I have a quick patch to make the forum a lot more mobile accessible, if anyone is sad enough to want it?

Basically I have found a severely reduced "template" that will only show the essentials, and a function can spot that you are on a mobile and use that template in place of the normal one. It is very trivial to do.

If it's trivial then do it!

If trivial, it would be handy while on long journeys, for us saddos

Have tried before using the forum via a mobile & it was to painful. Will try again now. Still seems just as bad, sorry.

What are you seeing? I have been browsing and even made a post quite effectively. Do you see a very stripped down template? e.g. none of the stuff that is usually on the side, no graphics, no links at the top...
