If you cannot get full funcionality of a website on an iphone just use the share button and scrool to the right until you see "request desktop site" hit that and the website will now be in full site not mobile site.

 

Very handy in myo2 on here.

I noticed someone was having problems this morning @adamtemp64. Is this just a glitch or an ongoing issue?

@Cleoriff no this is just how the internet works if a company has a mobile version of its website a mobile will use it unless you tell the website you want the full version. some sites have a tab to chose it (like this community) or as above the browser can request it (o2 main site)

That's just like any other mobile used on here then? Makes you wonder why full view isn't set as default.

I always chose full view from the bottom of the page when on o2 but you can set it as default in browser settings if you wish.
You may not want all in desktop view though as some sites would just mean you are pinching, zooming and scrolling way too much.
