Same problem for me; signed in on a PC now I can't change the view setting on mobile unless I login there, which I obviously can't do.
Yes, switching to the desktop site works, if you know how to do that with your browser. On Safari on my iPhone that setting is here:The "Request Mobile Website" toggles between that and "Request Desktop Website." Doing this will temporarily avoid the problem (although viewing the desktop version on a mobile phone may be suboptimal in other ways).
