Topic Wiki

I figured that even this thread can have a wiki.
If your computer or phone is giving you issues:

• Please read this before posting: 4 Reasons Why IT People Ignore Your Requests for Help
• Restart the computer. Hopefully this will take care of any issues
• If your problem has not yet been solved, try to Google it. There may be a very simple solution
• On a Windows computer, a system restore may do the trick.
(This is a work in progress, please feel free to add whatever you may feel is helpful)


Please post whether or not the problem was fixed

By default its set to auto-save at preset intervals of time. You should be able to retrieve those versions in the file menu.
Ik but it hasn't been saving for a while.

Not really.  I don't recall ever useing a mobile site on my computer.  The question is how to get rid of it and get it back to normal.  TIA

If its a cookies issue, deleting your browser history (including cookies) may help. Warning, it will probably delete all your auto-entries...passwords, forms, and the like. Can't say for sure, as I'm not a buki..

In Chrome or Firefox, press control-shift-delete. It may be a good idea to delete your cache as well as cookies. See if that helps. It shouldn't delete passwords etc. unless those items are checked off.

It's information your browser sends about you when viewing any page.  Click the link I posted, and send me the long string.

Is your browser window maximized? What resolution is your screen set to? Some sites show the mobile site when the browser window is small enough to be construed as a mobile device. If the resolution is too low, perhaps even a maximized window would end up being too small. For the other posters' idea of it being a cookie issue, incognito mode should save you the trouble of deleting cookies for nothing; you would only delete the cookies if incognito mode solves the issue.
