Charles, you will need an extension to re-enable this feature, or modify the templates so they do it. The extension to do this can be found at https://www.phpbb.com/customise/db/extension/elonw/

Thanks! Looks nice.

I still have some work to do and I'll install that one too.

Thanks,
Chas.

As long as you're still doing work, if there's an extension that makes the Quick Links dropdown on mouseover, that would be greatly appreciated. I suspect that was done for mobile devices, since they can't mouseover things, but media queries can make the site work differently for different screen sizes.

One possible suggestion: I noticed that clicking a link now takes one away from the forum completely and to that other website, instead of just opening another tab automatically for that linked website. Could this be changed?

Andy, I've added the extension to force all links to open in a new tab.

I'll see if one's available.

I installed an extension that is supposed to do what you ask, but it doesn't work. I'll keep looking.

Charles,

Is it possible for us mobilers to have an option to view the desktop site? I know the mobile version is convenient for most people but I always seek out the desktop version when available on mobile sites.

Thanks!

Sorry, but I don't know what you are asking. I believe this is a responsive template like the newer Joomla/Rockettheme templates.

I do this from my browser on my mobile devices, seems to work in all by chrome. Not sure why but chrome just redraws the mobile version.

I believe what the OP was referring to is an option to display the "desktop" style version when viewing in a mobile device. Several sites I frequent have similar buttons. They automatically detect the mobile connection and provide a device appropriate display, but sometimes one would like to look at the "usual" desktop version on a mobile device. The sites provide a button (link) so do so

Spot on Piney! Sorry for the confusion Charles, but I would prefer to have the option to view a desktop version on a mobile device as Piney stated.

I've added an extension that should allow Members to change the setting in their User Control Panel to allow full width display on whatever device they are using.

The User Control Panel is under your name in the upper right of the screen. From there, select "Board preferences," then select "Edit display options." Scroll to the bottom of the page and set "Use maximum width" to "yes."

I don't know if this will address the desktop v. mobile version or not.

I installed the other style that was available with the older software, but it was terrible! It rendered very poorly and at least some of the extensions I added did not work with it. Oh well, . . .
