That's just designers who don't get it. They're starting to nowadays.
I remember the WAP, I-mode, and etc. interfaces in SMF worked just fine
on small screens. Nowadays there are specialized iPhone interfaces.
And of course skins that scale fine.
In contrast, I haven't a clue how to use NNTP on my iPhone. Go figure.

I'm just trying to say that a forum doesn't have to look like these
examples.
You also complained how the forum sites doesn't work on a small
screen. Have a
look at this site:

I know this site is not a forum but the content flows really nice when
you
resize the browser window to a smaller size and it works great on mobile
devices. I don't see any reason why these techniques can't be
implemented on a
forum.
I don't see any reason, either. It's why I said that forum software
writers just don't get it :-)
