    When using the mobile version of the site on my phone, I'm not able to quote posts, nor am I able to edit my own posts. Can this be added as a feature in the future, or is there a specific reason for it being like this?

    Also, when I click on the 'Full Version' link at the bottom, I get sent to the top of the screen, rather than the actual full version of the site. 

    Sorry, if already brought up, I searched and didn't find anything about it.

    Nothing I can do. Only Invision Power can fix any issues with the mobile skin.

    Is there a way to force desktop view without switching? I mean, if it's a broken skin then why have it? <.<

    You can quote a post by tapping it.

    I can't actually navigate around my screen with a cursor though. I am also unsure of how to access the messenger and other profile things either.

    Well, that might be the problem. Flip phones almost can't handle websites like this. Since this site is designed for a computer, it requires more data - something a flip phone can't provide. So you can only do certain actions like commenting, viewing, and simple things like that. I suggest that you use a computer. If you don't have one, then I guess... use one at a library maybe.

    But I can use Sonic Retro's full site just fine, and can switch to and from the mobile version as I please. This site prevents me from doing this, and forces my phone to use the nerfed mobile version.

    Retro uses an older version of IPB. This place uses the latest version at all times.
