Damon,
You can limit the size of the avatars (and of that column too) for mobile versions.
In the index.css, go to the last line and add this:
This will solve the problem of the squeezed post area.
After the line 2213 (.poster li.stars, .poster li.avatar, .poster li.blurb, li.postcount, li.im_icons ul) after the close bracket, include this:
For the avatars at top:
Go to the file "mx-style.responsive.css" and, at line 15 you will see this:
Delete that "max-width:100%;" and it will work.

I know my way around .css, I kind of do it for a living.
Normally I try to avoiding messing with the templates and such because then you are out of standard and have to redo it all on the next update. I'm looking around for themes that already have what we need. If I wanted to jack around with the code, I'd just build one myself and be done with it.

That solution requires only a copy and paste, but its up to you 
I know and appreciate it. But again, it's not the work. I just prefer to either do it all myself or have a plug n' play solution that doesn't require my constant intervention. Not half and half. I'll try a few more prepackaged themes and if they don't work, guess we'll start customizing.

For anyone with this problem - this is a semi-reactive theme meant to shrink for smaller screens. The idea is when using a phone you turn off the sidebars and hold your phone sideways. This will leave you with a perfectly sized reading and posting area that doesn't require horizontal scrolling. I use it on my S4 and have no problems at all. If you don't know how, it's the small "-" buttons at far right above the sidebar. Clicking one will remove the sidebar, and the button will change to a "+". Click it again to restore the sidebar. See attached screenshot.
I realize it's not a perfect solution - the theme should have been designed to only shrink so far, handle sidebars, and allow vertical device orientation as well. However, it's going to have to do for the moment. I'm locked down with job/school again, but should be free in the next week or so to start revisiting the forum design. When I do, I'll be looking for something that is fully reactive as I just described.

Squishy. It's also the same thing on my phone too, the iPad though looks good, but that's a tablet not a phone.
Code also looks washed out, when I edited the android port topic, i used code instead of quotes for the release notes.
Is there a mobile SMF theme or plugin available probably?
Saw the following upon googling mobile SMF themes:
http://smf-media.com/ - smf2mobile is a paid theme for SMF 2 that supports mobile themes.
http://www.nairaland.com/1855004/smf-forum-admins-create-responsive - Here's some others as well.

See also: It's meant for horizontal orientation (which again is not a perfect solution, but that's just how the theme was intended to work).

I'll take a look at these. There ARE mobile themes, but we don't want a pure mobile theme any more than a desktop only theme. Responsive is the way to go. I know some are out there, and if not as I said before, I'll find the closest thing and modify it to suit. I just want to avoid that route if at all possible.
