    The setting asks if I want to load the desktop or mobile version as my preference. I have it set to desktop. I thought maybe it was just having problems with a site or two, but after a few weeks, not ONE time has it loaded the desktop version. What's the deal?

    My personal thought is that there's a bug. I've seen the same behavior since installing 8.1.

    When going to ESPN, use ESPN.go.com instead and it will take you to the desktop version.

    Edit: Even works if you have mobile version selected in the settings.

    Something must've changed, cause eBay was loading the mobile site for me before. Tested just now after your post and the desktop version loaded.

    It's funny, when I go to ebay, or My ebay, it's fine but, when I view a item it goes to the WAP page... Same thing happened on facebook, when I went to their homepage is was fine but, as soon as I loaded my newsfeed, it goes to the mobile page...

    Some times it works, other times it doesnt....it can be random.... still, I would see this as a bug

    You're absolutely correct with eBay. Just tried viewing an item and I still experience the same as you.
