I suggest you guys to start using a responsive theme. I agree that it's a forum and its content would not really be intended for a handheld device, but a tablet or a small netbook should not suffer because of its small screen - there is plenty of space for a forum text. However, a handheld device layout could be achieved, if some relatively unnecessary elements are removed. There's no need for a full experience, the mobile user would most probably want to just browse some threads they follow.

My problem arises that I currently browse TH with a 1024px wide netbook, as I'm not at home and away from my dual full HD setup :D.

I'm attaching a screenshot of my current view. You can see the alerts are cut off, as well as information in the right-hand of the screen (and most buttons are put in that area, as well - new post / new thread).

Besides, responsiveness is already a must-have for modern websites, and I find it odd that TH (being the modern tech help forum it is), is not mobile-friendly :D.

As I've been told in the other thread, I know that TH is just starting with Xenforo, so this is a reminder as well :).

I'm actually not against the site being more mobile friendly. I've used the site on my iPhone 4<whatever version here> before and it's pretty annoying.

Yeah, I used to have problems with my old 1024x768 screen too. Its really annoying if you have to scroll horizontally.

There is supposed to be a Responsive Style Add On for version 1.2 of the forums that we will definitely be upgrading to sometime soon in the future.

Whenever I lurk, the forums become distorted because of my resolution.

    Time does not go by faster as you get older just your perception of it. I read some studies about this when you get older you perceive time differently then when you are young

    We have been getting crazy numbers reported by the forum of people online the bots are going crazy on us I think it is AI training bots going at it at least that is what it looks like to me.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Most legit traffic is tracked on multiple Analytics and we have Cloud Flare setup to block a ton of stuff but still there is large amount of bots that seem to escape detection and show up in the user list of the forum. I have been watching this bullshit for a year and still cannot figure it out it is drving me crazy lol.
