I've had some problems using the DJI Forum on my Android phone. Usually I prefer using it on my PC, but have tried to occasionally use it with my phone and have encountered a couple of annoying issues.

For instance, I tried reading PMs between me and a DJI representative, but when using the mobile version of the site, I see no menu that would allow me to read the PMs directly. To be able to read them (if I'm lucky), I need to sign in, then sign out, then on the signout page click the small 'PC Version' link at the bottom of the page (It used to be on other pages of the site as well, but alas, seems to be no more elsewhere on the mobile site), then sign in again, then proceed to read the PMs the usual way they are read on PC. And even then, I only seem to be able to read the last message on the PM discussion, if even that (sometimes it just gives me a message saying there are no relevant PMs on the discussion to be read).


Sure there must be an easier way to read them, and all of them! What am I missing here? As of now, the mobile site seems to be somewhat of a torso and limited on it's functions.

I used to do that too, but for some reason it has become harder to find that desktop version link from the site. For some reason, it doesn't show up for me on most pages of the forum. The only way nowadays I manage to find it is to sign in and then out, and on the logout page is the link. And it does feel a bit complicated to have to sign in twice to be able to read the PM. And occasionally, for some reason, it still occasionally switches back to the mobile version, hence why I'd rather use the forums on my laptop computer.

No, my phone is an Android phone. An OnePlus 5 with Android 10 and OxygenOS 10.0.1, to be precise. Using Chrome as the browser in it.

In chrome settings under content settings you can set default sites view to desktop.

Thanks, good to know this. While I'm not sure if I want it to default to desktop mode with every site I am using with my phone, it's good to know that I can switch this from the settings as a workaround if I need to check the forums on the go. :-)

Yes. Some sites work just fine (or even better than in desktop mode when using a phone) in mobile mode, but others do feel quite limited in that mode.

That seemed to happen to me too, when trying to use the site on Android.
