Is there still a "sort" feature on the threads somewhere? We used to be able to sort by most likes...was helpful to weed out a lot of the chat on the picture threads.

Just don't do the next line of that song... I'm partial to Mississippi Squirrel Revival myself...

No.

So I have an idea I floated the idea in a relivant thread & stayed on topic too.... So here's my idea, w/reply & a few types of "likes" too.

What are to odds this idea has any chance to become a reality?

Full disclosure @Kiki didn't put me up to it. (Giggles)

So, thoughts? Suggestions? bad Puns? (preferred)

And now for a simple question for phone/Android browsing.

1) is there a way to switch to "full desktop view" on my phone? Case in point, there is a small button in Gmail & a couple other websites -always seems to be in lower right corner- that allows one to choose to view in desktop format & not mobile format.

2) if that isn't an option than, how do I find the forum "tree" of folders like one can so easily see in the desktop format? So that I can go-to the correct folder to then go in and start a thread in the correct folder? Every now and then I open or refresh a page here in BYC on my phone's browser and I see a scaled down version of it but, I can never tell when I will see it and I can't seem to get it to show at all today. The featured and new threads list is all I seem to get to see.

What am I missing? Is there a button? Bar? ASCII code?

As usual, thanks for your awesome work here!

The way that most websites are going, rather than having a separate page for mobile and one for desktop, the website checks how wide your screen is and automatically shifts depending on the screen width. You should be able to turn your phone sideways to get the "desktop version" and upright to get the "mobile version". You can also test things on Mobile by squashing your browser side to side until the version changes.

Yup even cold rebotted my phone & cleared all cache too.

Tried the rotate the screen "sideways" no better either. I guess it's a awkward querk of the Moto X4 Android phone.... (Shrugs)

I have tried this several times too, can seem to get it to squash or what have you. Even in sideways view it does add an icon or two but, not the full view I see in the PC's monitor upstairs. (Shrugs)
