I do not have a cell phone of any sort, so have no knowledge of what would be involved ... but probably more than I have time (or ability!) for to make the change necessary.
But there are plenty of 'young bucks' on this Forum who may be able to provide insight ... perhaps even someone who has a ProBoards Forum of their own, and has already made that update.

Given that I'm doing web design, mobile variants usually involve having to reorganize and compress space horizontally, since the screen space on cell phones is very limited. Layout of webpages ends up cascading vertically downward. Further optimizations can involve having 'less' of the page loaded at a time, saving on the memory front.
Personally, I don't think that the forum gets enough traffic or regular activity to warrant a mobile conversion.
But, that being said, it seems to be the case that ProBoards has covered their bases, and does actually already have a mobile friendly version. I searched for "goo roo gruntz" on my google app and got a mobile friendly version of the forum...complete with a button at the bottom for an option for switching to desktop.

While I can confirm that the forum does have a mobile version, I find this version useless - primarily because it does not show new replies to threads. Thus, I always have to switch to the desktop version to get all the necessary features... which of course requires meticulously zooming in and "scrolling" around to click on things or read the text.
