When posting in the forums, I keep getting redirected to iphone.gamespot.com. Just wanted to make sure you guys in the tech department were aware of this.

The first time I clicked on this thread to report that the same has been happening to me... I was redirected to the iPhone site.

Same here, and I just clicked on the forums link (not the one on the tab below your username).

I've just started seeing these, a few in the last few minutes. They do seem to be semi-random. I got the redirects mainly on www.gamespot.com links for various users' image albums. At least one of the redirects also failed to connect to the iphone.gamespot.com server, but it seems stranger when the redirects "work." Freaky stuff.

Had it too a couple of times. Seems to be pretty random when it happens. I got it first when clicking on the forum tab (community, forums, videos - tab) and another time when I clicked on a union board from "gamespot forums, your favourites"

When I use my iPhone to go to www.gamespot.com it redirects to iphone.gamespot.com why?

Can this be stopped, because this bothers me alot and it shouldn't do this because the iPhone has a full browser called Safari.

Please fix this or is there something that I need to do to stop it?

If you're on an iphone it shouldn't be a bug. What was happening is users on the PC were being directed there.

If you scroll to the bottom, there's a link that says "Go to the GameSpot.com website" on the bottom of the page. That will lead you back to the main version of GameSpot.

No that doesn't work, as I did try that.

This is something that seems to happen like once every month for a few days at a time.

The iphone site link for www.gamespot.com and the accompanying cookie are not working properly. We're working on this bug.

Crap, how could I miss this topic.:P Anyway, yes I've have the same issue. The Iphone page pops up every 15mins or so. Glad that you guys look into it, it gets very annoying.
