IPad mini profile pages.

I think NS auto-detects a device's screen size and adjusts parts of the site to fit it appropriately. However for my iPad mini member profiles show up as they should for a tiny mobile device like so:



The normal profile page for desktops works way better for anything iPad mini size and up IMO. Mostly because of the PM function, I can't fucking stand the tiny quick message box, and there's no other way to send a real message.

If I remember correctly (my ipad is in my car right now and I don't feel like getting it, haha), landscape mode will change it to the full version. Not a full fix, but it'll help temporarily.

My bad, for some reason I thought it changed it after refreshing in landscape, just tested and it didn't. I know I was able to hack into full site mode on my ipad at some point, but can't remember how.

I'm guessing the site was changed in the backend to recognize tablets as mobile devices? The only thing I think it makes different is profile pages and the 'convenience' of being able to stayed logged into a PC and a tablet simultaneously. Not a worthy change as far as the messaging system goes though. I know that sounds dumb but in my time on NS I think I've sent over like 1700 messages? Now I probably won't send any from my tablet.

This works if you want to send a real message to someone. It takes some work but it's better than using the shitty little messaging box. Use the link below and then just change the last set of numbers to the member ID of the person you want to message. The link below has my member ID so it will send messages to me.

This link should send messages to Mr.Bishop.
