G'Day Gang,
I have just joined Permies and would like to know if there is a way to automatically set viewing preference to non mobile.
It seems when I first visit the site I have to scroll down through mega huge text to get to the view normal page.

Cheers
Dennis

Hello Dennis,

here is something you can try. (I actually never tried it, so I don't know if it works on permies.) For some broswers, e.g. for Firefox there are plugins, which can modify the "Default User Agent" of your browser. Most web-pages use this "User Agent" to determine if you are using a mobile device or not. The plugin adds a small menu to your browser, that allows to switch to some known "User Agent"s. Switch to some Desktop-Browser and you should be done.
But be reminded, unless you switch the "User Agent" back to 'default', all web sites, might be fooled to think you are running a desktop. (And behave accordingly)

good luck
Ludger
