Yeah, thx, I eventually found your post and others in ATF, and then re-posted Mat's answer here, that they got rid of auto mobile detection.
Since they got rid of it, it's probably not ever coming back, unless there's some huge demand for it in the future. Strange that their reason was that some new devices weren't supporting it, since most phones auto recognize mobile, and the larger ones that don't are large enough to just view desktop site normally anyway. IANAP though, and I don't know how every phone works, so maybe it's legit.
You are right that changing your options is a huge PITA. For now, I'm just using Mobi skin, and when I want to view a poll/whatever, I open a new incognito tab with that page, and it will show as a desktop skin. To actually vote or use other advanced features while logged in though, you still have to change your options, which sucks.
