Bowsite search, how to convert mobile?

I am searching old threads. Many come up on mobile view. I want to view them on my laptop, as they originally were formatted. I know someone had the trick to convert them, but I cannot find it or figure out how.

Thanks in advance.

I add "full site" to my search.

If you know how to exclude words, I'd exclude "mobile".

Most of the times I can get it to work that way.

Also, I use google instead of the Bowsite search.

Thread you want site:Bowsite.com

I do it as follows, but I'll admit, this may not seem intuitive to most people:

The URL for a mobile thread is formatted like this in your browser window:

http://mobile.bowsite.com/forums/thread.cfm?threadid=461594&messages=13&forum=4

The URL for a full site thread is formatted like this:

http://forums.bowsite.com/tf/bgforums/thread.cfm?threadid=461861&messages=1&forum=36

So I copy the 6-digit thread ID from the mobile URL (shown in red above). Then open any existing thread on the regular site and paste the 6 digit Thread ID into the URL string in place of same. So in the above examples, you'd replace the "461861" with "461594" in your browser window, then hit enter.

I like that! Thanks stick!

Thanks guys! Exactly what I was looking for.
