Can I Force Mobile View?

xandox

My Nexus tablet defaults to the full site which sucks because I can't type into the main text box on one site that uses vanilla forums (the keyboard refuses to appear). However my android phone which uses the mobile version is all fine. Is there any way I can access the mobile site by default considering it would also look better on a tablet anyway?

Looking at your conf/config.php search for those two lines:

$Configuration['Garden']['Theme'] = 'default';
$Configuration['Garden']['MobileTheme'] = 'mobile';

Simply set $Configuration['Garden']['Theme'] to whatever your MobileTheme is.

Not exactly what I meant. I'm an end user not an admin. Can I view the moble theme as an end user regardless of my device?

You can't. I'm afraid.

Vanilla determines what user agent a device has, and serves up what it feels is the appropriate version.

That sounds like a problem with that sites editor plugin. Have you informed the admin about it?

Yes, but it requires spoofing your user agent.

Assuming you are using a modern browser, you should be able to find a plugin in your addon store.
