Hi Kevin,

Have you tried putting code on the full site to check the referring? If the visitor came from the third-party site, then don't redirect.

Regards,
Alisak.

At the time I noticed that mobile users never had a chance to visit our full site because they would be re-routed each time back to the mobile site. None of us could figure out what code we would use or change to break the cycle, so our workaround at the time was to serve up an alternate version of our index on our mobile site that didn't include the above code. Can anyone help lead us in the right direction? We are in the early stages of learning Drupal and may be heading in that direction (or Wordpress) - but we would like to fix this and get away from our original workaround. Thanks!
