Okay, so I figure a lot of our members may be accessing this site from mobile, and it can be kind of confusing, so I'm gonna put this quick guide together and hopefully it'll help some people!
To begin with, the mobile layout looks drastically different from our computer layout, and if you stick with the mobile layout, you'll be missing a lot of things. Luckily, the computer version still looks pretty good on mobile without losing functionality, and it's easy to switch.
Mobile Site:
Clean and basic, but may be confusing to navigate.
Desktop Site:
Looks a lot friendlier and has the added functions/info boxes. It's just a little big for mobile but it isn't a huge deal.
Before you go in and manually switch, scroll down to the bottom of the mobile site and look for a button that says "Desktop" or "Switch to Desktop." You might not get the option, and that's fine, but that's the easy way to switch.
In your mobile browser settings, there should be an option to "Request Desktop Version" or something similar. I have a Samsung Galaxy and use the default Samsung internet browser, so that's the option for me. However, if you have a different phone and the way to change views is different, let me know and I'll add it here!
However, sticking with the default mobile theme isn't terrible. It's very basic and easy to access once you're used to it, you're just missing out on some features, but if you will be also be checking the site from a computer, it's not a big deal.
I'm actually writing this from my phone right now, so I will make this a little more thorough when I can get on my laptop, but in the meantime, if anyone has questions about the mobile site, let me know!
