Mistake: Mobile Site Version Forced onto iPad

Hello,

This is a bug I've wanted to report for weeks now, until Piotr reminded me of it the other day. Wink

Chess.com's server makes the mistake of displaying this site in its mobile version when I visit Chess.com on the iPad (no matter which browser on the iPad), and I only play this game on the iPad. That is a frequent mistake nowadays on the part of many servers.

However, the iPad's screen resembles those of desktop computers more than that of a telephone. Servers should not load mobile site versions onto iPads, but the normal, standard site version. My iPad browser clearly identifies itself as "iOS - iPad", so that it cannot possibly be mistaken for an iPhone by the server.

Apart from that bug, the mobile site (or forum) version in itself is buggy at least when it comes to submitting forum posts. I'm typing this on my Windows PC now, but whenever I write to these forums on the iPad (in the mobile site version I don't want), then division of forum posts into multiple paragraphs gets lost after I submit the forum post, and the whole post appears as one long paragraph. That hardly makes sense, even for a mobile version! Foot in mouth
