What "is" mobile view?
 
If I turn it on, some mobiles can see a different view and other users (iPad for example) complain. I cant find any meaty documentation on what this feature is, what it does, how it works so wondering if you could explain here please?
 
Also some people are complaining that their session information is not being stored. So we have a post a , the user b reads, but then when user b comes back, post a is showing as unread. I dont have the full details but the question is, has "Latest forums posts" altered or how the cookie is stored? (I am set to store in the DB so I dont think its "switching machines" thats the issue)
 
Thanks

Mobile view will detect if the person is connecting with a mobile devices and will switch to use a version which is easier to read on mobile devices like mobile phones.

Tablet users often have a larger screen and so do not always need the mobile view and so can switch to 'Classic Desktop View' buy clicking the 'View in Classic' on the forums homepage to see the forum in the standard desktop view. This setting will be remembered so they do not need to select it again on the same device.

The unread/read post notification is based on the last time the user visited the forum which is updated every 2 minutes. This can mean that occasionally posts a user read in the last 2 minutes of their last forum session may be shown again as unread in the next visit.
