the other day on my smartphone, i scrolled down to bottom on this forum and hit "full version". it was nice and all but the simple version loads faster. how do i go back to simple.version?

go back to the bottom and click mobile version.

I get what you are saying, i use a tablet and switch back and forth all the time. I like the simple version better for a small screen, but it doesn't have all of the same features as the full. If you go back to the very bottom of the screen, you should be able to click 'use mobile version'. That is probably the quickest way. Also at the bottom of the screen is a 'change theme' option - you can click on that and select 'use mobile version' as well... Either way should get you back to where you want to go. Both of these are at the bottom of the screen, right above the orange-ish decorative banner/picture of a bassboat on the water.
