Responsive theme for the forum? - Like Ra - 07 Aug 2023
Do we need a responsive (aka "mobile-friendly") theme for the forum?
Examples: https://community.mybb.com/mods.php?action=browse&category=30
You should be able to choose the theme in the user panel.
If yes, which one from the list above would you pick?

As long as it respects the choice of desktop user agent on mobile browsers, I'm indifferent.
Sadly, far too often "mobile friendly" a.k.a. "forced giant and hidden everything" websites push still reduced version even when user's browser is set to desktop user agent.
What I think could use the most love, though, is the image viewer. It's the only part of the site that isn't perfectly comfortable to use on a phone for me.

And usually you have no idea what is responsible for what you actually see 😆

I seriously doubt that anything is done to improve it. The current version is the best I could find, as MyBB was never meant to be used as an image board. Here's the dedicated thread: https://www.likera.com/forum/mybb/showthread.php?tid=1139

OK, I added a mobile theme to use by search engines only. Let's see if it helps the ranking.

Google is happy, but the page ranking is yet to see the improvements...
