Probably not. This place is old and creaky and the guy who used to maintain the place hasn't been around for years.

Anyway, hi, and welcome to the madhouse. :wave:

Welcome, danb! A board software update may be in the works this year, and maybe then we can upgrade mobile-friendliness.

If such a thing exists as an option for phpBB, we'll turn it on after the update. If not, then sorry. 15 years of this board is on phpBB and I'm unaware of a more mobile-friendly option that would keep all past material accessible (including threads still being kicked that are literally more than a decade old). Does anyone know of such a thing?

hi thanks for the welcome.

if RI is getting upgraded to phpBB 3.2 or onwards it would seem all of the themes are mobile friendly.

fingers crossed
