Mobile version stopped working properly?

About a week-ish ago the mobile format of TVT seems to have disappeared and replaced with what seems like an even worse version of the desktop version (well, worse for a phone). E.g., the text boxes for entering replies and making edits is tiny as hell unless I zoom in and the menu console occupies the left third of the screen permanently (desktop mode it doesn't happen). It's also made editing any substantial page a pain because my fingers are not that nimble and I continually have to make sure I didn't screw one letter up — happened to me an hour ago on the Suddenly Significant Rule page where I had to resort to a desktop to fix a catastrophic edit.

Did something get updated and cause this or something? At this rate I may be forced to severely limit my own editing because it's become too difficult to do so on mobile.

Are you sure you didn't accidentally swap to the desktop version? Scroll to the very bottom of any page and see if it says 'Switch to Mobile Version' or 'Switch to Desktop Version'.

If you're still in mobile version, try clearing your cache; sometimes there are momentary bugs with the site that get fixed, but unless you force your computer to clear its cache your browser won't realize it.

Nope, this happens in ostensibly mobile version — switching to desktop version yields a different but still just as cumbersome layout.

I will move to the linked thread for further discussion if listed solutions don't work.
