*This includes eliminating the multi-forum approach in principal in favor of using things like RWD and AWD as tags or categories.*

That part concerns me. I really like separate forums. It might be good if it's easy to filter out AWD/FWD posts without having to do a search (maybe there are checkboxes?). What's the advantage to eliminating the siloed forums? It seems like it would make it harder to manage rather than easier.

I am glad to see you working on the site more. The missing Edit function has caused minor issues, but the "posted by a ghost in the year 0000" appearance of comments has been really awkward.

I will play around with it on my phone and desktop and give you feedback.

Edit: What missing edit function? I guess you fixed it recently! Thank you!

First impression - it seems way less usable to not have the structure of the original site. The font size is *huge* - like it makes me dizzy. Will there be a setting/option to make it smaller? I would rather read size 8 font than size 20. I feel like I need to zoom out on the page - but table view looks better.

Overall, I don't like the lack of structure around the posts. I'm the type of user who tries to avoid any kind of "mobile optimized" webpages and sets it to desktop mode because the "optimized" means Nerfed most of the time. If I'm using a site with a mobile device, I expect to be at a disadvantage over a desktop. Given how much this site is about typing messages, I will always prefer using an actual keyboard over a touchscreen.

If you really want to capture or accommodate mobile users more, what about an app? Even a semi-generic one that can interface with the board through an API? I probably have the terminology right, but I would be really turned off if the whole page became like this. I would rather see a mobile version than see the forum permanently made like that.
