we should all just put up w/mobil sites because they load faster or whatever)
Doesn't change the fact that most mobil sites STINK big time.
With most mobil sites you can't zoom in on things. Try to read something like a flow chart on an iPhone without zooming in to read the itzy-bitzy writing. Or to read the labels on the axises of a graph, names or cross streets on a map... suck it up and face reality guys- mobil sites that lack the ability to zoom are GARBAGE, and a total waste of time.
Additionally, few if any mobil sites allow you to so much as see, let alone participate, in the comments section. Just because they load a litte quicker in no way at all makes up for the downsides often associated with getting bumped to a blasted mobil site. For the most part mobil versions of a site are NOT a service to those visting your site, they're an intolerable pain in the ass--prin.
