What do the buttons disable responsive and enable responsive do?

The Disable/Enable Responsive buttons at the bottom of the page allow members to activate or deactivate the “responsive” site experience. The default for the BateWorld is a responsive experience.

Disabling this feature, causes the site to load in a standard way across all equipment, except smartphones.
