I crunch some code. Though my training is in anthropology, I am currently doing programming. So it could be that I might be able to contribute/assist.s1m0n wrote:Oh dear.

But its a valid question. Does anyone know if the phpBB software has a mobile friendly build?
As far as I know, this site's admins don't include folks who want to crunch a lot of code for a volunteer gig. The site is off the shelf shareware, mildly customised. It's been migrated a few times to more recent versions of the software, and if there's a more mobile-friendly build that might be worth doing again. But I think that's the most you could hope for. There's no Chiff and Fipple backroom of coders. Maintaining the dbase is hard enough, and as I've said, for everyone its a volunteer gig.
In regards phpBB, I believe their current software is mobile friendly. It looks like phpBB's own website is built on phpBB. And it is pretty mobile friendly and it works much of the same as C&F on desktop: see for example https://area51.phpbb.com/phpBB/
