    This has possibly already been reported. Since the update to the touch site, the "Full site" button brings you to boards.ie homepage instead of the page you're on. I know there's an issue with quoting posts too at the moment so it's really annoying when you want to go to the full site and quote someone, but you have to navigate back to the page you were on!

    Not sure if it's relevant but I'm using Safari, iPhone 4S, latest iOS.

    Not sure if reported here in Site Development but we've already got it on our bug tracker. We'll update here when we get it resolved.

    As a very brief update to a secondary bug report about having issues with quoting (i.e. by clicking the reply button a post) - this should be resolved as part of this bug report. If not could you post in that thread and detail your issue? We'll keep this thread for the full site link issue :)

    This should be resolved now - we've implemented (basic) redirection to almost all the touch site pages. Pages pose a little issue and we'll return to this one when we're working on touch again.

    It should set a cookie on your browser that turns off the touch-site redirection - I'll take a look at why it might not be setting that cookie as soon as I can; thanks for the feedback

    With me since the update it started sending me to the main page when I clicked 'view full site' (reported previously).
    Since todays fix it just sends me to the start of the thread I am on but stays on the Touch site.
    2.3 Opera.

    I use the full site on my phone but I can't get onto it this morning, it keeps defaulting back to the touch site. Anything I'm doing wrong?

    Moved from Helpdesk.

    I've found the opposite to be true now. If I attempt to open touch.boards.ie today, it redirects back to the full site, whereas yesterday it stayed there.

    Thanks for moving, nightmare trying to find my way around the touch site as I'm not used to it!!

    Yeh when I click on full site it just brings me back to the top of the page.

    I'll look at this in a few minutes - it's a very simple process to get you to the touch site and back to the full site and I don't know why some phones are having difficulties..

    Can you tell me your phone model, browser version etc.

    So now if I open touch.boards.ie, it redirects to www.touch.boards.ie, which then redirects to www.boards.ie. Is this intended?

    Please clear your cookies and try to visit the touch site. We have not messed with any routing for domains as a result of this fix.

    Please open a separate bug report for tracking, I do not believe your issue to be related to this one.
