Shroomery Message Board Mobile Version? 1

Are there any plans to create a mobile version of the Shroomery message boards? The current forum is perfect for desktop navigation, but quite clunky and unintuitive when it comes to mobile browsing (especially on my cellphone and smaller tablet). Maybe there is a workaround? I know some message boards integrate into mobile applications such as tapatalk etc. Maybe that would be a better short term solution for the forum? If any Mods have time to discuss this, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!
Edit: I did just discover that there is a mobile site shroomery.org/mobile, but it does not auto redirect to it on my mobile device. Also, the interface and features seem incomplete and a bit buggy. Is the mobile site currently a work in progress or maybe abandoned for now?

Out of curiosity, what specifically do you find clunky about it?

Well, most sites will adjust their layout or show a different layout completely when being browsed by a mobile device. This will usually arrange items so they are easier to use with a smaller screen/touchscreen. Unfortunately, the shroomery does not do that and it's design has the desktop user in mind.

The admins have been talking about making the site more mobile-friendly recently.
I find the vast majority of the site to work perfectly well on mobile devices, especially on android with chrome. There are only a few problems I've come across, the avatar cropping page doesn't work, you can't resize the text field, or tell who has upvoted your post, and there are a few other minor or things, but regular browsing works perfectly fine for me.
I think they've pretty much gave up on the mobile site.

Sorry, to clarify, I didn't mean that the site did not function correctly for the most part, I was more focused on the need for a better layout/interface that would automatically adjust to the type and resolution of mobile device being used. This would be much like the current mobile site, it just seems to have been abandoned/incomplete. If most of the current forum features could be applied to the current mobile site, and a similar theme was applied, it would be amazing. Currently, I have to do a lot of pinching, zooming, etc to navigate the desktop version properly on my phone.

I just set the zoom to what I want and leave it, I don't think it's much of a hassle really, although it guess it would be nice to have the page auto fit to the screen.
