How to go back to Desktop view from Mobile view in this forum

This is just in case someone else runs into the same issue I did. I selected “Mobile view” using the icon at the bottom of the forum pages:

and it worked well. But there wasn’t an equivalent icon then to switch back to Desktop view. Nor did removing the forum.atuin.sh cookie data make any difference.

After a bit of teeth gnashing I remembered the URL on the Mobile view link had mobile_view=1 as a query parameter. So I just (h|t)acked on mobile_view=0 as a query parameter to a forum URL and everything was back to how it was.

Perhaps this will help someone.

I even don’t see that icon anywhere but the query works. The setting is stored in localStorage.
