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.
