> We installed a mobile-friendly “theme.” The ads are causing problems; I’m trying to get that straightened out. In the meantime, I notice that formatting problems are less noticeable when pages are viewed in landscape orientation. I apologize for the inconvenience.

On mobile, portrait mode - I see thread title & post count. I cannot scroll L/R.  
On mobile, landscape mode - I see threat title, post count, & views. I cannot scroll L/R.  
On desktop - I see thread title, last post (date/time & by \<username hyperlink\> post count, view. No need to scroll.

IOW, there is info missing from the mobile version…on two separate browsers. Unless, I check “request desktop site”, which, of course, defeats the purpose of having a mobile friendly site. :smack:  
As I stated previously, there is a very, _very_ subtle light grey box around the quote; the line color used to be more pronounced. Can it be darkened like it used to be?
