You can view the forum using either a Desktop/Laptop or Mobile and Touchscreen Device
Browser’s Menu Access
Browser menu - 3 dots “⋮” Top Right corner of your display
A mobile device may be set to request either Desktop Site or Mobile Site View/Mode
Desktop/ Mobile view is set by your browser not the forum software.
N.B. A dotted underline shows that a tooltip exists and is revealed by hovering a mouse-pointer (not possible with a Touch-Screen). Also applies to most links and images
- Access to change the View/Mode is (probably) by 3 dots
Top Right corner of the browser’s window (above the Forum’s window pane)
- After selecting an option near the end of the list selects between Desktop / Mobile View.
- Toggle ‘Desktop Site’ (Wide-Screen Use Interface) or ‘Mobile’ (Narrow-Screen)' on/off.
In ‘Desktop view’ it is possible to zoom the displayed contents so triggering the Forum software’s choice of User Interface
Experimenting is easier(?) than explaining! 🙁
Add (ShortCut) To Desktop and Install App desktop-arrow-down
In the two screenshots above were also an option to “Add to Home Screen”. A further option is to Install (an App interface)
- “Add to desktop” adds a ShortCut to the desktop or phone-home screen that will open the forum’s Top-/Landing-/Home-page
- Install will create a PWA (Progressive Web Application) - a bowser based app that increases facilities (and/ but removes the browser’s menu and disables page zooming only when viewing the forum)

The Add/Install desktop-arrow-down option creates a link (installs a PWA) so you don’t have to enter the URL and can receive Push Notifications of activity you have selected to be advised about (Checking-out “Tailoring your Notifications in your profile” is Recommended!
Changing Your Device’s Selected View When In The App
IF you have downloaded and installed the App to view the forum - The browser’s menu isn’t accessible in the app’s window! but the App still follows the browser’s setting 🙁
Open a browser window not the App
- Enter the forum URL
https://big-exams.logicalmodel.net/flarum
(maybe in incognito mode? to prevent automatic redirection to the App)
- Now you can use three dots ellipsis-vertical and select the option to toggle Mobile / Desktop Mode
