Probably useless suggestion for eabmobile

Maren · 19 October 2010, 10:59

Would it be acceptable to include a small link/button in the eabmobile pages that redirects people to the very same page but for full-featured computer browsers? E.g. you find an eabmobile page when googling for something with your computer browser, you open it, you see everything's slimmed down to be suitable for mobile devices, but then you click a button and voila, you're browsing the normal page.

This would be akin to modifying the URL to use "eab" instead of "eabmobile"

Regards.

It used to exist...

but seems you're right, it doesn't anymore.

I'd second it if I used it!

Indeed. This usually happens when doing a general search through Google and the search result gives links to (very) old posts on EAB.

For me is not much of an issue, since I use for quite some time the search function of EAB, but for whoever comes from Google would be nice to have such an option.

The problem is that the built-in search function isn't as good as Google for searching EAB

Also think it's a good idea to have that button.

And you have a really valid point.

Just copy and paste the thread/post ID to a regular EAB link.

[Edit] In fact, the links seem to be identical, except for the "mobile" bit. [/Edit]

But yeah, I do like links of that sort. They make things more convenient.
