Hi All,

Sorry about that. The forum update last year made it easier to access RootsChat on mobile devices, but there are still the occasional stumbling stones, and this looks like one of them. 

I don't have a mobile device myself, so I've passed the problem on to Trystan.

regards,
Bob

ps. 
How about other "Reference Library" projects (SIT, Lexicon, etc) ?
Can you access them on mobile devices ?

I'm looking into this problem, so hopefully I'll have a fix for this in the next couple of hours.

I'm still looking into a fix, however in the mean time Android tablet and newer mobile users can tap on the row of three vertical dots on the top right of their browser, and select 'Request desktop site'. This will then take you to the correct page.  :)
