How to surf Hardwarezone forum in mobile mode

Annoyingly, Hardwarezone forum, a popular forum among Singaporean, does not have the option to switch to mobile mode. Instead, it auto-detect what type of device you are using and choose the option for you. Most of the time it is fine, as it switches to mobile mode for you. However, if you are using android tablet, like Nexus 7, it will stubbornly stay in full version mode which is not as user-friendly when you are using a tablet.

However, I have stumble upon a solution and would like to share with anyone facing the same annoyance.

3 Step Solution:
1)Install or use Dolphin Browser from play store on your android tablet.
2)Access the settings in Dolphin Browser and change the "User Agent" to "iPhone"
3)Volia!

You should be able to surf the forum in mobile mode now using the browser. If you unable to or accidentally changed to full version mode, try clearing the cache and cookies.
