It looks very much the same on my iPhone.

You can fix this by closing the window with the glitched mobile view community. If you have a shortcut on your home screen, delete it.

Then open the Justin Guitar website, scroll to the small print links at the bottom and click “community”. That will open a login screen that defaults to the web view of the community. You can then save that to your Home Screen and it will work, unless you go switch it to mobile view again. Then you would need to do it all over again.

The solution offered by @Jamolay works. But there’s another way to switch from mobile view to desktop view.

You won’t be able to do it from the hamburger menu on your phone since the screen keeps reloading, but you can enter any JG Community url in your Android/iOS browser and change the mobile_view parameter from ‘?mobile_view=1’ to ‘?mobile_view=0’.

This forces mobile view off:

https://community.justinguitar.com/?mobile_view=0

And this would force mobile view back on:

https://community.justinguitar.com/?mobile_view=1

This is a guitar tuition website. We can’t be expected to be IT experts and create workarounds.:grinning: Hopefully all will be sorted out soon.
At the moment (Thursday 20.30 UTC) I can’t access either the JG website or the Community on my iPhone. I can access both on my iPad.

I had the same problem yesterday with the community site not opening correctly on my Android phone. I use Chrome and access the community thru the link on the Justin Guitar website.

I cleared my browser history and logged back into the Justin Guitar site, then accessed the community and it worked fine.

Until recently, when I created a post on my iPad, I would see the editing screen on the left, which would show the formatting code (Markdown, presumably)

And on the right, I would see a preview screen, which showed the post as it would actually display.

Sometime in the last few days, the preview screen has disappeared…and I really miss it!

Anyone else seeing this? Is there some option that I now have to turn on?

It’s not apperaring on my Samsung tablet either when I’m typing but it appears it I tap the screen before posting. There us also a full screen mode and down size ootion.
Just another Change for the sake of Change thing.

Yeah, I hate that - especially when they don’t bother to post a change log.

I tried again today, and noticed a “>>” button in the lower right corner that I don’t think was there yesterday. That brought the preview pane back.
