FULL-SCREEN AD ISSUES ON SCM (Mobile Phones)

Thanks to HIB for pointing out the ongoing problem with ads taking over the entire screen on iPhone and Android browsers. I know this has been frustrating, and I'm still working on it.

In the meantime, Rad Cabin reminded me that several users have fixed it by turning on "Desktop Mode" in their phone's browser (Chrome on Android, Safari on iPhone). I posted a quick how-to earlier this year, and I'm sharing it again for anyone who hasn't tried it yet. It only takes a few seconds:

If you've tried it and you're still having trouble, let me know. Your feedback helps me track down the problem.

Have a great day from all of us at SCM!

Looking at it from another device its an amazon ad, too big to tell on the phone, but it was difficult to dodge it long enough to say " help!" I'll dare try it again in the morning...

or PM / email me a screenshot and I can take action

HIB, bummed to hear that. The ads are NOT supposed to wreck your experience. Who is the ad for????

Big orange ad destroying the opening page, help??

Coming from erwin id suggest taking the long way round baldwin lake all the way out to stanfield, you have to wait to get to paradise to north shore but that worked after a good ten minutes standstill wait. Whew!

And if you get by that one....
• ONE-WAY TRAFFIC SR-18 from Stanfield Cutoff (Big Bear Lake) to Division Dr (Big Bear City) due to Electrical Work

That sucks HIB!
• ONE-WAY TRAFFIC SR-38 from Gold Mtn Dr (Big Bear City) to Paradise Way (Big Bear City) due to Drainage Work

Traffic between lippys and paradise is a mess...
