Description MZMcBride 2009-06-07 04:07:29 UTC When the mobile site is down (for whatever reason), it needs an escape link to go to the normal (non-mobile) site. It's incredibly frustrating and nasty to hit an error page you can't get around when you know the (regular) site is up and running. Comment 1 Hampton Catlin 2009-06-07 05:41:51 UTC Agreed. The mobile site was having a rough day, but we should always make sure this is an option... even in error states. Comment 2 Hampton Catlin 2009-08-25 15:49:37 UTC Now it automatically sends you back to the main site whenever there is downtime.
